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@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at 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? 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. _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
