Star Wars in the terminal!
This was submitted to the main macosxhints site, but it's not really an OS X hint. But it's too funny to not publish somewhere, so the forums seemed like a good spot.
Open the Terminal, and type: Code:
telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl Completely irrelevant to anything productive, but still kind of fun! -rob. |

Do you know, did they do the whole thing? I've only sat through about 20 minutes or so of it.

That is truly awesome. Takes commitment and determination to preternatural levels.

Wow, a 5 year old thread arose from the grave...
The telnet thing still works, though.

I tried the game on 'emacs -batch -l dunnet' but i couldn't climb the tree, so i shook it, and a coconut hit me on the head and killed me. I scored 0 points. Anyone know where i can find cheats/tips? Anyone know hoe to play this game?
