1     Introduction

I use this document to help organize my thoughts, files, and links
on how to play games on OpenBSD. It helps me to remember what
I have gone through while finding new games.
   The biggest reason to read or at least skim this document is
because how can you search for something you do not know exists?
I will show you ways to play games, what free and non-free games
are available, and give links to help you get started on downloading
them. While the target audience is OpenBSD users it’s possible
those of you using other Unix-like systems will see this. I make
no comparisons or write about other operating systems outside of
emulating them on OpenBSD.
   I decided to focus on ways to play games instead of details such
as working around bugs and hardware support. That information
would not only be out-of-date quickly, but harmful advice later.
   If you have questions about hardware support check the OpenBSD
manuals https://man.openbsd.org/ and mailing lists https:
//www.openbsd.org/mail.html. Bugs should be reported to the
ports maintainers and software developers. Specifics about how
to run games, game engines, and emulators are in their manuals,
FAQs, Wikis, and ports documentation.
   OpenBSD users have high expectations in regards to accuracy
and depth at the same time possessing both broad and deep tech-
nical skills – in most cases far beyond my own. I hope what little I
have compiled is useful.

2     Ways to play the games

Playing games on OpenBSD can be both frustrating and rewarding.
I find solutions are sometimes brilliantly simple, but only after I
spend time reading through websites and documentation trying to
understand the underlying software, standards, and technology. For
me, it’s sometimes more about exploring OpenBSD than playing
the actual games. For you it will probably be about blasting aliens,
building cities, and the emotions from great stories.
    There are two major sources of playing games on OpenBSD.
Those are the built-in games in the base system from OpenBSD and
third-party software in ports. The base system refers to everything
included from an installation of OpenBSD. Even if you didn’t select
the games package during the installation there is still at least one
game hidden away and others accessible through other programs.
    Ports is the software repository for OpenBSD. Packages are the
binary distributions of ports. The ports FAQ and manual are both
good places to start at. Ports has readmes, extra documentation,
website URLs, and a software search.
    Packages are the preferred way for users to install software, but
not always an option. When using packages make sure to pay special
attention to pkg-readmes. There are more instructions specific to
getting a game to run on OpenBSD in them.
    If you aren’t completely confident about installing ports and
packages or are unsure about what any of that means stop here and
reread the ports documentation. Now let’s take a look at how you
can play games.

2.1    Base system
The base system refers to everything from an installation of OpenBSD.
Even if you didn’t select the games package during the installation
there is still at least one game hidden away and others accessible
through other programs.

BSD Games
BSD Games are a collection of terminal games and software toys
that can be installed during an install or upgrade of OpenBSD. They
existed before OpenBSD and now are significantly different than
the original versions. Only two programs need further explanations
than what the game manuals give. "pig" converts text into Pig Latin

while "wargames" is a simple launcher for other BSD Games. See
intro (6).

ddb
ddb is the kernel debugger included in OpenBSD. The only time
users will be forced to interact with it is when the system crashes.
ddb includes a version of "hangman" similar to the one from BSD
games. Unless you want to debug the OpenBSD kernel it is better
to play hangman from BSD Games.

telnet
OpenBSD includes a telnet client which can be used to play games
including MUDs, though MUD players will probably be better off
using a dedicated client from ports.

2.2    Ports/Editors
GNU Emacs
Emacs is absolutely full of features so it shouldn’t surprise anyone
that it includes several games and software toys called amusements.
You can download more games as addons which are often clones of
popular games. The Emacs Wiki documents built-in and 3rd-party
games which are similar to the BSD Games collection.

LibreOffice
As an office suite LibreOffice can create several types of documents
one of which is a slideshow. Any program that allows making choices
interactively can at least have choice-based fiction games. Forgotten
Island makes use of that slideshow feature, but it is more of a proof
of concept than an actual game.

Vim
Several text editors are extensible including Vim. Its scripting
language called Vimscript has been used to create several games.
The Vim website has a games section with 3rd-party scripts.

2.3    Ports/Emulators
Only emulated systems that have at least one free game and one
emulator that works without non-free firmware are listed here. Em-

ulators that require installing an operating system on an emulated
disk are not listed.

Arcade emulation
Arcade emulation means MAME (or AdvanceMAME) which is an
acronym for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator because it is the only
arcade emulator in ports. MAME also emulates pinball and video
poker systems, though getting games for it is difficult. Publishers
rarely offered limited amounts of ROMs for sale in the past.
   Arcade games were designed to suck down quarters as much as
possible. I found playing with infinite credits is close to cheating. It
shows just how short some games are.
   With computer or game console emulation there a few controllers
and even fewer button layouts. With arcade games every system
can be a completely new layout.

Computer emulation
This section looks a little thin. That’s because computers usually
require firmware to run. Most emulators don’t distribute or emulate
it that firmware. Games for these systems shouldn’t require any
installation.

         Computer                      Years       Emulator

         Atari ST series             1985–1993     Hatari

         ZX Spectrum                 1982–1992     fuse

Game console emulation
There is so much to cover about every console. Each one of these
systems could fill a book by themselves. One real problem is I simply
don’t have enough experience with every single console to write
about them all.
   Another reason is why bother? Other websites such as Wikipedia
and Emulation General Wiki already do a good enough job detailing

the history and emulation of hundreds of consoles. Wikimedia has
hundreds if not thousands of photos of each system and their many
controllers as well.
   What is needed is only information specific to emulating the
countless consoles on OpenBSD. You can easily look up the console
and emulator, but this table is a quick reference to exactly which
emulators run on OpenBSD and which ones don’t require non-free
firmware.

Operating system emulation
The emulated operating systems listed here are live versions that
are run on an emulator. That makes them similar to a game con-
sole emulator requiring a ROM, except it needs an extra step of
accessing the games through menus. Operating systems requiring
an installation are excluded.
   DOSBox is a special case because it falls somewhere in between.
Some problems with including it are you need to know how DOS
works to install, configure, and make games work. That includes
knowing about and finding DOS programs that aren’t distributed
with the games. Anything that requires advanced knowledge of
other operating systems is outside the scope of this document.
   For the Fedora Games live CD called a spin, ReactOS, and Tem-
pleOS use the start menu or other top bar to find the games. They
are in fairly obvious places. None of them games or OS will require
setup or installation.
   The table is incomplete and the emulators may be too slow to
run the games at full speed.

2.4    Ports/Games
When looking at games I think most start in Ports/Games. It’s the
most obvious place they would be at. Games here span a wide range
of genres with varying degrees of quality or there are some gems
among the garbage. But the point of this document is there are
more games than what you can find in Ports/Games.

Game engines
Game engines need games, game data, or other files to run. Ports
sometimes includes games for them, but not always. Some of the
programs are game engine recreations, forks, or source ports.
    A note about Ren’Py. Games for it are often distributed as binaries
for Microsoft Windows, though sometimes the source and game
files are put in a compressed file. I was able to get both Windows
and Linux versions of games to work when all the files are exposed.
Unfortunately, as time passes the games made for older versions of
Ren’Py can stop working.

   I’m using the term game engine here liberally. Much of the
software below includes source ports and game and game engine
recreations. A second list is needed for software that support only
a small amount of games. Sometimes that number is just one.

Interactive fiction
Interactive fiction might as well be its own universe. They are some
of the oldest games out there and development continues today. I
would guess there are probably over 10,000 free IF games. The
ways to play IF includes interpreters, game engines, and virtual
machines so I lumped everything together.

It doesn’t seem possible at first that gnuplot could play games, yet
in the source code there are games. They can be found in the source
tree under demo/games/.

Gemini games
An old rule says you are allowed one exclamation per document.
I’m going to declare you are allowed one word with a cyber- prefix
per work. I’m going to use mine now.

   The Gemini protocol occupies a space between Gopher and HTTP.
The hypertext stars in the Gemini constellation are on the edge of
cyberspace (may I be forgiven). Just look around and you will find
some games.

Gopher games
Because Gopher is menu driven so are the games. They are similar
to BSD Games or other simple terminal programs where instead of
inputting commands and text you select a menu option by navigating
gopher links.

  Gopher clients list
  • cgo
  • Clic
  • Chromium (with addon)
  • Gopher+
  • Lynx
  • Mozilla Firefox (with addon)
  • SeaMonkey (with addon)
  • sacc
  • VF-1

Mozilla Thunderbird
Thunderbird is an email client with addons similar to Firefox. If you
click on addons from the hamburger menu you can find a Snake
clone. There was a version of Pong, but it only worked with old
versions of Thunderbird.

MUDs
Multi-user dungeons or MUDs are the precursor to massively multi-
player online games or MMOs and they could be described as text
based MMOs or multiplayer interactive fiction (IF). Ports includes
MUD clients, but not servers.

  MUD clients list
  • gMUDix
  • GNU Emacs

2.7    Ports/Shells
Bash
Bash is a popular shell especially in other operating systems besides
OpenBSD. While Bash isn’t an ideal language for game development
a few were made.

2.8    Ports/WWW
Browser games
Browser games are any game that runs in a browser. Any full-
featured browser should work. The more popular ones are Chromium
and Firefox, though there are few more in ports. While there is
a Java plugin called IcedTea-Web there are no plugins for Flash,
Silverlight, or Unity. Other game-enabling technologies include ev-
erything from JavaScript to WebGL to plain HTML for choice-based
fiction.

Mozilla Firefox extensions
The Mozilla add-ons website includes extensions, themes, language
packs, and so on. While typical extensions might block content,
convert websites to dark mode, or stop some browser fingerprinting
there are some unexpected games mixed in. Finding games through
CHAPTER 2. WAYS TO PLAY THE GAMES                               13

the add-ons website is difficult because the games and entertainment
section includes extensions other than games. Try searching for the
term "game" and see other extensions by the same developer.
3    Notable games

Besides exploring OpenBSD through ways to play there is the gam-
ing and computing history because most of what OpenBSD can run
and emulate are old games. Old can also mean classic, best ever
made, and great genres that are no longer commercially produced.
But this isn’t an invitation to look back fondly at the past. OpenBSD
also runs some impressive 3D games as you will find out soon.
    The game notability requirements are the same as Wikipedia. If
it has an article then it shows up here. Not every game that deserves
an article has one.
    I tested all the games and they at least worked at one point.
There were a few games that had articles, but I couldn’t get them
to work. Those games were excluded from the lists.

3.1    Free games
These games were free when I checked. It’s possible they are no
longer available for free when you read this.

3.2    Non-free games

Ports/Emulators (Computer)
Because computers are generally open platforms compared to game
consoles the developers typically didn’t use the term homebrew.
Try searching with terms such as shareware, freeware, and public
domain. Many old games were released directly into the public
domain decades ago. Watch out for demos disguised as shareware.
If you look for the other kind of demo – a scene demo you might also
find many of those sites host games as well.

5     Former ways to play games

Here is the graveyard of ways to play games no longer available on
OpenBSD. I doubt any will return soon if ever.

Blender Game Engine
Blender did more than make 3D models it also included a game
engine until 2018. When version 2.80 was released the game en-
gine was removed from Blender. Few games worked on OpenBSD
because they were not updated to the latest Blender API.

Firefox OS app store
Firefox OS was a short-lived mobile operating system. Until 2018
Firefox had a software repository called an app store where users
could install software including games. While it worked on OpenBSD
most of the games were ports of simple HTML5 games already online
for free.

Linux compatibility layer
OpenBSD included a Linux compatibility until version 6.0 was re-
leased in 2016. Even though I used OpenBSD when it was available
I never tried games on the compatibility layer, though I assume it
ran some Linux only games at the time.

Sega Saturn
The only emulator that did not require firmware was Yabause. It
didn’t work well and eventually stopped working on OpenBSD com-
pletely. Yabause was eventually removed from ports.

                               37
6     What next?

Once you are done here you may want to check out the OpenBSD
gaming forum on Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/openbsd_g
aming/ or the PlayOnBSD group on Steam https://steamcommu
nity.com/groups/playonbsd. For possible future ports look at
the OpenBSD work in progress ports https://github.com/jaspe
rla/openbsd-wip/tree/master/. If you have the money another
good OpenBSD gaming guide is the PlayOnBSD shopping guide
https://www.playonbsd.com/shopping_guide/.
    There are so ways to play games on OpenBSD I couldn’t possibly
list them all. There are plenty more games, game engines, live CDs,
and emulators still out there I don’t know about. Hopefully I made
you aware of some of those and gave you ideas about what to search
for next. As always there will be updates in the future so check back
later. Thanks for taking a look at my OpenBSD gaming resource.
