I'm playing A legionnarie's life, that text-based game about being a Roman soldier in the 2nd Punic war. Pretty fun actually despite the minimalistic presentation, although it probably has limited staying power.
My first four characters died quite early, but now with the fifth I've gotten beyond Hannibal's defeat and am now fighting in Greece, which must be close to the end of the game. Even got a civic crown for single-handedly defeating five enemies and saving a fellow soldier from them. I'm now a centurio prior. I didn't do most of the special fights, because I wanted to get as far as possible with this character (and this game's got permadeath after all), but a fairly decent run so far.
