Cool Ascii Games for Linux and BSD

Thursday, 30th July 2009

I myself am a big gamer since my youth. Being a Linux evangelist for quite some time as well as a BSD geek I had my period of interest into how developed are the available games for Unix based operating systems. In that manner of thoughts I got interested into the ascii games available for Linux and BSD. It’s really fun to play a bunch of games every now and then via SSH or simply to play on your TTY. Currently I have installed the following list of Ascii games on my FreeBSD box:

adventure battlestar cfscores hack nethack primes snake wtfalienwave bb cribbage hangman number quiz snscore wumparithmetic bcd dosbox larn phantasia random strfile xrickarkanoid.sed bs factor mille piano robots teachgammonascii_invaders bsdtris fish moon-buggy pig rogue trekatc caesar fortune morse pom rot13 unstrbackgammon canfield grdc nInvaders ppt sail worm
Install them and have a lot of fun :)
Also if you'd like to play cool ascii games I have enabled all of the above mentioned games plus some extra more to be played directly via SSH or Telnet login to my node.
Play Ascii Games on Pc-freak

To play the ascii games:

telnet or ssh to: ascii-games.www.pc-freak.net
login with user: play
password: playnow

Enjoy!

    i tried the command ipfw table 1 add xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx’ manually to see if it works under freebsd 4.11 but seems it doesn’t work (working fine under freebsd 5.3)

    Very descriptive article, I enjoyed that bit. Will there be a part 2?|
