Hidden games in the Terminal!

Ok, this may be very useless, but is something a little bit funny, on a time when games seem to be state of the art on 3D, The Cupertino guys, gives you this olddies but goodies games! Enjoy them!

I'm publishing the easteregg as I fond it on the Internet:

1. Open the finder
2. Open Applications
3. Open Utilities
4. Open Terminal
5. type "emacs"; click enter
6. Press ESC + X at the same time
7. Type "tetris"
8. Play Tetris! Use the arrow keys to move and rotate the blocks, and press the space to make the blocks fall.

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.
