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?

@ajroach42 i played on MUCKs for years (essentially social/freeform MUDs that lack the npc monsters running around for players to kill - most were combinations of chat and freeform roleplay). and i remember a game called tsar wars that involved flying around in space and buying/selling resources - might have been a tradewars clone?
