3D Pong is an X Window game for 1 or 2 players. It's a 3D game based
on the first arcade game, "Pong." Like "Pong," it's a game played with
a ball and paddles. The object is to hit the ball and get it in the
other player's goal. Use your paddle to deflect the ball and keep it
from getting in your goal.
BomberInstinct is a multiplayer-only Bomberman-like game. It plays only on a
single computer at the moment, with keyboard or joystick. It's part like
Bomberman, because you must kill the other players with bombs that throw flames
vertically and horizontally, but it's much more strategical because you have to
do with the elements of a maze (arrows, tunnels, teleportations, and many
more...), and with the special powers of each character.
Linley's Dungeon Crawl is a free and portable roguelike molded in the
tradition of the early greats of the genre: Rogue, Hack, and Moria.
The player guides a single character deep into a subterranean complex
to retrieve the Orb of Zot, fending off many horrible and hideous
creatures along the way. Once retrieved, the player must return both
character and Orb safely to the surface world. Easier said than done,
but fun all the same.

excido is a free (GPL) game. It combines (simple|old school|arcadey) gameplay
with 3D OpenGL graphics and OpenAL positional audio. Excido is not a
highly complex experience, but you may enjoy it as a small diversion.
Excido was developed under GNU/Linux, and has also been found to work on MacOS
X. It should also work with minimal porting effort on the other platforms
supported by SDL/OpenAL.

gcompris, but without the overkill of GNOME environment. Also the use of
the SDL libraries makes smooth animation and the playing of sound very
easy. Childsplay uses a plugin system for the games, so you might want
to check the childsplay-plugins page. (There are two built-in games;
Memory and a typing game)

OpenClonk is a free multiplayer action game in which you control clonks,
small but witty and nimble humanoid beings. The game is mainly about
mining, settling and fast-paced melees.
OpenClonk is not just a game but also a versatile 2D game engine that
allows the creation of mods. It is the successor of the shareware game
series Clonk and thus inherits many of its features.
