WHERE THE FUCK IS DWARF FORTRESS
No longer in the terminal. It's been around so long it's evolved, and no longer totally cripples your pc when you generate a world.
afaik you can still run the free version from the website with TEXT mode and ncurses completely in the terminal without a DE (but you have to spoof X).
If not the newest one, then the last one (v47).

RetroArch works just fine from the command-line.
Lol these are for games the work in the terminal
Or
Does RetroArch now have a TUI‽ Because that would be genuinely cool if it did lmao
Several emulation programs do actually have a terminal renderer. Impossible to tell what's going on unless you're intimately familiar with the game, but it's neat to see.
It uses DRM/KMS to enable OpenGL (and probably Vulkan too) on the console without needing a display server like Xorg or Wayland. Or if that's too blasphemous for you, there is a libcaca driver.
