Free/Open Source Games

greenMonkey:
I was wondering if anyone here plays free/open source games.  Because Id open-sourced the Quake 3 engine, there has been a great proliferation of FOSS first person shooters based off the Q3 engine.  There are also some non-Q3 games which are great.

My favorite FOSS games are

Tremulous

Tremulous is a combination FPS/RTS based off of a modification of the Q3 engine.  It is multiplayer only.  You can play as human or alien.  As either race, the goal is to get kills and to eventually destroy the other teams spawns.  Very fun gameplay which relies a lot on teamwork and strategy.

Sauerbraten

I just discovered this today, and I have decided that it is awesome.  An old school run 'n gun FPS based on a branch of the Cube (another FOSS game) engine, it has fast, addictive gameplay in the vein of Quake 3 but with better graphics and interesting editing features.  Also has a simple single player option.  Better graphics than Tremulous.

Does anyone else play FOSS games?

Dimmukane:
Narbacular Drop
Cave Story
Grand Theft Auto (is now free at the Rockstar website).

A few, I guess.

The Cosmic Fool:
- Gunbound
- Rakion
- Gunz
- Freeciv (Useful if you're away from a commerical Civ at the moment)
- Little Fighter 2

I'm too lazy to post links, but those are all searchable in Google.

Desmonkey:
Wingnuts 1 for Mac.

it's on the Ambrosia Software website.

ScrambledGregs:
Their server is kind of terrible but, http://www.the-underdogs.info/ is a good site for free, open sourced games.

I will second, third, and fourth Cave Story. This is a labor of love free game that some Japanese guy made in his spare time. It's brilliant: sorta like a platformer/shooter in the vein of a Metroid.
