ZAngband is one of the many variants of the freeware rogue-like computer roleplaying game Angband.

The bulk of the game play involves finding power-ups and hidden areas and avoiding or squashing strange alien monsters bent on your destruction. There are a few hidden areas, and in several locations, the player will experience different levels based upon which path is chosen. There are no lives or continues in the game. If the player dies, he/she simply restarts at the beginning of the level. All creatures and power-ups are persistent in each level, in other words, if all but one enemy has been killed on a level when the player dies, there will only be that remaining creature as the player restarts.

Xskewb is a puzzle similar in nature to the famous Rubik's Cube. Its variations on the inspiration include using 5 blocks per side, including a large distinct diamond block, and optionally requiring correct block "orientation". This is similar to other puzzles such as the "Creative Puzzle Ball", "Meffert's Challenge", and Disney's "Mickey's Challenge". The original design was by Uwe Meffert ("Pyraminx Cube") and coined Skewb by Douglas Hofstadter. By building from the source and editing its Imakefile before the ``build'' phase, you may be able to use Motif or LessTif with this port.

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.

In xspacewarp the player maneuvers a Federation spaceship, called the Endever, through 81 sectors of space trying to destroy an Armada of enemy Jovian ships before they destroy the all the Federation bases. To accompish this task, the Endever has fasers, ion thrust engines, warpdrive for jumping between sectors, a limited number of photon torpedoes, and a finite store of energy which gets depleted during battles and must be replenished by docking with the bases. The game has no time limit and has a choice of 10 skill levels. xspacewarp also has an online orientation to explain the game in further detail.

Zoom is a Z-Machine, which means that it plays text adventure games written in ZCode. It plays V3-V8 including V6 graphics (you need the blb-files from http://www.ifarchive.org/indexes/if-archiveXinfocomXmediaXblorb.html for original Infocom V6 games).

Ztrack is a (very) simple curses-based pseudo-3D driving game. It supports colour with ncurses. It should also compile on most reasonably modern Unix boxes. You probably need a pretty fast terminal - console or xterm is easily enough.

Oolite is an independent interpretation and recreation of the classic game, Elite. Oolite is a space trading and combat game, with the dangers of pirates, police, bounty hunters, and various other hazards. The player's role is open ended: there is no set goal other than perhaps to reach the Elite combat rating, but the players may choose their own path through the universe. The game is expandable, and numerous expansion packs already exist. New ships and new missions are available for download. You can find the getting started page here: http://www.oolite.org/starting/
