I just remembered another one called Hunt the Wumpus. From Wikipedia:
"A version in C, written in November 1973 by Ken Thompson, creator of
the Unix operating system, was released in 1974; a later C version can
still be found in the bsdgames package on modern BSD and Linux
operating systems."

Hello,
Source code has been published of some early games.
Were those games playable on Unix machines at the time? What was your favourite game?

Ken Thompson has made a number of significant contributions to
computer chess, but I'm not familiar with chess programs that ran on
early Unix. The earliest and most influential game that originated on
Unix was probably rogue, which was included in 4.2 BSD. Another early
and influential game was Colossal Cave Adventure, but that didn't run
on Unix, AFAIK.
