More games than you can shake a stick at...

Finding this book was quite a pleasant surprise. It's one of the only collections out there for Unix admins who want to have fun with their workstations.The book consists of detailed instructions on how to play:Canfield, Chess, Colossal Cave Adventure, Flight Simulator, Go, Hearts, Klondike, Mahjongg, Reversi, and SpiderShe also includes the source code and precompiled binaries on the CD-ROM which comes with the book.It would have been nice if she'd included DOOM, but I suppose she only wanted "open-source" games.
