Bravo! This is a good one! No more dull moment when I am on my Ubuntu Desktop. Can ease of the stress of work by playing those game.

Thanks for the great collection. Cheers.

1998 called, it wants its games back. Sheesh. Even the iPhone can do better than these titles

Love it. I downloaded the racer for my Mac and I’m playing it now. Nothing beats a free game, even if they are low quality graphics and effects.

what about Urban Terror? it pwns! http://urbanterror.net

Americasarmy stopped the native Linux client sometime back. Never played it ever since.

OpenTTD is open source and free, but (AFAIK) it requires the original files from Transport Tycoon Deluxe, which is (to the best of my knowledge) neither Open Source nor free.

How can you leave out Enemy Territory?

This list does feel a little dated.

Americas Army no longer supports linux, and it’s been that way for quite some time.

As stated OpenTTD requires non-free files.

I don’t play many games, but one that should be considered is:

Battle for Wesnoth – http://wesnoth.org/ – The Battle for Wesnoth is a free, turn-based strategy game with a fantasy theme. Build up a great army of humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, trolls or any of the other races and beat those who dare to oppose you.

Thank your very much to all those readers who liked the post…

@BDuke & @goober
Thanks for introducing me to more Linux Game Titles… I too think that 5 is too low a number to review.. I would soon do a second post to cover the great games I left out…

Even if certain whiny people exaggerate what the iPhone can do in response to you posting something nice, this is still a good introduction to gaming for those who may not have looked into it on the Linux platform. I likey.

FTW!!

Awesome Post!

@K. Alex Rosen
Thanks for your support..

America’s Army? Show me the current Linux client please. Oh wait, that doesn’t exist.

There are so many other great games to include, instead, a game that has not been developed for Linux in years, no longer supported and most recent client version is too old to even play on the official servers was listed.

+1 for urbanterror. It’s a great game.
I’m also a fan of tileracer and teeworlds.

Here’s a more comprehensive list:

84 great free games

Playdeb (http://www.playdeb.net/) has most of these games also =)

Vadim P.s last blog post..Gufw 0.20.0 release is out!

Alien Arena for the win. This is a pretty crappy list. There are much better games for Linux. (Warsow, Nexuiz, LinCity-NG, Neverball)

@Doug, William, AstralSin

I think this is time for making a new list..

Purpose of these lists is to increase awareness about Linux Gaming Scene…

No-one is claiming he knows everything…

I am eager to work with you to make a new list… are you game for that?

SIMUTRANS is much better than “OpenTTD” and finally reached 1.0!

You forgot “Return to Castle Wolfenstein : Enemy Territory”. How dare you!

And freeCiv is a nice Civilization clone :>

@tux86: I am long time TTD Fan. been playing it since I was child.. Thanks for introducing me to SIMUTRANS… do you know where I can find it?

R. MAK.s last blog post..How To Know Everything About A Website ( Almost Everything )

I can’t believe no one’s mentioned Frets on Fire. In terms of mass appeal and replay value, it blows away 99% of the other games on Linux. Not to say the aforementioned aren’t worthy titles – you especially got my attention with the screenies of RACER and Flightgear. Thanks!

@contrast:

Frets on fire is a great game indeed.

Racer is also my favorite

Marias last blog post..Mt. Huashan Hiking Trail

I like Tremulous.

Sorry, but not very impressive. Though they are free. But this is why I’ll keep Vista and my DirectX 10 games on my dual boot Vista.

Well you ought to be impressed \, snobby Tommy and here’s why.

Either 1) you are into games and would get MORE bay ALSO dual booting Kubuntu.

OR 2) you don’t have time to play every game in existence and the Linux games are already too many for you.

What’s more, setting up the higher end graphics drivers are no more time consuming than Windows AND once the GPU is setup, install and removal of open software games is FASTER and easier. No tiers. No fix patches. No no-CD patches. No XP or Vista work arounds. No DRM. No crap.

Other Cool Open Source games:
Urban Terror
Alien Arena
Torcs

Uber Ubuntus last blog post..Mandriva 2009

thank you

BEST GAME PLEASE SEND ME GAMES

navdeep’s last blog post..Windows 7: Nothing More Than Vista Face-lift

This is just sad. Really. The sterile environments in Racer are no match for modern racing games on Windows/XBox360/PS3 (I’m not even going to talk about the manual tweaking of shaders that is necessary / advised to “get that GT3 feeling” as they put it themselves). America’s Army is NOT available for Linux (at least, the latest release isn’t). Cube 2: Sauerbraten is basically a 3D-engine demonstration. A fairly nice 3D engine indeed, but nothing more (of course, it can’t hold a candle to modern engines such as CryTek2). OpenTTD / SimuTrans? No, really, are you serious? Indeed, 1998 wants its games back. TT(D) was great back in the days, but some people have moved on. So should you (otherwise, just download MAME and have a go at Pac-Man). Which only leaves Flight Gear. I’m not into flight sims (along with 99% of all gamers), but who knows, it might stand up against MS Flight Simulator. Then again (considering the other games), I highly doubt it. And don’t give me the: “But they are free!” ‘argument’; let’s just say that it shows. If you want quality, you’ll have to pay. Or use BitTorrent/Usenet (possibly in conjunction with WINE (how ironic) if you really want to) and be done with it. But don’t worry, guys, 20?? will DEFINITELY be the year of Linux on the desktop and as a game platform, no doubt about it. Right…

looks pretty cool!!!

add free CAR GAMES

There are few open source gambling games, but we are working on such a game, please take a look at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/tutyfrutyslot/
