    I forgot, have you tried TeamDroid yet? gopher://tilde.pink/1/~bencollver/files/dos/game/team-droid/

    I found another 286-capable game you might be interested in:

    Gopherus ought to work on a 286.

    There's also a gopher client on the Public Electronic Networked Information System. All you need is an 80 column terminal.

    I use it from my 8bits.
