xbattle is a concurrent multi-player game which combines elements of
strategy with arcade-like action to capture a wide range of military
scenarios. The game is based on X Windows, which you must have
installed to run xbattle. Opponents play from separate displays, with commands
being executed concurrently -- the players do not take "turns", but rather
they all issue their commands simultaneously. There can be any number of
players, with each player assigned to a specific team, indicated by
marker colors. The game board is a matrix of cells (square, hexes, etc.) that
can be occupied by colored troops, with the goal of the game being to
eliminate the enemy from the board by attacking cells occupied by enemy
troops. A wide variety of command line options (and previously configured game
files) provide an abundance of different scenarios and gaming environments.

XZip is a clean X Windows interface to games written in Infocom's Z-code
game format. It handles Z-code versions 1 through 5 and version 8. It is
free (yee-ha!)
developed at CMU. Really, I would have preferred to actually do this in
ATK... except that then you'd need ATK to run it, and that's 50 megabytes
of source code. (Honest.) So I just did an imitation.
Z-code games are available at:
