Open Source Games
« on: 20 February 2006, 00:40 »
I thought it would be nice to have a thread for some  nifty open source games.

Here's one that looks pretty fun... my computer doesn't have the power to run it though :(

a poem by my computer, Macintosh Vigilante
Macintosh amends a damned around the requested typewriter. Macintosh urges a scarce design. Macintosh postulates an autobiography. Macintosh tolls the solo variant. Why does a winter audience delay macintosh? The maker tosses macintosh. Beneath female suffers a double scum. How will a rat cube the heavier cricket? Macintosh calls a method. Can macintosh nest opposite the headache? Macintosh ties the wrong fairy. When can macintosh stem the land gang? Female aborts underneath macintosh. Inside macintosh waffles female. Next to macintosh worries a well.

Yeah, I remember that one.. but it wasn't what I'm trying to get about here.

There were a few games like Chromium BSU posted, but most of it was just a big discussion on the general state of open source games.

I'd rather see a thread of specific title posts and links, with the philosophy cut the hell out.

Planeshift wasn't much when I tried it a year ago.
However, it's open source, so it must be heavily improved by now. I'll check it out again.

I tried planeshift at some point, but some error kept it from working ... the screenshots look good though, maybe I'll try again.

Tremulous has released a standalone not requiring Quake 3 to run anymore. So everyone can run it.

http://tremulous.net/index.php?section=files

make sure you read the manual before playing, it's important, really it is.

I'm liking Metal Blob Solid, SuperTux(Mario ripoff), StarFighter right now, I installed an ass load of game onto my ubuntu box, haven't tried them all yet. Metal Blob reminds me of the old Duke Nukem games I had for the old 286 - 486 and all, fun 2D shit. I my day we didn't have 3 diementions and we did just fine damnit lol

No need to read the manual, I've played Natural Selection before.
