The diff to the ports/games revision 502690, according to the porters handbook.

"You wake up on a sunny August morning with birds singing, and the air fresh
and clear. However, your joints are stiff and you have not woken up in your
bedroom as you would have expected. Trying to recall what happened the night
before, you manage to piece together a few brief glimpses to give the following
account:"


This is the beginning of "The Pawn", a classic text adventure from Magnetic
Scrolls. Since I loved those games when I grew up, I created an interpreter
called "dMagnetic", to play it on modern hardware. It can also be used to play
"The Guild of Thieves", "Jinxter", "Fish!", "Myth", "Corruption" and
"Wonderland". The graphics are being rendered in glorious ANSI art, so that you
play them on the text console, as well as an xterm window.


Anyways, since I would also love to see more people playing those games, I took
the liberty of creating a port for FreeBSD. You can find the svn diff attached
to this mail, but you can also download the port directly from github:

The revision I checked out was the head revision 502690. (svn co
svn://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head/games/)

Please tell me if it has any chance of becoming part of your ports tree. It
would be wonderful.
