game whose object is to be the first team to score 500 points by

NeXTGo is the classic Go game originally written for the OPENSTEP/Mach
environment.
Nighthawk is a shoot-'em up which requires thinking more than
reflexes. Your goal is to destroy droids occupying a fleet of
reclaimed starships. You start out as a 002 Paradroid with very poor
firepower and shielding but have the ability to transfer your programs
over to a new droid, effectively taking it over. As you take control
of bigger and better droids, you gain better firepower and shielding.
Free Tennis is a tennis simulation. The most notable features of Free Tennis
are:
- Real tactics are useful in the game. For example, it is best to take the net
with a slow, low shot (backspin); it is best to play diagonal when you are
decentered horizontally, in order not to give angles; you should get back to
center and behind the baseline after the shot, in order not to be caught in
No-Man's-Land when the opponent hits
- The A.I. is very advanced and reflects those tactics;
- You have total control over the parabola described by the shot;
- The graphic gestures are realistic and elegant;
- Different players have different skills;
- The game is developed by a former tennis player;
This Nehahra engine is basically a bug-fixed version of the released 2.54
source. It has also most of the fixes/features of the Enhanced GLQuake
version. The engine can be used for both watching the "Seal of Nehahra" movie
and for playing the actual game.
noeGNUd is an alternate ascii/2D/3D User-Interface for the roguelike
RPG "Nethack" and its Variants. Its difference to many other Interfaces
lies in the utilisation of OpenGL to display the whole game. You can
rotate the scenery as much as you like. It provides dynamic lightning
and an outstanding 3D-Mode.
This port installs the noeGNUd data files.
Netrek is a multiplayer (up to 16 players) network space battle/conquest
game, with a Star Trek theme. Players can command one of several ship
types (Federation/Romulan/Klingon/Orion) and can band up in teams. The
object of the game is, basically, to control the Universe, by capturing
enemy planets, killing the enemy, etc.
NOTE: This is the "BRMH" client. It is optimized for speed, and so is
well suited to you if you have a slowish system. However, you don't get
any of the fancy extras, like colors, sound, etc.
NOTE 2: This client is distributed in binary form, because it is a
"Blessed" client, meaning that it has been approved by the "Gods of Netrek"
and has had an RSA key embedded in it. You can, of course, compile your
own client if you wish, but keep in mind that, if you do so, your client
will be "Un-Blessed" and will probably be kicked out of the official
servers. This is to prevent some unscrupulous player from hacking his/her
client to give him/her superhuman powers ("cyborgs", or "borgs").
NuclearChess is a chess variant. Whenever a piece is captured, both
pieces and all pieces on neighbour fields die. Games are short and fun
even for people who usually don't play chess.
omega is a complex rogue-style game of dungeon exploration. Unlike
other such games, there are a number of ways to "win", depending on
various actions taken during play. The ways you can get your name on
the hiscore board include becoming the highest ranked head of a guild,
sect, college, etc., as well as gaining the most points figured from
possessions and experience. The game (via the oracle) may impose some
structure on your exploration, but you need not follow all of the
oracle's advice. There *is* a "total winner" status, by the way.
omega offers a richness of playing detail that goes beyond a simple
game like rogue. However, the majority of gameplay is very similar to
rogue, hack, ultrarogue, larn, and other such games. The player is
represented by the highlighted "@" symbol, objects and terrain
features are represented by non-alphabetic symbols, monsters are
represented by the various upper and lower case letters, and other
humans are represented by a non-highlighted "@". It is recommended
that the novice read the man pages for rogue or some other such game
and perhaps play a few games before playing omega.
