Somebody made an actual fucking fansite in 2023. Will wonders never cease?
A game to learn (or teach) how to use standard commands in a Unix shell.
Teaching first-year university students or high schoolers to use a Unix shell is not always the easiest or most entertaining of tasks. GameShell was devised as a tool to help students at the Université Savoie Mont Blanc to engage with a real shell, in a way that encourages learning while also having fun. The original idea, due to Rodolphe Lepigre, was to run a standard bash session with an appropriate configuration file that defined "missions" which would be "checked" in order to progress through the game.
Available in English, French and Italian.
GameShell should work on any standard Linux system, and also on macOS and BSD (but we have run fewer tests on the latter systems). On Debian or Ubuntu, the only dependencies (besides bash) are the gettext-base and awk packages (the latter is generally installed by default). Some missions have additional dependencies: these missions will be skipped if the dependencies are not met.
DOS homebrew scene.
Does it exist? Are there any new games for DOS?
Why we’ve got plenty of new titles for almost every old platform, but just few for good old DOS powered IBM PC? Let’s do something about it. Let’s collect DOS games from 21st century and encourage others to make a new ones.
Why would someone make game for DOS nowadays?
– Because it’s fun, if you are into that sort of thing ;)
– Because it’s retro, and retro is cool! (you know, like bowties…)
– Because thanks to DOSBox, you can run DOS programs almost anywhere – Windows, Linux, MacOS, smartphones, tablets, Raspberry Pi, you name it.
Game of Shrooms is a once a year world-wide art N seek event created by Attaboy. The next Game of Shrooms happens on June 10th, 2023. On that day, artists from all over the world hide their original mushroom-themed art works in public places then they give hints (often on social media) for others to find AND KEEP!
Game of Shrooms is like an Easter Egg Hunt for art and celebrates the spirit of unexpected surprises. Started in 2019 by Attaboy. Artists and gatherers from Hong Kong, Berlin, Japan, the UK, India, Russia, Switzerland, Tasmania, the US, and many more participated in the world-wide event, creating a world-wide non-religious, no cost, personally interactive “art show” of making and sharing, suspense and sometimes absolute freakin’ wonder.
Retro Con is a pop culture and memorabilia show catering to anything considered “retro”, especially the 80’s! Transformers, Star Wars, GI Joe, Ghostbusters, He-man, classic video games, etc.. We’ve got 275+ tables of collectibles and art for sale, special guests, video games, a costume contest, raffles, a trivia contest, panels, replica props, and much more!
Even seems affordable. Explicitly cosplay friendly.

Backdoor Route is a card-collecting deck-building rogue-like cyberpunk computer game developed in partnership with project:v. Abandoned in a colossal planet-ship traveling across the rifts of the multiverse, the survivors of a long-forgotten tragedy must venture through the ruins of a dead and hopeless world in search of the Fruits of Vanth while drifting towards what they believe to be their salvation. Play the role of one of these interdimensional immigrants in a game that closely follows the format of classic rogue-likes save for one particularity: your actions, your items, your skills, and even your character progression are all represented by cards you assemble in decks while you crawl, hack and slash your way through the world the Gods have left behind.

Null Signal Games is a games publisher operating as a registered nonprofit company. Our only current product is the expandable card game Netrunner, which we are continuing following the end of its support by its previous publisher, Fantasy Flight Games.
We do so primarily by creating brand new sets of original Netrunner cards. These are fully interoperable with FFG-era Android: Netrunner cards.
Our products include System Gateway, a new beginner set aiming to be a fully self-contained introductory experience, and our first two cycles, the Ashes Cycle, consisting of Downfall and Uprising, and the Borealis Cycle, consisting of Midnight Sun and the upcoming Parhelion. Our cards are translated into several languages, and are available to buy through print-on-demand services as well as a growing number of resellers. As we believe that Netrunner should be accessible to all, we also provide print-and-play PDFs of our cards for anyone to download for free or for a pay-as-you-feel donation. Home-printed proxies are fully accepted and tournament-legal in all Null Signal Games organized play events.
In addition to releasing new sets, we curate the existing card pool, both by rotating out older sets as new ones are released, as well as through active management of the competitive metagame through the use of bans or restrictions. Our Balance Team supports three competitive formats: Startup, which contains only Null Signal products, Standard, which has a larger card pool including the latter few FFG sets, and Eternal, which contains all Android: Netrunner and all Null Signal Games releases.
Null Signal Games also manages Netrunner organized play. We do this by creating prize kits for casual game nights as well as by managing the Netrunner competitive season, starting from local tournaments called Circuit Openers and progressing through National, Continental, and the World Championships. The lower tier tournaments are run by local tournament organizers, whom we support with prize kits, tournament management tools, and other resources, whereas Continental and World Championships are run by our Organized Play team.
Finally, our Rules team maintains the ever-evolving rules documents that make the game possible, as well as formatting the text of new cards to ensure clarity and lack of conflicts.
This workshop is for anyone who has ever felt nervous using Git. We’ll help you face your fears with this ‘choose your own adventure’ style game, where you will use Git commands to make choices and solve puzzles. Enter the Haunted Forest, explore the mysteries that lie within and see if you can survive the night!
To play this game you will need access to the Git CLI. In general in this game git branches refer to locations, and commits refer to things that have happened in the past so the commit history of a branch will tell the story of what happened in a certain place. Files represent something in the environment that can be interacted with in some way e.g. a tree or a building.

Requires busybox 1.35.0 or later (crashes on 1.34, for some reason), bash, gnu grep, gnu sed and nmap-ncat. Grep was actually only used once, so maybe I could make it work with the bb one?
HACKERS is a print-and-play card game for 4 (or 3 in a pinch) players.
Until such time as someone DMCAs my ass you can purchase nice printed copies of the game from The Game Crafter: https://www.thegamecrafter.com/games/hackers1
The main goal of this project is to archive pristine versions of original Commodore 64 software, including copy protection. A secondary goal and benefit of this will be to catalog and document all the different copy protection methods used. This information will be used to improve emulation, as well as allow remastering of the software onto new disks for you to enjoy on the real thing.

Conformal Decals adds a set of decal stickers to the game Kerbal Space Program (KSP), as well as providing a framework for creating your own decals which conform to the surface of the parts they are attached to.
This means that you can do other stuff with them, like make your own stickers and icons and suchlike. Especially interesting because it has the Semiotic Icons that were used in Alien.

This is a list of small, free, or experimental tools that might be useful in building your game / website / interactive project. Although I’ve included ‘standards’, this list has a focus on artful tools and toys that are as fun to use as they are functional.
The goal of this list is to enable making entirely outside of closed production ecosystems or walled software gardens.
