Hi, Pshon.  Nice to see you on here.  I don't know of too many text
games and I, too am looking fore some.  The only two that come to
mind are Blackjack and Bigrig.  I think there is a monopoly game,
but I haven't gotten it yet.

    I am the sysop of a bbs in Virginia Beach, VA that specializes in 
disAbility type things.  I just started the board recently and was 
telling a friend that I only wanted "safe" games on my board.  The 
result was that last night she uploaded 11 text based games.  They 
should be all IBM compatible.  The names are PLANET.ZIP, ZORK.ZIP 
STAR.ZIP, MIND.ZIP, HITCH.ZIP, WITNESS.ZIP, WISH.ZIP, SORCERER.ZIP, 
DEADLINE.ZIP, BALLY.ZIP, and CUTHROAT.ZIP.  I have not had the time to 
check them out, but you are welcome to call the board and download them 
or if you have a someone who can FREQ them for you that is another 
possibility.  If you are interested you can reach my board HandiNet B B 
S at 804/496-3320 and for FREQing at 1:275/429.
