The games that you can access range from some of the more well known games like Tetris and Pong to Dunnet (A simple text based adventure game). The hidden games area also has a built in Psychiatrist (Doctor) which is a version of the Eliza program created in the 1960's at MIT where you can have a simulated therapy session. The secret / hidden games are accessed through the Terminal command on your Mac and started by typing in the name of the game like pong or doctor. Some of the games / programs are very quirky and really don't make much sense but others are intriguing. 1: Open terminal 2: Type: emacs 3: Push: esc (Escape Key) 4: Push: x 5: Type the game name to play the game: e.g. pong, doctor, tetris, snake, solitaire, 5x5, animate, blackbox, cookie1, decipher, dissociate, dunnet, fortune, gamegrid, gametree, gomoku, handwrite, hanoi, landmark, life, meese, morse, mpuz, spook, study, yow and
