We need another category, for interpreters, game engines, maybe game servers, game server queries, and other utilities that aren't the whole game, or that require the original game. Perhaps, games-utils. dMagetic requires an original game, as does scummvm for many popular games.
The games category is crowded, and it makes sense to have a full category for games-text. Let games-text be a secondary category for game components that are also mainly game utilities. Eventually games-utils will need a full category of its own. These directly below are for starting on games-utils, not games-text. % psearch -c games interpreter dMagnetic Magnetic Scrolls Interpreter easyrpg-player RPG Maker 2000/2003 and EasyRPG games interpreter frotz Infocom Z-machine games interpreter instead Simple Text Adventure, The Interpreter jzip Text-mode Infocom game interpreter ponscripter-sekai NScripter-like novel-game interpreter with Unicode support sarien Sierra AGI games interpreter scare ADRIFT-compatible interactive games interpreter scummvm Interpreter for several adventure games tads TADS compiler/interpreter for interactive fiction xinfocom Infocom game interpreter for X11 xzip Infocom game interpreter that runs under X11 zoom Z-Interpreter for X with full V6 support games/freera requires the original cd.
