Is this a sign that I'm getting old ebcause I can remember when any
reasonable UNIX box had the standard assortment of games installed on
it, which were often distributed with the O.S. and found in the
printed man pages, like Wumpus, Adventure, Hangman, etc.? Such are
the problems of the Linuxization and SCOization of *NIX. What is the
world coming to? :-(
Of course, as I've said many times before, if you want to play the ultimate
text-only adventure game, play VAX/VMS - if you win, you get to play UNIX,
if you lose, you get stuck with some random Microsoft OS and an evil elf
appears out of nowhere, steals all your gold and suddenly the magic word,
XYZZY, no longer works. Now, what do you want to do?
