Open source video games
Ive been playing zero-k recently, and wondering what other great open source video games are out there?

fafff, Great suggestions in this discussion! Rather than adding my favourites, I will add some resources that list more games.
- Libregamewiki: it is really comprehensive (sometimes too much, including even not-so-good-games). They care about licencing and is is very easy to browse, top-notch for me.
- Open source games: a more relaxed repository, with lots of material.
- bobeff open source list: this is curated, which means that there are not so many games but each and every one is stable, good, maintained.
- Arcane Cache: a fantastic blog with reviews of libre games — or more precisely, underground games, there is a lot of discussion on how gamedevving philosophy too. The reviews are always in-depth and allow you to experience the games on another level, and each game is a small jewel in its category. Strongly recommended!
ReCursing, Looks like some very useful sites there. Thank you
dandi8, Colobot was made open source a while ago and is still great! The game assets (and original binaries) can also be downloaded for free from the dev's site.
lz0, A lot of good tips here, but you should have a look at Endless Sky! Really cool space game
https://github.com/endless-sky/endless-sky
wiki_me, I liked oolite and doomrl .
naoseiquemsou, I’m surprised that no one mentioned super tux kart yet
413j0, Havent seen endless sky mentioned here, it is an old school space trader sim (think scape velocity or a 2d freelancer)
laenurd, Unciv is a decent Civilization clone
RavelsBolero, Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead, or if you like something a little less complex, Cataclysm: Bright Nights, are fantastic roguelike games. Proper traditional, turn based, tileset ones.
Imagine a mix of Fallout and The Walking Dead, that's what it's like. It's superb. The possibilities are endless
snoopa, If you like Zero-K you’re going to love Beyond All Reason
tuxed, For mobile games there is Shattered Pixel Dungeon, great time sink
Fibbers, Forge, a Magic: The Gathering rules engine available both for Windows and Android. Various formats, good AI, offline and online play, and now even has a Shandalar-like mode.

Fisch,
- osu! (The new lazer client, the old one isn’t open source)
- Veloren
yogthos, (edited )
- Xonotic is a great old school, Quake style FPS with an active community
- 0 A.D. is a pretty polished historical RTS
- The Battle for Wesnoth is a classic turn based strategy
- OpenRA is an open implementation of the Red Alert engine that’s got an active community
- Openhv is an OpenRA based sci-fi RTS
Undearius, Similar to OpenRA, OpenMW is also an open recreation of the engine for The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
yogthos, Nice!
naoseiquemsou, (edited ) I spent so many hours on wesnoth…
That one is perhaps the most polished open source game out there.
wmassingham, I used to play Sauerbraten, a Quake-like FPS, way back in the day. Doesn't look like it's very active any more.
Karmmah, Oh, that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. I also used to play that years ago and I think even spent some time trying to create some maps.
bionicjoey, 0 AD is a solid AOE2 clone
