Thanks.  I hope it is possible to find stuff on the way back up, because it seems you would run out of food otherwise.  Closest I've come is going back to level 19, despite falling back through trapdoors 4 times.

After years of not playing Rogue, I found a version here that is identical to the one I played in the late 80s and early 90s.  Since then I've managed to get the amulet twice, but haven't managed to win.  I have a few questions:

1.  When you start going back up the stairs, are the levels randomly generated again?
2.  Will you ever find any food or items on the way back up?
3.  Are the monsters still level-dependent?  I mean once I get to level 17 I don't have to worry about Griffins anymore?

Thanks.  I've read this thread all the way through, and congrats to those that have won. Some day before I die I hope to do so. 

The version at the above site says version 1.0.  Does it have that ISRUN bug you guys have talked about. It sure seems like it does.  Just to give you a little more info about that version:

1.  You can't die of hypothermia
2.  U is for Ur-vile
3.  Only one type of identity scroll
4.  No hallucination or levetation
