Nethack. Slash. LARN. Rogue. Moria. Basically, all of the roguelikes are
curses based.

(there are hundreds more - these are the fellows I play regularly).

Subject:[newbie] terminal games?

Does anyone know of any action games that are done in the console
(probably 
using ncurses)? I mean games that use text characters to produce all
the 
graphics, you could run the game without X installed at all.

I keep downloading games that claim to be console games, compiling
them, 
then running them and they pop up in kde as a graphical game.
Getting 
frustrating :)

 Not sure if it uses ncurses, but Star Trek is really cool.  And there's

Thanks, nibble (the snake game) was what I needed. It dawned on me to stop 
searching for linux terminal games and search for ncurses games. That did 
the trick.
