[sf-lug] console (non-X) video games?

[Michael Paoli]

There are lots of console (no X required and in many/most cases X not
supported) "games" (or stuff that's often lumped in with games, though
some could well be argued to be utilities).

Here's quick list of stuff I have on one of my systems:

$ echo `(cd /usr/games; for tmp in *; do 2>>/dev/null ldd "$tmp" | >>/dev/null
2>&1 fgrep -e libX -e 'not a dynamic executable' || echo "$tmp"; done)`

$ 
Might be some false positives in that (and perhaps also some "missing"), but
that's 68 "games", ... and I show approximately 43 "games" in the bsdgames
package.
worm(6) is fairly fun and quite simple (in principle, anyway).  I think I
once played a perfect game of worm(6).
