Ur-Quan Masters is a port of the original Star Control 2 for 3DO Consoles.
The project started in August 2002, when Toys For Bob released the partially
ported sources of Star Control 2 3DO version to the fan community. Our goal
is to port this wonderful game to current personal computers and operating
systems. It is and will remain 100% free of charge, and anyone can contribute
to the project and thus help make it even better.

Widelands is an open source real-time strategy game inspired by Bluebyte's
Settlers II (TM). You are the chieftain of a small tribe. To grow your kingdom,
you must secure resources, construct new buildings, train soldiers and wage

The game is playable and great fun already, but it is also still under heavy
development, so do not be surprised if it crashes on you.
XBlast is a multi-player arcade game for X11. The game

players. It was inspired by the video/computer game

mercial) versions of the original game exist for IBM-PC,
Atari ST, Amiga, NES, GameBoy and Super NES.

It is an extremely addictive war game where any mixture of

possible) and attempt to blow up or arrange to blow up the
other tanks on the field (which can vary from rugged,
mountainous terrain to flat plains). The last tank on the
field is the winner.
Xisola game follow this simple rule:
Each move consists of two actions: first move your piece to an
adjascent empty field (horizontal, vertical or diagonal, like
the king in Chess), then take away any of the empty fields
Since the number of fields decreases with every move there will
be a point when one player will not have any empty fields left
to move to and he loses.
XMemory is a multi player memory game. It can be played simultaneously on
several X Displays, which have to be listed on the command-line. Like in
the traditional memory game, the players have to find similar tiles on the
table to get the tiles. The main difference to this game is, that the
players really play simultaneous and therefor the whole game gets
some kind of an action game.

portable (standard C libraries only), free (both "gratis" and "libre"), and
when used skillfully, produces better-quality output than the tools provided by
the camera vendor.
