Open Source Game of the Year
 

What's your favorite Open Source Game?

--jeremy

Wesnoth. It's better and better. And better.
But all of them are great games...

Nethack - the more I learn about it the more quality entertainment it brings.

Chess is about the only game I mostly play...

Ur Quan Masters would be my choice, but it's not on the poll.

I loved supertuxkart !

Wesnoth yesterday, Wesnoth today, Wesnoth forever. :Pengy:

Nice things around there but I don't know what happened between you and the Urban Terror developers Jeremy :D This is another year without one of the finest OpenSource games listed here.
By the way check out QuantZ for Linux, sorry for the propaganda, but it is the first game I did want to buy in a long time.

Could you add Glest / Megaglest please?


There it is - thanks

I had been wishing for a poker game for a long time. I got my wish with Pokerth.

Is World of Goo a candidate?
 

I guess you have to pay for the full version... very professional. Nice to have in the Linux world. My kids enjoy it.

Savage
 

Add this game "Savage" on poll.
What is Savage?
Savage is a Real Time Strategy Shooter (RTSS) that takes place on Earth millions of years from now, well after the fall of all known civilization. Working in a non-persistent online environment, Savage will combine all of the action that gamers expect from a first-person shooter and all of the challenge that real-time strategy fans demand.

My favorite of all times:
Urban Terror !

The Urban Terror site seems to disagree with you about it being Open Source, which makes it ineligible for this category:

If this is old or outdated data and Urban Terror is now Open Source, please include a link.

Would it be possible to add Neverball to this list? I find it to be a nice, simple, well-polished FOSS game. :)

MegaGlest has been added.

World of Goo and Savage are not Open Source.

Neverball has been added.

OpenTTD is a cool game. And it is now fully open source, including graphics and sound.

I actually tend to enjoy playing Scorched 3D every once in a while. I particularly like the way it has taken a classic DOS game and turned it into a (somewhat) modern 3D game.

Thanks for replying Jeremy. My bad for using the term "Open Source", I meant 100% free and GPLd as for the engine.

Check out point 2 in the listing (out much does it cost) and 4 (do I need Quake arena to play).

It is very well supported for Linux and I think BSDs fall into this category as well. Mods are possible. And even they have to conform to Frozensand's EULA, stating no commercial derivatives.

The engine is free as in freedom for anyone to fiddle with. Although the game itself is not fully floss, I'm grateful to them for supporting our *nixISH platforms. Your call, and thanks again for taking the time to reply no matter if you include it or not.

Cheers and best wishes.

Game engines are not eligible for this category.

PokerTH. An incredible program.

Open Tranport Tycoon Deluxe - true nostalgia for me.

OK skype is in, but UrT can't be???
WHY?

That's exactly what crossed my mind when I read that answer!

Anyway, I just have to say some words which make baby Jesus cry to find the delete account button at last.

I'm not sure where the connection between skype and UrT comes in.

--jeremy

Wesnoth rocks

Please add RTCW: Enemy Territory to pool!

That is not an open source game.

Where's 0 A.D.? I know it is in simple alpha stage, but it has to be my favorite game ever I play in spare moments... :)

I'm stuck between Wesnoth and Oolite... Since Oolite isn't in the poll, I pick Wesnoth.

Following article is from Splash Damage web site:
Link to the full article

They have open sourced the game engine, not the content of the game, so the game itself is not open source, the graphics, sounds, and whatnot are still copyrighted. You can download the game for free and use it, but you are not allowed to make use of the content of the game for other purposes, like a real open source game would allow.

Sorry, my mistake. Please for give me that, but I'm newbie in Open Source world

No problem, no one can know everything.

Skype is not foss.
UrT is not foss.

Skype is in the "Messaging App of the Year" category, where this is no requirement to be Open Source. This is "Open Source Game of the Year".

Voted for Nexuiz. The only game i play besides urban terror :)

Wesnoth
 

Wesnoth all the way baby. I'm adicted.

I give up!
:)
tremulous

I don't really play games, but I'd like to in future :D
So I did not vote.

Tux Racer for me hehe :)

Where is Urban Terrror?
That is my favorite by far.

Edit: Oops Didn't read all of the posts.

My second? Armagetron!

Nexuiz

Game of the year is Xonotic
 

I think it should be added , it does have impressive graphics (new hight res textures) and open source community type of management :)

Wesnoth forever!

Three years ago, Battle for Wesnoth (along with applications like Firefox, VLC, OpenOffice and Thunderbird) showed me what can open source software achieve, so it was instrumental in my conversion to Linux. And it's still getting better and better!

Torcs, it's the perfect mix of quick play, tournament, endurance and really good sim. GO TORCS! :)

How could you miss cube2: sauerbraten!
I play that game every single day, gotta be the best fps shooter on *nix (not to forget the co-op map editing mode)

its awesome.

Is there any racing games available? Please suggest some names. :)
