Hidden Games in OSX

Pretor

I recently got an ibook G4 and like any piece of new tech I get I like to "tinker" with it and find new things for it, so I stumbled onto this and I thought i'd share it with you guys

Theres a few games hidden in the terminal (/applications/utilities) of OSX,
To access them:
1. Type emacs
2. press ESC and holding it press x
3. Type the name of the game (The ones i found are tetris, pong, hanoi)

Enjoy...

Finally, OSX is a brilliant OS, now all I have to do is convert my Windows using friends, shouldnt be too hard - blue screen of death here, a system crash there and the ol' babemagnet argument

So you didn't just get this from eeggs.com then?
'Cause, like, everybody opens emacs and presses Escape and 'x'. :rolleyes:

Ahh.... no worries, my english aint the best sorry if I came across as that


Although I am trying to understand the UNIX part of OSX, seems complicated, anybody got any tips or links to good sites?

Hmm, not really. I'm getting a iMac in the new year, then I'll be a bit more clued up.
