Hey, I don't know if your kids (or you) would be interested, but there's a few hacking games and what I'd consider educational games that they (or you!) might enjoy.

Just though I'd toss those your way. I also love text-based gaming, so I'll be trying out the MUDS you linked. I used to play many moons ago, and definitely miss that era of my life. Was also big into the BBS scene in those days as well. And of course, who doesn't love Nethack? Ahh, the memories.

Thank you for those links, I played around with the first two and they are well done. I hope you enjoy the muds, we have been using tt++ with a custom script to split up channel conversations from the main story line thread. tt++ is a nice, no frills extensible mud client. The main site has a list of scripts [1] that you can download to get some ideas from. The tabs script [2] demonstrates a nice way to organize inputs on your screen. Just make sure you have a compatible version installed.
