OpenTTD is a great open source clone of the transport tycoon game. And boohu is an awesome ASCII coffeebreak roguelike.

Teeworlds. There are some great community made modes for it like FNG and DDrace. Be sure to download it from ddnet.tw to access to extra features created by the community.

Simutrans. It's old but really good. It's really easy to lose 10h or so in it before you notice the time.

0 A.D. is the closest experience to Empire Earth I've had on the FOSS side. Great fun!

Hum more Age of Empire than Empire Earth I think

OpenTTD is my drug. I'm addicted

Endgame: Singularity is a fun (and sometimes very frustrating) small strategy game worth checking out.

The Dark Mod is basically Thief but really well done with a solid amount of (fan) missions to choose from. Speaking of I should play some of it again.

Xonotic. I even got a server in my region!

I'm surprised to not see Flare RPG mentioned. It's nothing groundbreaking on its own, but it's actually got two nicely fleshed out campaigns, and tooling for people to make new ones. It's a nice, fun, FOSS single-player RPG, and it's great if you want that old fashioned Diablo feel.

Another vote for Endless Sky here as well, it's just excellent, and surprisingly expansive.

If reverse-engineered Nintendo games count, then Super Mario 64 and Pokemon Emerald whose engine is technically open source.

EDIT: Minecraft Beta 1.7.3 has been reverse engineered multiple times too.

Pokemon Emerald 😉

Battle for Wesnoth is a personal favorite of mine that I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere in the thread. It's a pixel art, hex-grid turn based strategy game with fantasy armies. It's mixed with mild RPG elements, and there's tons and tons of campaigns and fanmade content accessible directly through a mod browser in game.
The other games I enjoy that I see being mentioned here are in the same vein. BAR, Warzone 2100, OpenTTD. And the open mods based on the STALKER engine, like Anomaly. I love those.

InfraArcana was a little bit tough but is a very good roguelike

Only one that comes to mind is Lugaru. The creator had this weird legal battle where someone stole the game, ported it to iOS, and the thief claimed because it was open source he was allowed to sell it.

There are a few open source game projects I follow. I suppose the most famous one is the Freespace 2 source code project. Although it didn't start open source, the original devs open-sourced it later. It has great support, and a great modding launcher called Knossos. To play the game, even with the source code, you either need the original disks or a copy of the installer from GoG, but it's really cheap. Getting it working on Windows is pretty easy, but Linux is only slightly more complicated. (Fortunately, there's a new launcher that makes it way easier).

If you're interested, let me know.

I'd say Pokemon Infinite Fusion. It's written in Rails and the artwork is done by the community
