    An anonymous reader writes: "FootNotes is reporting about what might be the coolest thing since textmode Quake: a curses-based GTK-2.0 port called Cursed GTK. This not only makes it possible to give Gnome the look and feel of Contiki, but also brings many real opportunities, such as remote logins where X forwarding is not possible, or remote logins over very slow modem lines. Screenshots here, here, here and here! Patches for bugs are welcomed by the authors."

    Artemis writes: "Following the Quake 2 source code release under the GPL, here's the follow-up of the famous ttyquake, it's a text mode Quake II called aaquake2 which has just been released. Time for more 3d text mode gaming fun! The site includes screenshots for those of you who haven't seen Quake-turned-Text before."

    ScUmM_BoY writes "Someone had enough spare time to create Textmode Quake for Linux. It was the Link of the Day over at User Friedly, and the Web page includes some (blinding) screenshots. Keen!" I really don't know what to say. I am aghast. Update: 02/12 22:19 by michael : Okay, okay. So it was posted to Slashdot a year and half ago. It's still cool.

    bobz writes "Announcing Textmode Quake!
    From the README: "It's just what it sounds like. Rather than those trendy colored pixels that seem to be all rage with the kids these days, Textmode Quake uses plain text characters for its rendering. The graphics-challenged need not feel left out any longer. Play Quake at a text terminal, in an xterm, or over a telnet session! Good lord, the world just got a little better. " This is not a joke...well, it's not a lie. Quake really runs in textmode. Wheee! "     I'd like to thank the creators of this for giving me a reason for living.
