Awele Jean-Paul Berroir www www LSM Entry www Awele README 1.0 An African board game involving stones and holes. This is an implementation of an African board game reminiscent of Mancala. The board contains twelve holes, each containing some number of stones. The object is to capture your opponent's stones by moving stones around according to the rules. I found the interface to be a bit buggy. board free img on on off off off off 1998-09-01 bobz 1998-11-02 00:00:00 14 www <ul> <li>X11, color display (8 or 24 bits) <li>Tcl version 7.4 / Tk version 4.0 <li>ANSI-C compiler </ul> 2001-01-07 22:11:33 off
GJID Mike Sharov ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/sources/usr.games/gjid-1.0.lsm LSM Entry 1.0 A good strategy game similar to Sokoban. This is a strategy game for Linux console similar to Sokoban. You control a robot who must dispose of crates of nuclear waste by pushing them into recycling areas. The major difference from Sokoban is the presence of one-way passages through which you can only go in one direction. The levels are challenging. This is a good game. puzzle free on on on off off off 1998-09-01 bobz 1998-11-04 12:14:37 14 ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/sources/usr.games/gjid-1.0.tar.gz 2001-03-26 22:51:30 off

Sasteroids Brad Pitzel www Sasteroids README www Download Sasteroids binary (statically linked) 1.5 An asteroids game for the console. This asteroids game is one of the Linux console classics.

XBlockOut Thierry EXCOFFIER www ftp://ftp710.univ-lyon1.fr/pub/xbl/xbl-README Xbl README 1.1.2 A 3D tetris game. XBlockOut is a three-dimensional falling block game, like Tetris with one more dimension. Although the interface is a bit difficult to master at first (six degrees of freedom), part of the fun of this game is battling the frustration of trying to visualize the blocks from above before they hit the floor. arcade free img on on off off off off 1998-09-01 bobz 1998-11-02 20:16:04 14 ftp://ftp710.univ-lyon1.fr/pub/xbl/xbl-1.0k.tar.Z 2001-06-10 16:41:09 off
Cbzone ftp://ftp.x.org/R5contrib/cbzone-sound.tar.gz Download Cbzone with sound support 2.0c A faithful adaptation of the Battlezone arcade game. A wireframe tank game: kill the enemy tanks while dodging their salvos amongst a moonscape of pyramids and blocks. I mustn't be too good at these since I'm lucky if I can kill off the first two tanks before getting toasted myself. I guess it's a classic; I think it'd be better with joystick support. arcade free img on on off off off off 1998-09-01 bobz 1998-11-02 00:00:00 14 ftp://ftp.x.org/R5contrib/cbzone.tar.Z 2002-12-20 09:16:04 on
XTrojka Maarten Los www LSM Entry 1.2.3 Another variation on Tetris. Another falling blocks game where triplets of blocks arranged diagonally or horizontally (but not vertically!) get removed from the playing board.
