Flare (Free Libre Action Roleplaying Engine) is a simple game engine built to handle a very specific kind of game: single-player 2D action RPGs. Flare is not a reimplementation of an existing game or engine. It is a tribute to and exploration of the action RPG genre.

Rather than building a very abstract, robust game engine, the goal of this project is to build several real games and harvest an engine from the common, reusable code. This first game, in progress, is a fantasy dungeon crawl.

Dink Smallwood is an adventure/role-playing game, similar to classic Zelda, made by RTsoft. Besides twisted humor, it includes the actual game editor, allowing players to create hundreds of new adventures called Dink Modules or D-Mods for short.

GNU FreeDink is a new and portable version of the game engine, which runs the original game as well as its D-Mods, with close compatibility, under multiple platforms.

This package is a metapackage to install the game, its data and a front-end to manage game options and D-Mods.

KildClient is a MUD Client written with the GTK+ windowing toolkit. It supports many common features of other clients, such as triggers, gags, aliases, macros, timers, and much more. But its main feature is the built-in Perl interpreter. You can at any moment execute Perl statements and functions to do things much more powerful than simply sending text the mud. Perl statements can also be run, for example, as the action of a trigger, allowing you to do complex things. Some built-in functions of KildClient allow interaction with the world, such as sending commands to it.

KildClient's ANSI support is extensive: it supports not only the common 16 colors, but also support underlined text (singly and doubly), text in italics, text striked through, reverse video and "hidden" text. It also supports vt100's line-drawing characters, and xterm's escape sequences for a 256-color mode. All these features make KildClient one of the clients with the most features for displaying the mud output.

Kildclient supports the MCCP (Mud Client Compression Protocol) protocol, versions 1 and 2, to reduce the necessary bandwidth.

KildClient allows connection through SOCKS4/5 and HTTP proxy servers.

KildClient supports the GMCP (also called ATCP2) and MSDP protocols for out-of-band communications between server and client.

This package contains the main program. Install the kildclient-doc package to access the HTML manual.

OpenMW is a open-source openw-world RPG game engine that started off as an reimplementation of the Bethesda Game Studios game engine used by The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. The project scope has grown to wanting to support more games and allows, with the help of the editor, for developers and content creators to make their own games.

To play Morrowind, the "Data Files" are required from the original game.

OpenMW-CS is a content editor for OpenMW which gives full control of the game's content and the ability to create new content, games and mods.

While initially similar to Bethesda's "Construction Set" for Mororwind, it is now fully independent and can be used to create mods, games and other content that do not depend on Morrowind.

Super Lotsa Added Stuff Hack - Extended Magic (SLASH'EM) is a role-playing game where you control a single character. The interface and gameplay are similar in style to Rogue, ADOM, Angband and, of course, Nethack. You control the actions through the keyboard and view the world from an overhead perspective.

The problem: The Amulet of Yendor has been stolen. Not only that but it appears that the Wizard of Yendor (not a nice person), who took the amulet, is hiding in the Dungeons of Doom (not a friendly place).

This package contains the basic ASCII interface. For more fancy graphical interfaces see
