"lacking"... in modern sensibilities. <br><br>Probably the FOSS games I play the most are Tetris in emacs and Gikopoi:<br>and someone's working on making a Gikopoi client for emacs, written in<br>emacs lisp, which is uhhh pretty unexpected?????? <br><br>I kind of want to write a server for traditional games like cribbage in<br>C and then make a client in emacs-lisp but I worry I'd never be able to<br>find friends to play those trad games with ;_; Just a websearch for <br>"backgammon emacs" is depressing enough as-is, (zero results), why <br>bother writing several hundreds or thousands of lines of code to sit <br>waiting in a lobby to play a game with no one.... ;_;<br><br>It's not FLOSS by any means, but one of my favorite "free" online games<br>is Power Bomberman: <br>http://www.bombermanboard.com/viewtopic.php?t=1925&start=760<br><br>Definitely will check out cataclysm:dda later, thanks for the rec OP Reply to thread https://bbs.gikopoi.com/post/1705095924/3 2024-01-14T20:07:21+00:00 2024-01-14T20:07:21+00:00 Sauerbraten is a classic, people still play it too. Don't know about<br>AssaultCube but that used to be good too. I remember downloading that<br>shit onto a USB in 7th grade and could play it anywhere, it was crazy.<br> Reply to thread https://bbs.gikopoi.com/post/1705095924/4 2024-01-26T06:36:51+00:00 2024-01-26T06:36:51+00:00 What about Xonotic? It's a really good FOSS arena shooter.

I love those https://bbs.gikopoi.com/post/1705095924/6 2024-07-15T22:10:17+00:00 2024-07-15T22:10:17+00:00 My favorites are Moria, Sil and Sil Q.<br>Angband feels too bloated.<br>I love it when FOSS games focus on a tight experience that still feels <br>it has "depth" to play.<br><br>Here's a fun one:<br>Shadow of the Wyrm.<br>Another RPG roguelike, try it out lads Reply to thread https://bbs.gikopoi.com/post/1705095924/7 2024-07-19T23:12:06+00:00 2024-07-19T23:12:06+00:00 infra arcana is good. i don't know if i'd say i dislike the 'downtime' of<br>exploration in other roguelikes but it is refreshing to play one where<br>starting from the first floor you are always either in extreme danger or<br>in close proximity to it.
