What's Your Favorite Open Source Game?

Carlos Camacho asks: "The Inkubator Project is a website for creating free, Open Source Mac games through a collaboration between experienced and inexperienced developers. As webmaster, I am interested in adding to the seven games we have listed in our link section. So, I would like to ask Slashdot readers for their picks of the best Open Source games. The Inkubator Project focuses on Mac developers, however any game project that uses cross-platform technologies is fine."

Ladder

[DeadSea]

My favorite game growing up was Ladder for my Kapro II computer. Sort of a clone of Donkey Kong with ASCII graphics. I liked it so much I cloned Ladder in Java and released it open source [ostermiller.org]. Should work fine on the OS X.

Not open source, but free flash games that I really like:

• Tontie [kiteretsu.jp] - souped up whack-a-mole
• Miniputt 2 [roesser.com] - Miniture Golf

Re:There aren't any good ones

"None are any good, so why bother even looking?"

Because you cannot prove that something doesn't exist. Therefore, you cannot use that rational to explain why you won't look.

Crossfire

[flonker]

Crossfire [real-time.com] of course! The graphics are a bit simple, but it's got nearly as much depth as nethack, and it's a MMORPG. Gameplay is a bit similar to gauntlet, but with CRPG elements.

Flightgear

[_aa_]

Flightgear [flightgear.org] is fun.

My top 5

[minotaurcomputing]

1) NetHack
2) GNU Chess
3) GNU Go
4) Rogue
5) GNU Shogi

Pretty limited scope... sorry.
