This list is a little old, so some of the links may not work anymore, but overall it's still a pretty solid compendium for any budget concious Linux (or Windows) gamer!

Dang, I remember playing that when I was 14 or so. Surprised to see it's still being developed. Looking at gameplay of the latest release... It still looks awfully janky still. Does it play well nowadays?

Been a long time since I played it myself, but it was my first introduction to space sims.

Development of the game picked up again just a year or so ago, after a long time of hiatus.

Yeah, the game looked nice over 15 years ago, but the graphics haven't updated at all, so the visuals are incredibly dated. Gameplay is still quite solid, though, and the background simulation aspect of the game is still on-par with Elite Dangerous, so I'd say it's a pretty good choice if someone is looking for a FOSS space sim.
