Also, I forgot. OFC, VMS Empire it's fine from time to time, but you need to launch it like this: "vms-empire -d 0" or "empire -d 0" to avoid the nasty delay on actions and feedback.

Slashem, which is Nethack but with nice new classes/roles and tons of new content; All Thing Devours as a crazy puzzle IF, Spiritwrak because it's a crazy Zorkian adventure with an odd blend of phantasy and some sparse tech here and there; cgames, and mstly csokoban; super-star-trek because it's like a mini-Elite. BSD games are fine, too, specially battlestar, trek and advent.
Terminal games What are your favourite games playable in a terminal? Here are a few I've loved and/or respected: Interactive fiction / text adventure games, e.g. Spider & Web, Varicella, Worlds Apart, Galatea, Counterfeit Monkey, Hadean Lands nethack, crawl, brogue asciiportal alienwave hunt mdg (sadly defunct multiplayer dungeon crawler on sdf) spellbinding and other gemini games (if they should count)
