Description

This game could be added to the Emacs application, ostensibly referred to as a text editor, since its release. Since 1992 it comes with Emacs by default.

It can be played the the geekiest way by typing emacs -batch -l dunnet at the command-line. Also Newbies might use the key sequence M-x dunnet to start the game once Emacs is running.

Starting the game will send the user into a typical text-adventure gaming world. But,
Users will discover during the course of the game that it actually takes place inside a virtual representation of the inner workings of a UNIX system.
