Re: "Terminal games What are your favourite games playable in a..."
csol (I think I got it off github) is a very nice pseudo-graphical solitaire suite I found. Ultimately I think I'm still desperately looking for the terminal games that scratch my particular itch. I really want stuff more in the Sumerian Game/Oregon Trail kind of family. There's bound to be ports of old games like that for modern terminals I just haven't found yet. I found a good one for Santa Paravia which is similar to Empire for Palm (not to be confused with Empire the terminal game, this is a Sumerian Game style game). I'd love to hear if anyone's found other similar ports of older text-based games for modern Linux terminals. I want more simulation.

well if we're talking BBS doors I could go on all day, they still host zillions of old dos games, muds, casino games and new stuff like Wordle. Locally it's probably frotz & brogue for me.

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.

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.
