If you like Text games, check this out!

There are tuns of text games that are made for the Z-Machine.

You just need to install the Z-Machine emulator:
su -
password

yum install frotz -y

exit

Now go here and get some cool game files:

Advent.z5 is a cool game.
I also found hhgg.z3 which is the Hitch Hikers Guide to The Galaxy game.
I don't remember where I found that one though.

Just put the files where you want then:
Open a term:
cd /the directory where the file is
frotz ./file-name

and there you go.

Have fun

P.S.

If you want to create your own text adventures then try this out:
