photopia. Download the version that's distributed as a .z5 file and play it with frotz.

I'll leave you to google those.

Okay, direct links:

Definitely nethack. And perhaps dwarffortress, though I find it a little bit confusing myself :L

pacman4console is cool. The problem of pacman4console is that it is too narrow the platform. Should be wider, i.e. geometry wider x height_ok

and for those that are using linux screen-less and with sight issues: festival
