UltraRogue 1.0.7

UltraRogue was developed by Herb Chong between 1985 and 1986. Mostly distributed in binary form; later an unofficial archive was commonly available (v1.0.3, 8/13/1986).

UltraRogue is based on Rogue 3.6 and an early version of Advanced Rogue. Herb Chong provided the source code in 1992 and allowed it to be updated to compile on modern systems — the first restoration this project ever undertook. Updated to ANSI C; new code written to save and restore the game state. Herb and I fiddled with it on and off between 1992–1995, and I picked it up again when the SourceForge project began in 2000.

This is a semi-active version of Rogue rather than a pure restoration. Changes to gameplay and other cosmetic changes have occurred and will continue to occur.
