The ancestor of all 4x (expand/explore/exploit/exterminate) games.
VMS-Empire is a simulation of a full-scale war between two emperors,
the computer and you. Naturally, there is only room for one, so the
object of the game is to destroy the other. The computer plays by the
same rules that you do. This game is the ancestor of all the multiplayer
4X simulations out there, including Civilization and Master of Orion.
Volleyball is a simple sports game, starring two penguins. Is a two
player game, and follows the basic rules of actual Volleyball. Each
player hits the ball, trying to reach the opponents field. If the
ball touches the floor of the opponents field, the player scores
one point.
Just what you always wanted. Hardcore Quake fanatics can
now enjoy their favorite game in a 64x64 window!
Wyrmsun is an open-source RTS game which features elements of
mythology, history and fiction.
In the Wyrmsun universe a myriad of inhabited planets exist. Humans
dwell on Earth, while dwarves inhabit Nidavellir and elves nourish
the world of Alfheim. These peoples struggle to carve a place for
themselves with their tools of stone, bronze and iron. And perhaps
one day they will meet one another, beyond the stars...
This is abacus for X Window System. Essentially, this is a proof
by induction that a computer is more powerful than an abacus, since
a computer program can contain an abacus. (But then again, you can
simulate a computer within a computer, so what does that show).
Actually, with a real abacus, one can move more than one row at a
time with 10 fingers. But on the other hand, a real abacus does
not have the current sum displayed as an integer.
A program that looks superficially like the minesweeper program that
comes supplied with MS Windows (and is also available in other
versions). Runs under X Windows on the UNIX operating system.

Which Way Is Up is a traditional and challenging 2D platformer game
with a slight rotational twist. Help a mysterious big-eared salaryman
named Guy find his keys in a labyrinth of dangers and bad dialogue.
Yet again, the fate of the world rests in your hands! An evil computer hacker,
known only by his handle 'Lennart', has created the ultimate computer virus. A
virus so powerful that it has the power to transmute an ordinary computer into
a toaster oven. (oooh!) 'Lennart' has cloned himself into a billion-jillion
micro-Lenns. Their sole purpose is to deliver the nefarious virus, which has
been cleverly diguised as a popularinit system.
As System Administrator/Exterminator, your job is to keep Lennart from
succeeding at his task.

The original Panex puzzle is from the Japanese Magic Company
from the 1980's. Mathematicians at Bell Laboratories estimated
the number of moves to swap 2 columns of order 10 to be
27,564 <= N <= 31,537. It came in two varieties: one with a
blue and a yellow pyramid of order 10 on silver tiles; in the
gold version pieces of each color look alike i.e. no pyramid
is drawn on them), this is a little harder.
The original Tower of Hanoi puzzle is the invention of
Edouard Lucas and was sold as a toy in France in 1883. The
legend of 64 disks in the great temple of Benares of the god
Brahma is also his invention.
