Here is a collection of rather simple ascii graphics arcade style games... mostly to just practice and show Perl's ability to create these types of games. I started to learn how to program when I was about 9 years old, and these are the types of games I wrote in Basic. Now, many years later I'm showing my kids how to do it in Perl.

And I'm making these available on SourceForge for anyone else who might find this helpful/useful/interesting.

Perl Defense Blaster
The strategy of the game is to move your Planetary Defense Blaster along the horizon and fire missiles at the incoming aliens decending from space. If they reach the ground points are lost.

I'm more than happy to get any help and ideas on where this project should go.

Perl Racer
The strategy of the game is to steer your race car down the winding paths, dodging the walls (as the roadmap scrolls upwards), picking up extra Gas, Flags, and Bumpers. Some paths could be dead ends, or more dangerous, but might contain more Gas tanks, or Flags to increase your score.

 Perl Arena
The goal of this game is to move your character around the arena and exterminate all the Mutants. The Mutants leave a trail of slime where ever they travel (which you can't cross). When two Mutants touch, they reproduce, and the new Mutant is born at one of their bases at the top of the screen, so, destroying those bases is a high priority. You are armed with a photon blaster (which also clears away slime) as well as mines and bombs which can be activated or deactivated.
