Hi! I'm looking for examples of mainframe games.

(That is, multiplayer games that are played by the users of a shared server over ssh/telnet.)

Linux BBS games would also work, I guess. Games can be turn based or real time.

MUDs fall in to this box, as do a few games in the bsd-games package.

Whatcha got?

(Half hoping for sundog to blow my mind with something here.)

There used to be *many* games like this for Plato systems and very early unix systems, but it looks like most of them are not working on modern systems, or are just not great to play.

@ajroach42 a related question, are there any MUDs that ship ready to play?
