Giles is a telnet gaming experience, meant to provide a platform for playing various games both old and new with nothing more complicated than a decent telnet client.
Chances are pretty good that:
telnet ripley.thenexusproject.org 9435
will connect you to the current testing instance of Giles (unless it's down). You should also feel free to crank it up on your own.
The official Giles IRC channel is #giles on irc.freenode.net. Join us there!
