Yes, a few. "purity-ng list" will show a list of possible files in the
current directory and in /usr/share/games/purity/. The old one simply
prints a hard-coded list.
It also has the option to print out a list of the questions and the
user's answers at the end.
Additionally, purity-ng has a maintainer. purity is orphaned, both
upstream and in Debian.
