Rogue was sold commercially by ID Software and was available for a wide variety of platforms.
The source code is available and can be compiled with MANX's Aztec C 3.40a.
There are three versions of Rogue that run under DOS on a PC:
- The first was a direct port, of Rogue 3.6, which has no graphic options.
- The second one was a per-release of the commercial labeled 'Public Domain'.
- Finally, a port of Rogue 5.0.2 which has the CGA Splash screen show above.
