Hey Mike.
Unfortunately not sure why the speech in GUI isn't working on your end.
Maybe someone else has an answer for that.
In any case. Text adventure games. Wow yeah. A ton of them.
Stormux you probably would have to go to the AUR to find them. Not sure.
Debian and raspbian have packages for quite a few game programs.
My favorites are tintin or tinyfugue for mudding. Which opens up a door to
thousands of games to play.
Sadly a lot of those only have a few people on at any given time. But still.
Some gems out there like batmud, some like alter aeon, aardwolf, cosmic rage
and others.
Also there are several text adventure game interpreters. The ones off the top
of my head are jzip, zip, frotz, and I feel I am missing one or two.
I don't recall for sure but I think frotz is probably the best out of the
bunch. Minus the one I can't think of at this moment.
Anyway these will play zcode games. And I believe there is a tads interpreter
out there too that will play tads games.
If you want to be adventurous and if it works ok. You could install dosemu and
try adventure game toolkit out.
Anyway you can find a lot of games/etc to look at at ifarchive.org I can't
remember if there is a hyphen between f and a but its either.
ifarchive.org
or
if-archive.org
I always forget as I said. Not sure why lol.
In any case the zcode games are in the hundreds I think. And tads has a good
number too.
Dosemu at this point is strange. I couldn't get it working right on certain
things the last I played with it. But I think I got adventure game toolkit agt
to work somehow.
Also somewhere online out there. Someone put together a bunch of those old
games one used to play in school that worked on the apple 2 E or such. But
don't ask me where that is. I have no idea.
But if I recall that worked under the command line too I believe.
Hope this helps.
