A downloadable game for macOS

Termzogs is heavily influenced by the excellent ZX81 Classic game Mazogs, by Don Priestley. I should be clear, this is not a port of Mazogs, it is a much poorer game inspired by a masterpiece. I encourage you to give Mazogs a play on a ZX81 emulator or, even better, a real ZX81.

Termzogs runs in in the Mac, Linux or Windows line command line terminal. It was created as an experiment to see if a game could be created in such a limited environment. It uses only standard characters and basic keybaord input streams, so it should work just fine on a text only server over ssh.
