This is all I need, I'm already trying to break my Larn addiction. (/s)

  I liked Larn (and Omega). I wasted many hours on Larn. Author didn't go into the fact that some of these games arrived with PCs; AFAIK there was never a Unix version of Larn.

    That’s not at all true. I played Larn on an Ultrix VAX 8600 circa 1987.
    • denton-scratch 3y ago
      My wrong. It was written for Unix. Well, I guess there's something funny with the license; it's not packaged for Debian, and I can't remember a time when it was.

        Larn has a noncommercial license, so it's nonfree by Debian standards.
        • denton-scratch 3y ago
          This appears to be the licence for Larn: https://github.com/primeau/Larn/blob/master/LICENSE https://github.com/primeau/Larn/blob/master/LICENSE That seems to be a normal MIT licence (without advertising clause). Debian packages loads of software under that licence. [Edit] That appears to be JS Larn, which is apparently derived from Larn and uLarn, but with an MIT licence replacing the original author's. You can't do that.

          I think Larn had a free clone called ularn.

    I thought larn was unix-only EDIT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larn_(video_game) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larn_(video_game) (I think I recall playing larn because it was one of the roguelikes available on unix)

      Back in the day, I played the Amiga port of Larn with little graphical tiles. Lots of fun. There was a graphical Amiga port of Hack too, but it was too buggy.

      Whatever you do, don't visit https://larn.org https://larn.org. You'll never get that time back
