+.Sh NAME
+.Nm battlestar
+.Nd a tropical adventure game
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm battlestar
+.Op Fl r Em Pq recover a saved game
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm Battlestar
+is an adventure game in the classic style.  However, It's slightly less
+of a
+puzzle and more a game of exploration.  There are a few magical words
+in the game, but on the whole, simple English
+should suffice to make one's desires understandable to the parser.
+.Sh THE SETTING
+In the days before the darkness came, when battlestars ruled the
+heavens...
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+Three He made and gave them to His daughters,
+Beautiful nymphs, the goddesses of the waters.
+One to bring good luck and simple feats of wonder,
+Two to wash the lands and churn the waves asunder,
+Three to rule the world and purge the skies with thunder.
+.Ed
+.Pp
+In those times great wizards were known and their powers were beyond
+belief.  They could take any object from thin air, and, uttering the
+word 
+.Sq su
+could disappear.
+.Pp
+In those times men were known for their lust of gold and desire to
+wear fine weapons.  Swords and coats of mail were fashioned that could
+withstand a laser blast.
+.Pp
+But when the darkness fell, the rightful reigns were toppled.  Swords
+and helms and heads of state went rolling across the grass.  The entire
+fleet of battlestars was reduced to a single ship.
+.Sh SAMPLE COMMANDS
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+take	---	take an object
+drop	---	drop an object
+
+wear	---	wear an object you are holding
+draw	---	carry an object you are wearing
+
+puton	---	take an object and wear it
+take off --	draw an object and drop it
+
+throw  <object> <direction>
+
+!	<shell esc>
+.Ed
+.Sh IMPLIED OBJECTS
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+>-: take watermelon
+watermelon:
+Taken.
+>-: eat
+watermelon:
+Eaten.
+>-: take knife and sword and apple, drop all
+knife:
+Taken.
+broadsword:
+Taken.
+apple:
+Taken.
+knife:
+Dropped.
+broadsword:
+Dropped.
+apple:
+Dropped.
+>-: get
+knife:
+Taken.
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Notice that the "shadow" of the next word stays around if you
+want to take advantage of it.  That is, saying "take knife" and then
+"drop"
+will drop the knife you just took.
+.Sh SCORE & INVEN
+The two commands "score" and "inven" will print out your current status
+in the game.
+.Sh SAVING A GAME
+The command "save" will save your game in a file called "Bstar."  You
+can recover a saved game by using the "-r" option when you start up the
+game.
+.Sh DIRECTIONS
+The compass directions N, S, E, and W can be used if you have a compass.
+If you don't have a compass, you'll have to say R, L, A, or B, which
+stand for Right, Left, Ahead, and Back.
+Directions printed in room descriptions are
+always printed in R, L, A, & B relative directions.
+.Sh HISTORY
+I wrote Battlestar in 1979 in order to experiment with the niceties of
+the C Language.
+Most interesting things that happen in the game are hardwired into the
+code, so don't send me any hate mail about it!
+Instead, enjoy art for art's sake!
