│ Do Nethack or DC:SS count? I love both of those games, even if
│ they're... "lacking"... in modern sensibilities.
│
│ Probably the FOSS games I play the most are Tetris in emacs and Gikopoi:
│ and someone's working on making a Gikopoi client for emacs, written in
│ emacs lisp, which is uhhh pretty unexpected??????
│
│ I kind of want to write a server for traditional games like cribbage in
│ C and then make a client in emacs-lisp but I worry I'd never be able to
│ find friends to play those trad games with ;_; Just a websearch for
│ "backgammon emacs" is depressing enough as-is, (zero results), why
│ bother writing several hundreds or thousands of lines of code to sit
│ waiting in a lobby to play a game with no one.... ;_;
│
│ It's not FLOSS by any means, but one of my favorite "free" online games
│ is Power Bomberman:

│ Sauerbraten is a classic, people still play it too. Don't know about
│ AssaultCube but that used to be good too. I remember downloading that
│ shit onto a USB in 7th grade and could play it anywhere, it was crazy.

│ What about Xonotic? It's a really good FOSS arena shooter.

│ i love cdda, i just love going with random characters and just trying to not die
│ there's so much in that game its amazing
│
├─■ 🕑 6. FOSS? I love those
│ My favorites are Moria, Sil and Sil Q.
│ Angband feels too bloated.
│ I love it when FOSS games focus on a tight experience that still feels
│ it has "depth" to play.
│
│ Here's a fun one:
│ Shadow of the Wyrm.
│ Another RPG roguelike, try it out lads

│ infra arcana is good. i don't know if i'd say i dislike the 'downtime' of
│ exploration in other roguelikes but it is refreshing to play one where
│ starting from the first floor you are always either in extreme danger or
│ in close proximity to it.
