About Awesome Terminal Games
A curated, alphabetically sorted list of Unix ASCII and terminal games, published as a static website. Each entry gives the game's name, a short free-text description, a link to its main page, and where available a Wikipedia reference, a screencast link, or a server hostname where the game can be played over telnet or SSH. The list is maintained in a games.yaml file, and new games or corrections are submitted by editing that file and filing a pull request using a template with name, url, info, screencast and play fields.
