Quite possibly one of the most addictive games out there.

Use only two buttons to activate the thrust jets of your ship in
this first-person 3D version of the classic SF-Cave game.
Falcon's Eye is nethack.
With a graphical interface.
With sound.
This port features per-user config: when you first start Falcon's Eye,
it creates $HOME/.falcon and copie default configuration files there,
that you can then edit.
Xsoldier is a space-based shoot'em up game. You fly around and try
to kill everything that moves... and everything that doesn't move...
You get the idea.
ZNibbles is a multi-player networked game. It is based on the old
nibbles game: you've got a worm, eat nibbles and get your worm growing.
Several players can play together, each of them controlling its own worm
on its own computer.
There is theoretically an unlimited number of simultaneous players, it's
more a matter of network speed. It has been tested with more than 10
players and it was real fun :) ZNibbles is written for Unix. It has been
tested under Linux, SunOS, Solaris and Irix. The game can run either
directly on top of X11, use the GTK+ toolkit (get it on the GTK+ site)
or use the Motif toolkit (get a good Motif free implementation called
LessTif)
Once compiled, you get the files:
nibbles : the ZNibbles server
gznibbles : the ZNibbles GTK+ client
znibblesX : the ZNibbless X11-only client (poor)
Run "nibbles" first as the ZNibbles server, and then run its clients to
play.
Xtron is a simple one or two player version of the old
classic TRON. The game is simple: avoid running into walls,
your own tail, and that of your opponent.
