https://osgameclones.com/ has an extensive list of opensource game clones. These are not all available on FreeBSD ports. Most of the games from https://www.maketecheasier.com/best-open-source-clones-of-great-old-games/ are in ports. A few screenshots of clones and similar games running on...

Discussion and screenshots about text gaming on FreeBSD. This is for games on the command-line or terminal interface. Many games are ascii and/or curses. Signify if the game uses an interpreter or emulator. Topic includes utilities or ASCII animations that aren't games, but are under the games...
