To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux.
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.

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. --le ----- Original Message ----- From: "Zachary Kline" <Z_kline@hotmail.com> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup@braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Friday, March 09, 2007 1:33 AM 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?

There is a Scott Adams adventure game interpreter and all of the original ten adventures are available. They are all text based. I played these almost thirty years ago, they were really great games. There are also TRS-80 emulators that can do the same, and I believe there are some online interpreters where you can play these in a web page. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 16+ messages in thread

The name of the interpreter for infocom games is frotz (well that's the one I use) and it works well with speakup. I can't remember where to download it, but ubuntu and gentoo both have it in their repositries, and you'll find it if you search for frotz on the internet. I can't remember where I got the 3 original zork games (zork 1, zork 2 and zork 3), but if you search for "zork2.z5" you'll probably find it. There were some other zork games, (e.g. zork the undiscovered underground), and there are some other games written in the same format by other authors. Sorry I couldn't give any specific websites for archives of the games.

I've found that game far more challenging than nethack about equal with adom ancient domains of mystery. Nethack is more understandable than tome since characters can have multiple descriptions depending on game map context. The most interesting I've found because multiple quests are available are adom omega tome and least of the three would be nethack and rogue. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 16+ messages in thread

Hiya, I've heard of TOME and Angband and the like. I didn't think much of them before, but I'll see what that's like. Adom is certainly a lot of fun. I don't use Debian, though I think Gentoo has similar stuff. Thanks much, Zack. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jude DaShiell" <jdashiel@shellworld.net> To: <speakup@braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Saturday, March 10, 2007 2:06 PM Subject: re: games and amusements > The tome game is available for debian now source code at > http://www.t-o-m-e.net tome stands for troubles of middle earth.

The package hasn't been rebuilt to conform with current debian policy which is the reason for the deprication. What it does once installed if you're root and type int-fiction-install update is to get you the whole catalog of z games from the internet which you can then search on your machine and have theint-fiction package download for you. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 16+ messages in thread
