Official descriptions (2)
(ESTABLISHING SHOT) A weary ADVENTURER, wearing battered armor
and 10 glowing rings, clutching a potion bottle, and laden with all
manner of weapons, magical devices, and sacks of gold, lies panting on
the ground outside of the seedy-looking entrance to a grimy Dungeon.
The nearby scenery is uniformly grey and uninteresting.
Bluff Male Voice: Retrieved the Amulet of Yendor too many times to
count?
Sultry Female Voice: Can't see anything in the Eye of Larn?
BMV: Eaten one too many Zombie corpses?
SFV: Run out of Greater Gods to kill?
CLOSE-UP: The ADVENTURER's sweat-streaked face, which is
nicked and bruised. He has a black eye.
The ADVENTURER nods wearily, and, it seems, with some boredom.
MBV+SFV: Then take the ultimate challenge ... The final quest ... OMEGA!
(PAN VERTICALLY TOWARD SKY)
The Mormon Tabernacle Choir: Ooooooo -- mega!
A shaft of brilliant sunlight pierces the overcast sky,
revealing a Mystic Portal in the sky. A rainbow bridge lances from
the portal toward the ADVENTURER. As the ADVENTURER hesitantly sets
foot on the bridge, he (with the viewer) is swept through the M.P.
in a masterpiece of computer animation. There is a flash of light,
and a TRANSFORMED ADVENTURER, in newly polished and chromed armor,
wielding a flaming sword, strides confidently toward an edifice that
makes the Castle of Ultimate Darkness look like a sandcastle. The
landscape is vibrantly colored, and we feel that there are new
challenges awaiting just over the horizon.
TMTC: Magnificat! Magnificat! Magnificat!
BMV: Coming Soon to a site near you!
SFV: Challenge Omega -- The Final Quest!
As the ADVENTURER passes through the entrance to the AWESOME
CASTLE, a giant portcullis slams shut behind him with the force of
a Death Star bulkhead, and we hear a muffled scream, soon cut off.
Satanic Male Voice: If you dare! <laughs insanely>

# 2012-05-10 17:45:08 - official descriptionOmega is a complex rogue-style game of dungeon exploration. Unlike other such
games, there are a number of ways to "win", depending on various actions
taken during play. The ways you can get your name on the high score board
include becoming the highest ranked head of a guild, sect, college, etc., as
well as gaining the most points figured from possessions and experience. The
game (via the oracle) may impose some structure on your exploration, but you
need not follow all of the oracle's advice. There *is* a "total winner"
status, by the way.
