GLTron
April 19th, 2006
GLTron is a simple open source retro style game where you are a "lightcycle" which is a futuristic bike (view screenshots).
The game takes place on a grid. Everywhere you go you leave a wall behind. The aim is to stay alive as long as possible by not crashing into any walls. You can win by forcing other players to crash into walls or simply by holding out for the longest.
Enemy Territory (another free but not open source game) Fans: There is a tron map.
On the topic of games, I’ve also been playing Battle of Wesnoth recently. It’s free, open source and quite addictive. Kinda similar to Age of Empires.

I played on of the older versions of that on the knoppix live dvd, it was rather poor then, maybe I'll have another see.
It's not particularly great now; but it's a nice game when you have a couple of minutes. Wolf ET and Wesnoth are the games you spend hours on and get no work done.
