Where Are the Games?
Hi!
I'm new to the site, and today I clicked on "Banking", curious as to what that was about. Aside from being able to "buy" things with these points, it appears there are some games available, on which you can wager your points. While I could access the "high scores", I could not find the location of the games themselves through a search, nor do I see a link anywhere.
It's probably right in front of my face, but would someone be kind enough to show me where to access these games? I'm hoping one of them is a craps game!
TIA!

DESCRIPTION
There are a few games in /bin/games:
4s, 5s Try to fill complete rows using 4-square or 5-square tiles. Move tiles left or right by moving the mouse. Rotate tiles with
buttons 1 and 3. Drop tiles for more points with button 2 or the space bar.
ana Find anagrams for words typed on standard input. Anagrams can contain several dictionary words. The fixwords argument or num-
bers typed on standard input fix the number of words in the output anagrams.
mandel Compute and display Mandelbrot sets. Menus on the mouse buttons control various things.
plumb Build a plumbing system. Keep ahead of the advancing oil and don't waste pipe. The level argument lets you start at a harder
level.
smiley A game of historical importance. Type space to shoot, comma to move left, and period to go right.
life Play the game of life, given an initial position. There is a library of interesting initial positions; the library is consulted
if startfile cannot be found.
fsim Pretend you're flying a Cessna.
clock, catclock
Display analog clocks. Option -c makes catclock crosseyed.
fireworks Hoist the fiery blue peter.
swar Space war for two players called MCI and SPRINT. One player types a or d to turn left or right, s to shoot, x to enter hyper-
space, and w to accelerate. The other player uses ;, l, . and o. AT&T scores whenever either ship shoots itself or otherwise
causes mayhem. Hyperspace is occasionally fatal.
festoon Traditional radical monoarchate qualitativeness. Now produces pictures (-p), tables (-t), and equations (-e). The seed can be
set to recreate a specific document. Len is sentence length, and pfn is percent faked nouns (default 0).
