Old text games for Linux (not IF)

I just stumbled over these simple text games from 1970. They aren’t IF. They are available gratis, readily compiled for Linux.

Maybe someone enjoys these old games. Maybe not…

A classic. I still have the books somewhere :stuck_out_tongue: Typed a lot of those in by hand in the old days.

Very nice. I’m going to give it a try on my RPi.

I don’t know how you can run them on the RPi because the Pi has an ARM CPU and the old games are compiled for x86. And I don’t know which BASIC can compile or interprete them.

Interesting games. I played them in Telehack.

You are probably correct. I will see what I can do. (I promote the RPi due to its strong ability to provide computing power to students and just about anyone that might be interested.)
