Amazing Retro Games For Linux Shell

If you like the 80s, you will love this list

This article lists some games that run on the Linux command line. If you lived in the 80s or want to know what early games used to look like, I encourage you to read it.

Nowadays, the games are mainly graphics, but in the 80s, they were simple and with few colors. But, for me, they had magic that I have never felt again.

I hope you like them and that if you did not live in that time, you feel the same as I felt the first time I played them, and if you have already played them, you can relive those moments.

Let's start!

Ascii Patrol

Ascii Patrol is an ASCII game. It is mainly inspired by "Moon Patrol," a 1982 arcade video game developed and released by Irem. The game is straightforward but highly addictive.

To install and play it, run the following commands in the command line:

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install snapd
$ sudo snap install ascii-patrol
$ ascii-patrol
