Mac OS X Easter Eggs

This isn't really a part of the Mac OS, it's a part of emacs which is part of the UNIX system. Most Mac users don't know this is included with their computer. There are many more games included as well. To know what other games are included, do the following:

Open the terminal again, at the prompt type:

"ls /usr/share/emacs/21.2/lisp/play"

Don't forget the space!

You'll get a directory of the games included with emacs,

to play these games do the same thing as with tetris,

except type your chosen game's name in place of tetris.

Special Requirements:

Mac OS X
