Playing GAMES on Athena
Athena does not officially support games. However, a number of
individuals have contributed games to the games locker. To get a list
of games, just type:
add games
then:
ls /mit/games/$bindir
to get a list of the games available.
To play a game that you find, just type the name of the game, after
you've done the "add games". You can also see whatever documentation
that is available about a game by typing man gamename after you've typed
the "add" command.
You can also find some games in the "softbone" locker -- you can access
them the same way as the ones in the "games" locker.
WARNING! Athena cannot be responsible for any trouble you have as a
result of playing games. You play completely at your own risk. OLC
will not be able to give you directions for playing games.
You may report bugs, though, to "bug-games".
Finally, please be courteous to other users. If another student wishes
to work at a workstation, and you are playing games, please yield your
workstation to him or her.
Thanks, and have fun.
