Markdown support is not anywhere as good as I'd like for my own personal workflow, and probably yours as well. You can import Markdown files into the Literature and Annotations map, but the automatic import detection seems to ignore them if the files have a .md extension. If the files have a .txt extension, they are picked up, but Docear does not do anything fancy with them (i.e., it doesn't turn the headings into part of the map.) Exporting a mind map has a wide variety of options, but Markdown is not one of them. The plain text export option is not Markdown like at all (but, if you want to do some editing work, that might be the best place for starting to create a paper in Markdown.) There are also a couple of wiki export types that generate plain text files, but those aren't Markdown either.

Not a game in itself, but Frotz (https://github.com/DavidGriffith/frotz) lets me play lots of Infocom-style text adventure games from The Interactive Fiction Archive (http://www.ifarchive.org/).
