bzflag is one of those timeless games, like nethack, xpilot, and even Doom now. People just keep playing and hacking them... for decades.

Did you play Battalion back in the day?

Not to mention xmrid, xbill, and there was a graphical nethack clone called crossfire that I liked to play.

I could never get Battalion to compile under Linux or AIX, but it’s been almost thirty years since I last tried.
