2026-03-12: Cocopedia.com is now using a new caching system that should make things faster. Please let me know if you encounter any new issues.

2026-03-15: MediaWiki has been reinstalled and the old database and files restored. It was pretty clogged up from being upgraded so many times since 2004. I am also testing out Cloudflare to see if it can prevent the 'bot assaults that took the site down last year.

Description

An adventure game based on the rules of the "Dungeons & Dragons" RPGs.

The classic version uses ASCII characters instead of graphics, because it was designed to run even in "dumb terminals".

The CoCo port runs on OS-9, and has a 40 col. mode, a 80 col. mode and a graphic mode. This last one uses a special set of characters, and can be selected by typing MAKEGW at the command prompt before running ROGUE.
