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 would you count single player games commonly played via connecting to a shared server over ssh/telnet for shared scoreboards/watching each other's games/etc.? if so, nethack and other rogue-like servers (forex nethack.alt.org)

@srn Yeah!

I'm less interested in global high scores than I am in actual multiplayer, but I'll certainly add the games with global high scores to the arcade.
