Yes, a lot. In slackware, they're in the bsdgames package. Your distro
probably has that too.

Hmm.  There was a time, when RH included the oldies by default. 
Apparently not any more.  As the others said, try searching for an RPM of 
the BSDGames package.

While we're talking about games, how accessible is gnu chess? I've
seen it listed for years but never had a clue if blind people could
use it effectively or not.  If it's any good, I might pull it up and
play with it a bit.

Here on my Slackware 9.0 system, some games were installed in
/usr/games.  If you are heavily into interactive fiction (text) games,
you might want to check out the interactive fiction site at

<a href="http://ifarchive.org">this place.</a>

If you want to get into online multi-user domains (MUDs), you might
want to start by looking up

<a href="http://www.game.org">this place.</a>

also, if you like dungion type games you may want to check out 
nethack. I forget the url but it's somewhere on sourceforge.

Besides, its really not worthwhile to use more than two times your physical 
ram in swap (except in a select few situations). The performance of the system 
becomes so abysmal you'd rather heat pins under your toenails while reciting 
Windows95 source code and staring at porn flicks of Bob Dole than actually try 
to type something.

Re: games

[Cheryl Homiak]

I know there was a discussion on this list or blinux about usable chess so 
you could search both archives if you're interested. It seemed to me like 
gnuchess was used by some people, and I think there's a chess that works 
with emacs/emacspeak too, but I don't remember all the details.

Yes, try the bsd games collection package, assuming your distribution
comes with it. Slackware does come with it in the I believe y series,
if you're using slackware.

Re: games

[Jayson Smith]

If you're talking about console games, there's a collection of games called
BSD Games.  In Gentoo, the package name is bsd-games I think.  Other
distributions probably have their own packages for it.  I think with Debian
they are automatically installed.  Some are less usable by a blind person
than others, but there are such classics as "Hunt the Wumpus" and "Advent",
as well as a very usable monopoly game called monop.
