games in 4BSD
Here is a list of the games in /usr/games on 4.1BSD.  All run
on vaxen with Berkeley Unix - most can be made to work on
other systems.

aardvark
       An adventure style game - pretty simple but a nontrivial
       example of a game written in DDL.
adventure
       The usual game.  This is the Rand translation, not the
       BTL translation.
aliens
       Also known as invade - a version of space invaders.
arithmetic
       number drill
backgammon
       while Berkeley has a screen oriented version, this seems
       to be the straight bell version.
banner
       High quality huge signs.
bcd
       straight v7
boggle
       the Parker Bros game.  Be humiliated by the computer.
chase
       avoid robots by leading them into electric fences.
chess
       straight v7, but runs on vax in compatibility mode.
ching
       straight v7.
cribbage
       you vs the computer.  not screen oriented.
doctor
       the eliza script.  runs in Franz Lisp.
fish
       v7.
fortune
       Many fortunes not in the Bell version.  Many are humorous.
       If you use the -o or -a flag, some offensive fortunes are
       possible.
hangman
       A screen oriented version.
mille
       Screen oriented version of French card game Mille Bourne

       Non-screen monopoly
number
       v7
quiz
       v7
rain
       crt hack - simulates raindrops on your screen
rogue
       The famous D&D game - screen oriented - halts almost
       all useful work.
snake
       CRT chase game - don't get eaten by the snake.
ssssss
       AI game that plays snake.  Boring.
trek
       Star trek - this is the Eric Allman version.  Very fancy
       command oriented quadrant/sector game.  Not screen oriented.
worm
       Eat money on the screen without running into your own tail,
       which grows longer and longe.
worms
       CRT hack - worms crawl all over your screen.
wump
       v7 wumpus.
zork
       The famous PDP-11 binary, running in compatibility mode on
