Also I'd like to suggest that people search 'kenta cho' in their package manager right now. He made an awesome set of shooters playing with general established game mechanics on occasion. A special mention to:

Titanion
Gunroar
Torus Trooper

Oh and the first two work pretty well on a netbook. Check 'em out!

Yeah, i play that all the time! That said in Gunroar you control a boat (bit different), and I love the mouse controls.

Thanks all for the suggestions.  I'm now playing Kobo Deluxe & Frozen Bubble (very silly game!)

Re: #! game?

There's a z-code text adventure interpreter called Gargoyle; it works pretty well with most interactive fiction formats and is a dead-simple command line process to get it working.

Other than that:

NetHack
X-Com (dosbox)

Fortune favors the bold.
