+is a display oriented dungeons \*[Am] dragons-like game.
Both display and command structure resemble rogue.
(For a game with the same structure but entirely different display -

+To win the game (as opposed to merely playing to beat other people's high
scores) you must locate the Amulet of Yendor which is somewhere below
the 20th level of the dungeon and get it out.
Nobody has achieved this yet and if somebody does, he will probably go
Cavemen, Fighters, Knights, Speleologists, Tourists or Wizards.
It may also be followed by one or more player names to print the scores of the
players mentioned.
