TOP Ubuntu/Linux/Windows games

[charlieg]

Well this is why I created Free Gamer, to do just this, although my lists (e.g. free games list) are a bit broke atm (working on it) but still contain a lot of quality FLOSS games.

I mean... e.g... VDrift, Glest, Freeciv, Freecol, TA:Spring, I could keep going. You got too many games to maintain a list here. But good luck anyway.

- Sauerbraten: Quake-style ego-shooter, code under Zlib license, content under various licenses (but also nonfree stuff ), nice graphics - very fast and flexible engine. Allows level editing ingame. Even multiplayer editing is possible!

- OpenArena: FOSS Quake3 "clone", in the repos, totally free (GPL)

- UrbanTerro: Counter-Strike like Quake3 mod, since 4.0 standalone with ioquake3, unfree, but still funny

Nice feedback. Thx all. Besides games, can you give links "how-to install in easy ways", on ubuntu, of course.
Links inside ubuntu own sites are preferred. (I guess).

Fantastic post. A "best of breed" post is needed for a lot of stuff!
