+.Sh NAME
+.Nm battlestar
+.Nd a tropical adventure game
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm
+.Op Fl r
+.Op Ar saved-file
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+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 for 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
+
+put on --- take an object and wear it
+take off -- draw an object and drop it
+
+throw \*[Lt]object\*[Gt] \*[Lt]direction\*[Gt]
+
+! \*[Lt]shell esc\*[Gt]
+.Ed
+.Sh IMPLIED OBJECTS
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+\*[Gt]-: take watermelon
+watermelon:
+Taken.
+\*[Gt]-: eat
+watermelon:
+Eaten.
+\*[Gt]-: take knife and sword and apple, drop all
+knife:
+Taken.
+broadsword:
+Taken.
+apple:
+Taken.
+knife:
+Dropped.
+broadsword:
+Dropped.
+apple:
+Dropped.
+\*[Gt]-: 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 \*[Am] INVEN
+The two commands
+.Dq score
+and
+.Dq inven
+will print out your current status in the game.
+.Sh SAVING A GAME
+The command
+.Dq save
+will save your game in a file called
+.Pa .Bstar
+in your home directory by default.
+You can recover a saved game by using the
+.Fl r
+option when you start up the
+game, or by giving the name of the saved file as an argument.
+Save files will be saved to and restored from your home directory unless a
+path is specified - i.e.,
+.Dq Li battlestar -r savedgame
+will look for
+.Pa savedgame
+in your home directory, but
+.Dq Li battlestar -r ./savedgame
+will look in the current directory.
+.Dq Li battlestar -r
+will look for the default file,
+.Pa .Bstar
+in your home directory.
+.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, and 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!
