Good terminal-only games
| Assuming by terminal you mean text and text prompt only, most Interactive Fiction still use text prompt. See ifdb.tads.org. Also ifcomp.org.
If you want an intro game to the genre, Adam Cadre's 9:05 and Photopia are great
| For multiplayer text only, give MUDs a try. They aren't as populated as they were in the 90s and the early 00s but people still play them.

I second this. Aardwolf MUD has been around since 1997 and people who logged in from that year still play. If it's terminal-only you're looking for, you can't get anything better than a classic text-based adventure like Aardwolf.
Hell even I still play from 2009. I started when I was 14 and now I'm 22, still play.

| If you're looking for a more modern text-based game (not strictly terminal but may as well label it so) try hackmud.
It's a multiplayer mud based around hacking and writing in-game scripts in a javascript-style syntax. Read rock paper shotgun's awesome review here - https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2016/09/27/hackmud-review/
| ADOM, Dwarf fortress, Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead and gearhead2 are all pretty neat
| Try dungeon crawl stone soup. If you go for a while it gets really fun. Just don't go being a fool because that will get you killed, and starting over and over isn't much fun.
| I think This thread is more appropriate in /v/ideo games , but who cares now.
| >>ed843c Well, if I understand correctly, there is no graphics (and, thus, /v/ideo) in terminal-based games :) But they are /tech/ ;)
