Though these linux console games would not offer high-end graphics or flexible controls, they do attract the geek with in you. Here is a list of some interesting console games (compiled from other forums and sites :P):
If you find any new game, do mention it in the comments.
- bastet : Also known as "Bastard Tetris", it will irritate you by not giving you the piece you desperately require to complete a bunch of lines. (My favourite)
- zangband : A role-playing game with a motive of surviving and completing quests. (I would say its the Skyrim on console)
- moon-buggy : Just need to make a buggy jump over craters.
- ninvaders : Destroy aliens with your spaceship. (But controls suck)
- greed : Clear the numbers on the board, with your moves being controlled by the same numbers.
- nethack
- empire
