I'm CCing our "development" list because pkg-games-devel is more for bug reporting. You might be interested to know that we also ship another port of the Colossal Cave Adventure written in Python. [1] There is even a new virtual package "adventure" now which is intended to provide multiple versions of the game in the future. [2] Perhaps you want to get in contact with Ben Finney who is the maintainer of python-adventure (in CC). > Is there a *BSD* BSD Games maintainer upstream of the Debian packaging? Unfortunately our bsdgames source package is severely outdated. AFAIK the folks from netbsd.org are the actual maintainers of bsdgames but perhaps someone else on the list can clarify this information. Regards, Markus [1] https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/python-adventure [2] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=821859
