Did you know that your OS X based Mac came with several 'hidden' games? They're actually Unix based games, however, I'm sure they'll keep you entertained just the same.

To play:
    1. Open Terminal (Located in Applications/Utilities/)
    2. Type 'ls /usr/share/emacs/21.2/lisp/play' this will show you what games are installed
    3. Type 'emacs' and press return
    4. Press Esc and and the 'x' key
    5. Type in the game you want to play

Among my favorites are pong, snake, tetris, and doctor (a shrink that will help answers all the questions you ask yourself). There's also dunnet, an old text based adventure game.

Give it whirl, and let me know you like it by sending my an email at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
