Here are some games I have installed, text-only. alienwave Shoot'em up game written using ncurses aop A curses based arcade game with only 64 lines of code avanor Rogue-like game with easy ADOM-like user interface block Small text based maze game cavezofphear Boulder Dash / Digger-like game written using ncurses freebsd-games FreeBSD-modified "Standard" BSD games (Lots of them here, classics like "trek") freesweep Minesweeper-style game for text-mode terminals galaxis Clone of the nifty little Macintosh game greed-game A text puzzle game with the aim of clearing the game field hunt Rogue-like multiplayer game (This one is kind of fun, but very hard to find a partner!) nInvaders The nIvaders game is a Space Invaders clone for ncurses nibbles Nibbles is a simple ncurses-based console game pentix This is a game of pentix for terminals plonx A small ascii puzzle game seabattle A curses based battleship type game sokoban Logical game: problems with packets in cave ztrack Simple ncurses based pseudo-3D driving game gnuchess GNU Chess (this is HARD!) > More or less I'd like to get some more games that will run on older > hardware.

I was into collecting terminal-based games for awhile. Some of them are actually quite fun. BSD tetris for example (though it seems awful slow on an NFS filesystem for some reason) Seems to me, someone created a curses based "DOOM" game at one point as well, but I can't seem to find it. hunt is fun, but it's difficult to find someone to play it with. (I don't have much practice) One problem is terminal I/O, some of them are just not practical over a 9600 baud serial line... Have fun!
