Ask HN: Are there any multiplayer terminal console ascii games?

7 points by deytempo 7y ago ↗ HN

I am looking for an online game that can be played on the command line and preferably with other human players. Preferably it’s text based. If there isn’t one I’m considering writing one.

It's called a MUD.

To add, Multi-User Dungeons are games you can connect to via Telnet.

try 0verkill, or the classic bsd game, 'hunt'.

I have been playing this one (with some breaks) for two decades:

Check out BBS's. They have a plethora of multi-user games. Most BBS's have migrated to the Internet age and are accessible via telnet.
