Show HN: Play nbsdgames to increase your brain (exclamation mark)

You want to game on your router because you paid for the whole CPU? You have a computing machine from 1980's and you wonder how you can use it? You have Plan9 dual-booted with OpenBSD and have kept the OpenBSD just for gaming? You are a bored sysadmin with no work, and need to kill time looking busy with terminal? You have to make a Reversi AI for your homework and you don't know where to copy it from? Did you come here thinking it is bsdgames? You are a European scientist?

Don't worry anymore as you've got nbsdgames now!

The difficulty and/or dimensions are adjustable through simple command line options, you can play a minesweeper game that take hours to complete, or exprience hexadecimal sudoku and 8x8 fifteen-like puzzles!

Or just enter "nbsdgames" at your terminal to get a fancy menu and play all sorts of games from there.

It's on almost every repo by now: Debian (and other DEBs), OpenSUSE (and other RPMs), AUR, Alpine, FreeBSD, NetBSD, DragonflyBSD, Minix, Homebrew (MacOSX) and more https://repology.org/project/nbsdgames/versions

Thanks to Elias Riedel GΓ₯rding, Zinjanthropus, GΓΌrkan Myczko, Robert Clausecker, Sam James, and so many other nice people for packaging.
