+Tales of Middle Earth Multiplayer is a fantasy adventure game
+
+TomeNET is a multiplayer fantasy dungeon exploration game based on the works of
+J.R.R. Tolkien. It is a game that emphasizes intricate, challenging, and varied
+gameplay over graphics. Hundreds of different monsters in randomly-generated,
+unpredictable dungeons will strive to slay you by various means
+
+http://www.t-o-m-e.net
+
+The game is installed in /usr/share/games/tomenet, where the configuration
+files are. The SlackBuild links the clients (for playing) into /usr/games and
+the server and administration utilities into /usr/bin. Slackware already puts
+these places in your path, so you can type the name of the programs anywhere
+and run them. The clients are called:
+
+tomenet (for the X Window system. recommended)
+tomenet.console (for the linux console, but it may not have as many features
+such as windows to show other players.)
+
+The server and administration utliities are:
+
+tomenetd
+tomenetd.evilmeta (for joining the list of public servers)
+tomenetd.accedit (to edit user accounts.)
+
+Just type in the client name and it will give you a list of servers. If you
+want to run one, type tomenetd and--if you want it public--tomenetd.evilmeta.
+The tomenet.accedit will let you set what type of account (normal, Dungeon
+Master, admin) specific users get who connect.
