When I was on unix I used to play boggle and mastermind in addition to
rogue. There were others in the games directory, including the ancient
adventure game, but that was back in school and after hours where I worked
which was a long time ago.
Just look in /usr/games or wherever that stuff is kept.
Have fun, and beware of blowing away a lot of time -- once years ago I
actually won at rogue, and after seeing all those grave stones with my name
on it from past lost games, I hoped for something exciting to happen when I
ascended out of the dungeon -- but the way it was set up, you just wandered
around among a bunch of trees and pools and the same monsters were there
chasing you, and I was mightily disappointed... In the end I regretted all
the time wasted. But hey, sometimes it is a way to unwind.
Happy hacking.

Subject: Games and Amusements
Howdy,
I was wondering if anybody might be able to give me an idea of what games
and amusements they might be able to successfully access under Linux? I
myself am a big fan of the 'roguelike games', and have found that for the
most part Speakup works tolerably well with most of them. (The only real
annoyance I can see is that the keys to move by lines are defaulting to
reading the new line--and in the case of a game like Nethack or Rogue that
doesn't always make much sense. I was wondering about a possible feature to
toggle the up-down behavior--possibly to read characters, words, or lines as
appropriate?
Also, I was wondering what anybody else on here thinks? How do you amuse
yourselves with Linux?
Thanks much,
Zack.
