Pipong is a simple clone of Pong game, the classic table tennis video game. It doesnt have much to offer, but it definitely is playable.
(thats a blinking cursor)
It needs a terminal size of 100x40 and two players, using ef and ok to move the paddles, but it feels more like left hand vs. right hand by the locations of the keys.

GNUSki is a SkiFree clone, which was made by Chris Pirih with Microsoft in 1991 for Windows and included in Best of Windows Entertainment Pack. Actually a clone of Ski for VAX/VMS, or at least, inspired by it, which in turn was inspired by Skiing (1920) for Atari 2600 console.
Click to ski longer
Using hjkl or arrow keys to play, the up and down keys are for changing speed. It only has one goal, ski as far down as you can, either to the left or to the right, just dont hit the rock.
The project is marked as inactive as of now on SourceForge, and eight years without any updates, the snow has melted, no more skiing.
GNUSki was created by Rudolf Olah on 2005-07-01 in C with ncurses under the GPLv2, currently version 0.3 (2007-05-31).
asciijump is really a tiny little fun game, that you can play alone or with friends on same computer or across network.
It has three play modes, World Cup, Training, and network games. In World Cup, it has players like Erykah Badu, Charlie Parker, Thom York, and Bjrök, all musicians that I do not understand. Ten hills to choose from, Poland, Pakistan, Ukarine, England, Tarnica, Czumulungma (Mount Everest), Finland, and Be Free!.
I always crashed when I first played, finally I realized you need to hit Enter just before landing to perform a telemark landing, whatever that really is. Not just Left and Right to adjust after the jump.
The graphics is really stunning, the hill looks nice and its snowing in background, even the players have different outfits.
