Re: "Terminal games What are your favourite games playable in a..."
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.
