Ncurses based games

I have a fetish for ncurses based games so I was pleased as punch to come upon myman, a neat little Pacman clone. I have found a few others searching the AUR games section for terms like console, terminal etc. but I was hoping I might have missed something and I could get help locating more. Here's my list so far:

bs - [extra] battleship clone
ascii-invaders - [aur] space invaders clone. good graphics, unchallenging gameplay.
ninvaders - [aur] another space invaders clone. less good looking, far more challenging.
asciijump - [aur] a ski jump game. no idea how to play this.
vitetris - [aur] not actually curses but apparently a vi script/macro/whatnot. a nice looking tetris clone, nevertheless.

I like the look of asciisec [aur] but although in all ascii graphics it's not curses based.

angband - [aur] Roguelike, can run under X or curses depending on how it's built. Most variants will also still run under curses.
bastet - [aur] Tetris that gives you the worst blocks possible.
