Are there any good command line incremental games?
I'm using Debian running Bash and I was wondering if there were any good command line games that you can play from a terminal.
Anyone know any?

If there were, it would be a wonderful thing. Perhaps for my next game...

I'm actually trying to replicate the command line in browser for a project, so I might end up making a game out of it.

Would Links/Lynx run on it? If yes...

Dwarf Fortress?
I believe there may be some easy forks or Rogue or ADOM, that you can play without raging.
Slightly out of the scope, but with correct ascii-svga driver you can play Quake 1/2 on terminal (albeit not through ssh, until you fancy 2fps).
Other than TicTacToe selection of games in text mode is very limited, some RPGs, tetris/columns/three implementations, things people wrote while learning ncurses and that's basically all.

Oh, you said "good". Nope, none of those.
I'd like to nominate you for the Command Line Incremental Game of the Year Award
Oh god I think I died a little inside.
Anything to make CodeGolf
Did you just make that off the top of your head lol?
Fastest game dev experience ever! But I need to add micro transactions before I publish it.
Also don't forget to sell it for $1,000 per playthrough.
it would be funny if it wasn't so true
