And I was expecting an article about Dungeon Crawl. Blows everything else out of the water for many years now.

Also playable by ssh.

DCSS is a remarkable open source project. The game's design is focused and coherent, avoiding "feature creep". Yet the devs are open to community suggestions and stay on good terms with the players. I can't think of any other project that so well harnesses the creativity of random internet people.
