Good question :-)

I was going back and forth about calling it "display-based", like e.g.
tetris(6) and snake(6) do, or "console-based", like e.g. games/bluemoon
does.  Since you can run the game in a xterm as well, which isn't the
same as a console IMO, I went for the first.  Of course there would be
options like calling it e.g. "curses-based" or "ascii-based" as well.

It seems that we already maintain a mix of all those terms ...
Or what would be your preference?
