If you're running a proper Linux distro, for a blast from the past try typing "wump" at a shell prompt.

"You're in a cave with 20 rooms and 3 tunnels leading from each room. There are 3 bats and 3 pits scattered throughout the cave, and your quiver holds 5 custom super anti-evil Wumpus arrows. Good luck."

"man wump" for more. Likewise, "man trek". I run Slackware, I have no idea if any of the fanboi distros include the old BSD games ... Try "xman&" > Manual Page > Section (6) ... For the record, my nieces & nephews ::yawn:: at graphical games, but are fascinated by the old text-based games. Try 'em on your kids, you might be surprised ;-)
