How were you able to avoid GNU Chess eating up all of your CPU while thinking? That’s what always happens with me.

Talking about MUDs, TinyTIM at http://tim.org is a 19 years old MUSH (Multi-User Shared Hallucination) still running today. I connect to it with:

What about the Stone Soup branch of Dungeon Crawl? With the NetHack devteam not having put out anything in the last ten years, this group of people took in on themselves to improve one of its languishing competitors. It has themed branches, some of which contain runes, and you need three to head to the endgame. You pick your deities, unlike NetHack, and the devteam's very active. There'll be three new deities in the next version - all of them give you different abilities, and some are for challenge play, but none are worthless. You can even play it online at Akrasiac, and if you'd like a review first, I recommend John Harris' @play column, which is interesting in its own right. If you really want spoilers, there's a wiki, but I'd recommend using Henzell's DB. ^^

Turns out you’ve already covered that in your first post. Should’ve checked it before I hit “Submit”. My bad. :]

While not exactly console games, quake, quake2, unreal, and other games dependent on libsdl could run on an X-free pc using aalib. The graphics is nothing amazing, but they’re quite fun (that is till you go blind from staring at the gibberish covering the screen)
