'''Rescue Rover''' is a puzzle game by the [[:Category:id Software|id Software]] group for [[Softdisk]] publishing, released in 1991. It is the first in a 2-part game series featuring Roger and his faithful dog Rover. It's a whimsical arcade/puzzle game that pits you against evil Robots while you try to rescue Rover from their clutches. The second part, released the same year was [[Rescue Rover 2]], based on similar formats to the [[Commander Keen Dreams]] game.

== File formats ==

This section lists the major file formats used in the game.

* [[Commander Keen 1-3 Level format]] - <tt>LEVELxx.ROV</tt> are game levels.
* [[Commander Keen EGA Header]] the EGA header is used to read graphics files.
* [[EGA Font format]] <tt>EGAFONT0.ROV</tt> stores monochrome font used in the game
* [[Inverse Frequency Sound format]] - <tt>SOUNDS.ROV</tt> sotes the game sounds.
* [[Rescue Rover Saved game format]] <tt>SAVEx.ROV</tt> store the game's save files. They are 38 bytes long.
* [[Softdisk Library Format]] - The start menu is in this format
* [[PIC Format#PIC format version 2|PIC format version 2]] - all files that have "PIC" in their name (e.g. <tt>TITLEPIC.ROV</tt>) are in this format, compressed with [[RLEW compression#RLEB compression|RLEB compression]]
* [[Raw EGA data#Planar EGA data|Full-screen planar EGA]] Most graphics are in this format, compressed or rearranged in various ways. Sprites, tiles (two files) and fonts are all stored in separate files.
* [[Keen 1-3 RLE compression]] This is used to compress the ending and previews screens and is a modified form of RLE.
* Text is contained in the executable, the executable is compressed with [[LZW compression]], and can be uncompressed with [[UNLZEXE]].

== Notes ==

The game was produced before [[Commander Keen 1-3]] but uses almost identical, though less efficient formats for nearly all its files.
