"classic" games on BSD used to mean rogue, sail and dungeon/zork

I’m partial to hangman and hunt the wumpus as well. The trek game is ok, if a little tedious.

yea, killed a lot of time in hangman. wumpus somehow I didn't bond with. Sail, if you fought at least one battle (midway?) it had a typhoon in-game. oops. half your fleet gone!

Trek was fun, I'd worked on analogous games on CP/M hosts.

mostly, for me, it was the idea of having games which kept it fun. Even the manual pages had jokes. make love; cat 'tin of catfood' &c &c

It's almost like "classic" is a subjective term or something.
