A modern text-based web browser in your terminal
Browsh is a small browser that you can run inside your terminal. If you don't want to install it locally, you can test is out by ssh'ing to it.
ssh brow.sh

The Donkey Kong title was probably one of the most popular in the series, selling more than a million units worldwide. The game was split over two screens and built into a distinctive clamshell casing.
