Slackware was very install to install if your hardware supported it, and it offered the very-nice-but-kind-of-tricky option for the UMSDOS (*) based installations, which basically meant having a directory LINUX in your DOS partition, and starting Linux with loadlin.exe
... and Slackware came with the bsdgames text based game set, like ... hangman.
Also available in Ubuntu, try : apt-cache search bsdgames
