Do you play open-source games? If yes, which games do you enjoy?

OpenTTD is certainly a good open-source game

So incredibly addictive

0 A.D., Beyond All Reason, SuperTuxKart, and The Dark Mod are the four FOSS gaming projects that I find to be most impressive.

The Dark Mod looks really interesting. Any idea about the hardware requirements? I can't find information about it on their page. Wondering if I have a chance to get it to run on my aging Core i3 potato with integrated graphics...

Not sure about the requirements, but I had The Dark Mod running fine on an old machine with an ancient Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 gigabytes of DDR2 ram, and a GeForce 730 card. So the requirements are pretty light. I would suggest just trying it out and seeing how it runs.

Thanks, I will definitely try it! I remember really enjoying the Thief games.

The classic one, Frozen Bubble.

My top 3 best would be Widelands, Battle for Wesnoth and FreeOrion. But the ones that I play most of the time ae the simple quick games from KDE Games collection :)

I love Mindustry. It's a Factorio-like builder/defence game with stronger emphasis on the RTS/battle aspect.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead. Persistent procedural open world zombie survival sandbox roguelike, and the inspiration for Project Zomboid. SsethTzeentach did a review/ primer a few years ago, though the game changed quite a bit since then.

Super Tux Kart

Better than Mario Kart

I can’t figure out if there’s a way to bookmark threads in Lemmy. So I’m gonna be that guy and leave a comment so I can come back to this thread later to install all these 😄

You can save this thread if you mean that

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That is what I meant. Now I see the star button but I swear it wasn't showing for me on mobile before. Thanks!

We have a OpenSourceGames community.

I think Xonotic and Unvanquished are pretty cool. Mindustry is very popular. Unciv and Thrive are probably lesser known but also very cool.
