I administer and operate a private IRC server for our company's
internal use.  I would like to set up some fun text-based games for
our employees.  These usually run as Eggdrop bots, or are C programs
which need to be compiled.  Examples would be MoxQuiz or Blitzed
Trivia.

Please find me a few other (a half dozen or so) IRC games that can be
installed on our server (or run on a separate server if need be). 
Please, not just trivia games.  I'm interested in sampling a variety
of chat entertainment like word games, text adventures, puzzles,
chatterbots, etc.

*Note, I am not looking for #irc-channels where I can play such games
as a client.  I am looking for the actual programs so that I can set
them up on our server.

Thanks!

Acrotsr is an IRC game where players are given an acronym. The players
have a certain amount of time to think of what the acronym should
stand for. Then the people in the channel vote for the one they like
most. #acrotsr on EFNet is a running example of acrotsr.

I was hoping for some programs that were beyond the planning or
initial development stage.  Many of those you listed are incomplete
projects.  Nonetheless, Using the search strategy you outlined, I was
able to find some more that seemd to fit the bill.  Thanks!
