Return to Castle Wolfenstein is a military- and occult-themed
first-person shooter game in a Second World War setting, originally
released in 2001. It is a sequel to Wolfenstein 3D.
This port contains the iortcw game engines for the single-player
campaign and multiplayer, based on ioquake3 and the GPL source
releases of RtCW.
Return to Castle Wolfenstein requires non-distributable game data
files, which you have to install manually (see pkg-message).
Ensemblist is a unique reflexion game created for the video game coding
compo held in March 2003 in Paris.
In this game, you have to put together several simple geometric
primitives to build a given shape. For this, you can move, rotate and
compose the primitives with the boolean operators union, intersection
and minus. This is building what is called a C.S.G, for Constructive
Solid Geometry.
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.
Return to Castle Wolfenstein is a remake of sorts of the id's early, seminal
first-person shooter, Wolfenstein 3D. However, with the advances in graphics
technology and gameplay design since the original game, without the name and
the occasional in-game references, it would be unrecognizable as a remake.
Unlike the original Wolfenstein 3D, only a handful of the single player
missions in Return to Castle Wolfenstein takes place in the infamous castle
and prison.
Childsplay is a 'suite' of educational games for young children, like
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)
HLLib is a package library for Half-Life that abstracts several package
formats and provides a simple interface for all of them. HLLib is written
in native C++ but exposes both a C and C++ interfaces which can be used in

standard C imports). HLLib works natively in both Windows and *nix. BSP,
GCF, NCF, PAK, SGA, VPK, WAD, XZP, and ZIP (store/deflate) package formats
are supported.
Vega Strike is an open source, 3D space simulator. Work is proceeding on
both the Vega Strike game engine and a Vega Strike Universe game data set.
Both engine and data are in a playable state, but still under development.

include:
* Trading
* Exploration
* Plenty of shoot 'em up action
* Preliminary multiplayer deathmatch (testing server only)
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.
Game based on the "Sonic the Hedgehog" universe.
It introduces a different style of gameplay called cooperative play,
in which it's possible to control 3 characters simultaneously.
Unlike most similar games, Open Sonic provides a greater level of interaction
between the player and the levels. It's more than just a jump'n'run;
the user must come up with some strategy in order to get through the levels.
The game quantum minigolf is nearly the same as the game minigolf
- except that the ball obeys the laws of quantum mechanics.
Such a ball can be at several places at once. It can diffract around
obstacles and interfere with itself. Apart from that, the rules are
the same: You can play on various tracks involving various obstacles.
You hit the ball with a club and try to kick it into a hole on the
other side of the track.
