Xpertmud is an extensible perl scriptable MUD client. Basically it's just a scriptable telnet, but most people would use it for mudding. It supports multiple windows (which are perl-scriptable, yeah), and if you know perl you can do triggers, aliases, whatever you want for every bit of text that comes from or goes to the server will be processed by your perl script (or some standard perl script).

XU4 is a recreation of the classic computer game Ultima IV, a CRPG from the 80s.
The purpose of the project is to make it easy and convenient to play on modern operating systems. xu4 is primarily inspired by the much more ambitious project Exult. Linux is the primary development platform but it gets ported to Windows regularly and is rumored to work on Mac OS X, too.

Yohoho! Puzzle Pirates is an online game in which you play a Pirate character in an ocean world. Hundreds of your fellow player Pirates swarm these Isles and Sea-lanes. For Pirates who love acronyms, Puzzle Pirates is an massively multi-player online roleplaying game, or mmoarrrrpg.

Pirates can wander around on land and sail the thirty-seven seas with their crew. When your Pirate sails, or swordfights, or navigates, the appropriate Puzzle game is launched. Good Puzzling thereby brings victories and accrues great fortunes to you and your fellow Pirates.

Thus Yohoho! brings you Puzzling fun in a social Piratical setting, where every Puzzle game contributes to the greater story of your Pirate, her Crew, and the Ocean world.

It's a freeware computer role playing game based (loosely) on the books of J.R.R.Tolkien. You explore a very deep dungeon, kill monsters, try to equip yourself with the best weapons and armor you can find, and finally face Morgoth - "The Dark Enemy".

Angband has a very long history. It started 1990 as an improved and "Tolkienized" variant of Moria. Moria itself was created in 1985 and was inspired by Rogue (from the late 70s). Countless changes were introduced by many programmers on the way to the current versions of Angband.

ACM is a LAN-oriented, multiplayer aerial combat simulation. The main design objective was to provide source code that could be easily compiled and executed on a wide variety of platforms. To that end, acm is written entirely in C, exploiting the programming features of Unix, X11, and the BSD socket interface. A Windows/95 version is also available. Players engage in air to air combat against one another using heat seeking missiles and cannons. ACM is implemented as a distributed simulation. It communicates information via the IEEE Distributed Interactive Simulation protocol (IEEE 1278.1-1994). This should allow ACM to interoperate with other simulations that support that protocol.
