Any accessible games in Linux?

Any accessible games in Linux?

[Christian]

Hello all,
I have been looking for any games that would work with either Speakup or BRLTTY. I have been using my Linux as a tool more than an entertainment system. So when i want to use these i go back to Windows. Any ideas what i can do to get more fun with Linux?
many thanks,
Christian

I've considered making moon-buggy use BrlAPI for displaying the moon
buggy and truck as braille dots on braille devices, but didn't yet find
the time to do it.

The topic 'games' is quite large, but maybe there is something you
would like at one of these sites:

The Interactive Fiction Archive (all sorts of text adventure games,
compilers, libraries, and stuff):
http://ifarchive.org/

For Multi-User Domain games (MUDs), you can start looking on the sight
below.  These often use telnet interfaces on ports such as 4000 and
5000 for text-based interaction.  Some of these may have lots of other
players online with you, and others may be somewhat less popular.

I hope this is enough to get you started.  Have a _great_ day!

Jim Danley wrote me a version of an old game I used to enjoy playing
on my first Pet-2000 the one with the chicklet keyboard.  It was
called maxit and unfortunately a disaster with a hard drive caused Jim
to lose the source code but you can find a binary version for i386 in
the goodies directory with the name maxit.gz.  It is a cursor based
game and a fair amount of fun until you can lick it consistantly.
