backgammon

teachgammon

Teaches you how to play backgammon. Useful, because I don't have a clue either.

dopewars

In this game, you play a drug dealer, travelling between New York's five boroughs. You make money by buying selling a plethora of mind-altering substances. It's all the fun of drug dealing without the legal repercussions!

nethack

NetHack is an Advanced Dungeons and Dragons simulator. (Read: NetHack is a game for when you have so few friends that you can't even muster up four people to pretend to be elves in some stupid dungeon). I like it though.

Players: gw is a fag

netris

Networked multiplayer version of tetris. You can play with anyone logged into RedBrick.

Players: lil_cain phaxx train

worm

A clone of the game "Snake" which was created in the 1970s but popularised by the Nokia 3210 mobile phone (especially in Irish secondary schools!)

wtf

Not really a game per se. Decodes acronyms.
