One more round a thousand times
In 1000 Rogues you will be sending up to 1000 heroes on their separate quests, each one contained in their own retro-console. As they auto-battle into glorious victory or crushing defeat, it will fall upon your shoulders to equip them for success or at least gather their remains.
The Puzzle within thousand puzzles
Each time you boot up a new machine you select a hero and send them on their merry way which may end only in two ways - they will either succeed or perish in the dungeon. Regardless of their fate, any item recovered by the hero can be transferred to another hero onto another machine or stored for later use. Remember, you haven’t min-maxed unless you have min-maxed the min-maxing.
Thousands and thousands of items
All of your auto-battling heroes will courageously always move to the right - as in all good retro games. However, this doesn’t mean they’re self-sufficient and it is in your interest to stack the odds in their favour. Stack them up with potions, items, and campaign gear. Also keep that floppy disc at hand. You never know when you will need to SAVE to save your heroes.
