Wow, you provided Peter a good a challenge. ;-)

Btw. If you're into text-only stuff with colors, there are also
- "slsc" spreadsheet,
- "slrn" news reader,
- "mutt" mail reader,
- "mmail" BBS mail reader,
- "lynx" and "w3m" WWW-browsers,
- "midnight commander" file browser,
- "minicom" serial terminal,
- "funktracker" mod tracker,
- different text mode CD-players,
- "ccal" calender,
- "xaos" fractal zoomer,

and if somebody ports libaa or (newer) libcaca, even doom & quake & video 
players:

	http://caca.zoy.org/wiki/libcaca

(I've tried all of them in the 90's. :-))


Some of them may be Linux specific though (funktracker and CD-players
most likely are such).  "mutt" and text www-browsers are probably most
worthwhile.

I guess some of them are already in the sparemint archives?
