Are their any games that can be played within the shell itself? If so, what are they and how can they be installed and ran?

IHMO Adom is the best one you can run from the command line.

Tons of spells, item, quest, skills, mosters etc and quite realistic (for example you can freeze water and make yourself a bridge; your potions can explode when its to hot etc ). The bad part is the controls are hard to learn and it can get heavy on the CPU if there're to many mosters in one place (100-400 MHz pre game).

Runs on *nix and M$ (in dos window)

There are lots of mud games. Just search a bit.

Well, are there any integrated MUD games?

I`am hear something about "inspector" it`s police game,do u know about that? If is that true of corse

I made an official request that BSDgames be installed on infinity. BSDgames contains a whole bunch of classic UNIX games that can be played on the console.

see http://packages.debian.org/stable/games/bsdgames
for more info on the deb.

they haven't been installed yet.....

That's actually quite an awsome idea. I went browsing through the Adom game site and stumbled upon this video:

That's pretty impressive for a text-type game.
