To play it over the Internet, you must buy a key. <p> All players playing on the server are present in the same map. A map consists largely of walls that will damage a craft's shield if they are flown into. A craft's shield is also damaged by weapons being fired at it and crashing into other craft. Once a player's shield is completely diminished, the craft is destroyed and the craft is respawned for the player somewhere else in the map in perfect condition. If the destruction of the craft was directly caused by another player, then that player gains a frag. If a player destroys their own craft, they lose a frag. When the match is over, the player with the most frags has won. Emergence 0.5.5 new Emergence

Well Tetris(R) probably isn't evil, but Bastet certainly is. >:-) <p> Bastet stands for "bastard tetris", and is a simple ncurses-based Tetris(R) clone for Linux and (in theory, I have never tested it) the BSDs. <p> Unlike normal Tetris(R), however, Bastet does not choose your next brick at random. Instead, it uses an algorithm designed to choose the worst brick possible. As you can imagine, playing Bastet can be a very frustrating experience! bastet 0.37 new bastet

Aklabeth is "Ultima 0". It consists of an overworld map and 3D dungeons, all done with line graphics (this was originally written for the Apple II) and bashing monsters and completing quests (usually involving killing something). It is quite basic but harmless fun. <p> This is a port of the original source code, so apart from dungeon layouts should be identical. Aklabeth 1.0 new Aklabeth
