Hi everyone,

I'm not a big gamer, I used to love my amiga games as a kid, lemmings, Settlers, Cannon Fodder & as I grew up I got my new PC games, Heroes Og might and Magic II & III, warlords III.

I've also always loved the mythical world of Dragons, Elves and Orcs (yes I have read LOTR and the Hobbit and loved them both, the movies were pretty cool too).

I'm also a fan of the turn based games & never a big graphics fan either so when I saw this artical about an open source adventure game with Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, and even tree people at http://en.wikinews.org I just had to try it out.

It rocks! it's a great game and a great idea, open source games were the users can contribute and the game evolves with user idea's. The central philosophy of Battle for Wesnoth development is the KISS principle; for a new idea to be accepted, it should not complicate gameplay. I think thats great! the game works so well and i've got to admit, i'm hooked! I just spent all weekend playing it, it's the first computer game i've played in years.

check it out everyone!

Yes Wesnoth rocks. Have you played it online against others? That's how you find out you really didn't know how to play worth crap. First time I played online I lost like 10 games in a row. And that was after a whole month of playing and beating several campaigns.

Cool thing is it runs on Linux and windows.

I haven’t tried it on-line yet and no doubt I’d lose and probably lose bad! I’ve only been playing it for a weekend. Does anyone know of any other open source games adventure games like Battle for Wesnoth?
