I don't know what it was exactly, but in the mid 1980s a version of
rogue existed for OS-9 Level 2 on the 6809 and I ran it on a Radio Shack
Color Computer.  By the later part of that decade, I had access to a
PDP11 running 2.something BSD and played rogue there too.  The Color
Computer version was either a good clone, or someone had access to the
source code.

This -> http://www.lcurtisboyle.com/nitros9/rogue.html looks like it..
