│   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.
