- SuperTuxKart
I really like this game because it's basically just FOSS Mario Kart. It has a lot of gamemodes, an (admittedly simple) kart stat system, many tracks and a lot of mods.
- OpenTTD
In OpenTTD, you transport cargo and people to different places. You can transport them using trains, buses, aeroplanes (airplanes if your American), boats and trams if you add a NewGRF (a mod). It is very addictive and it is quite easy to get into (except the signals).
- Pingus
It's FOSS Lemmings with penguins.
- Extreme Tux Racer
You play as Tux (or someone else) and slide yourself through terrain while you collect fish. It is fun, however I've found that it can get a bit repetitive. You can design levels, however it's a bit hard to do.
- SuperTux
It's 2D Mario with a penguin. BEST GAME EVER.
I play OpenRA & it's mods
- Combined Arms
- Shattered paradise
- OpenHV (it's a heavilly modified version of OpenRA)
I still play OpenTTD every now and then.
But back in 1997, I had the shareware version of Transport Tycoon and I’d come home from school (6th grade) in summer, about 20 minutes walk in 30 degrees heat - my dad would have the dodgy air conditioner on, I’d splash some water on my face and get down to some railroads.
It was a very good time and as an adult I’ve never recaptured that feeling with OpenTTD. But I still install it first thing in every distro.
Battle for Wesnoth is fantastic too.
@penguin202124 If you want to have a real fun with #OpenTTD, play some of #CityBuilder mods online. Fun as hell and also addictive 😀
Looks interesting! I'll try it.
In Super Tux 2(everything after 0.1.3) they changed the physics and made it incredibly floaty. Since then its never been the same.
I didn't use it before 0.1.3, so I don't know how it felt. More like Mario?
Yes, more accurate jumping, and you had more air control. You can still download 1.3., but its a bit hard to get it running nowadays.
