Killbots is a simple game of evading killer robots. Who created
the robots and why they have been programmed to destroy, no one
knows. All that is known is that the robots are numerous and their
sole objective is to destroy you. Fortunately for you, their creator
has focused on quantity rather than quality and as a result the
robots are severely lacking in intelligence. Your superior wit and
a fancy teleportation device are your only weapons against the
never- ending stream of mindless automatons.
Phalanx is a chess playing program. Phalanx is xboard compatible.
Running with xboard: 'xboard -fcp phalanx'. Note that permanent
brain (pondering) is off by default. Newer versions of xboard set
it on with the 'hard' command. If this does not work, try 'xboard
-fcp "phalanx -p+"' or (for <4.0.0 versions of xboard) change your
initString (see Xboard documentation for details). It's better to
stop permanent brain in both programs, when playing Phalanx against
another program on a machine with one CPU.
It's also possible to run phalanx without xboard. Do "phalanx -h"
to get a list of command line options. One important command of
phalanx's ASCII interface is "help".

Project: Starfighter is an old school 2D shoot 'em up. In the game you take on
the role of a rebel pilot called Chris, who is attempting to overthrow a
military corporation called Weapco. Weapco has seized control of the known
universe and currently rules it with an iron fist. Chris can no longer stand
back and watch as millions of people suffer and die. He steals an experimental
craft known as "Firefly" and begins his mission to fight his way to Sol,
freeing key systems along the way. The game opens with Chris attempting to
escape a Weapco patrol that has intercepted him.
ThudBoard - The Discworld Boardgame Board
ThudBoard is a computer application that can be used to play Thud battles
without using the actual board. If you don't have a clue what this Thud thing
is, take a look at the official Thud site at http://www.thudgame.com.
Multiple battles can be stored, so you can play many games simultaneously
without the onerous task of remembering where each individual piece was in
this battle you have been playing with your cousin in XXXX over the last
few years.
WHAT IS TKSOL
-------------
TkSol is a version of the card game solitaire written with the Tcl/Tk
language. A color monitor is highly recommended, especially if you want
to get addicted to the game, as trying to see which card is black and
which is red under monochrome can be rather eye soring :(. TkSol comes
with a set of cardfront [faceup card] bitmaps created by Joseph L.
Traub (see cardbitmaps/copyright.h). An initial set of cardback
[facedown card] bitmaps was hacked up by James da Silva

Wargus is a Warcraft 2 mod that allows you to play Warcraft 2 with the
Stratagus engine, as opposed to playing it with the original Warcraft 2
one.
You will need a legal copy of Warcraft 2 (original DOS version required,
won't work with the Battle.net Edition) since Wargus doesn't come with
any graphics or sounds itself.
Since Wargus uses a different engine, not all things will work the same
as they did in the original game. If you want an absolutely unchanged
Warcraft 2 experience, you will still have to play the original.
