Aleph
What is Aleph One/SDL?
Aleph One is an Open
Source 3D first-person shooter game, based on the game
Marathon 2
by Bungie Software. It
supports, but doesn't require, OpenGL for rendering. Aleph One was
originally a MacOS-only game, but I'm working on a cross-platform
version based on the Simple
DirectMedia Layer (SDL) library, that should eventually run on
all systems supported by SDL (Linux, BeOS, Windows, MacOS,
Solaris, IRIX, *BSD, and others).
http://source.bungie.org/
Project status
Aleph One/SDL runs on all Unix systems supported by SDL (Linux,
FreeBSD, Solaris, IRIX), on BeOS R4.5 or later versions, and on
Windows 9x/NT/2000. It does not currently run on MacOS (for the
MacOS version, click here).
Except for network play and a few minor things, the game is
complete and playable.

AOT
An Open Source port of the Hexen 2 engine to Linux.
Anvil of Thyrion is a project based on the Hexen II: Portal of
Praevus source that runs on Linux and it's variants. Anvil of
Thyrion was given its name in the hope that it will one day
outgrow the name "Hexen II for Linux" and eventually come to
represent both a modified Hexen II engine and tools for that
engine.
Thyrion is the world Hexen II takes place in. An anvil is used
by blacksmiths to create weapons and tools. I stole the anvil
paradigm from AoT's distant cousin, QuakeForge.

Armagetron
(Pronunciation: just like Armageddon, just with a "tr" instead
of the "dd".) In this game, you ride a lightcycle around the game
grid. You can only make sharp turns of 90 degrees and a wall
constantly builds up after you. Make your enemies crash into your
wall, but be aware that they are trying to do the same to you.
Only if you are fast enough, you may be able to trap them; but the
only way to speed up your lightcycle is to drive close to the
dangerous walls. Prepare for exciting strategic preparations
followed by action-packed close combat!

ArmyOPS
America's Army: Operations
is a squad-based multiplayer first-person shooter that utilizes
the Unreal Warfare engine. Created by the U.S. Army as a
recruiting tool, the game offers an unprecedented attention to
detail as the game portrays actual Army conditions and situations
in a 3D gaming environment. Just think of it as a cross between
Ghost Recon or Operation Flashpoint with an amazing amount of
attention paid to recreating the Army experience -- down to
weapons, physics and even the Army's core values

GLTRON
The first version of GLtron (0.1) was written on a rainy
afternoon in June 1998, as an exercise for the computer graphics
course at the university. After that, nothing happened.
One year later I was cleaning up my /home directory a little
bit, and stumbled across the sources. I had recently discovered a
website devoted to linux games called
The Linux Game Tome. I
thought: "well, clean it up a bit, make sure it compiles cleanly,
and put it on a webpage", which I did. Version 0.2 was created
(0.1 was the one written for the course). It was less than 5 kbyte.
I got a few comments by E-Mail, and generally people thought that
it was nice for such a small download, but probably a bit too
simple.
Over the time, I improved it, released / announced / got
feedback and released again. People started contributing small
patches. I added textures, I received a soundtrack, a lightcycle
model, better textures, tons of ideas etc.
Now that you read so much about GLtron's history, you're
probably curious what's it about. Well, as the name suggests, it's
inspired by the movie TRON. Or more exactly, by all the games that
where inspired by the movie TRON.
You steer a futuristic bike, called lightcycle. Combat takes
place in a rectangular arena. Your bike leaves a trail behind,
which is like a wall. The goal is to force the other players to
drive into a wall. The winner is the last player alive.

Parsec
Parsec is a fast-paced
non-commercial network space-shooter that has been in development
for several years. It started out in 1996 as a lab project at the
Vienna University of Technology, but has transcended its original
roots to become what we would like to refer to as
commercial-quality freeware (CQF).
The major releases of Parsec up to
now were several versions of the Parsec LAN-Test, which
were intended to enable players to get a glimpse of the current
state of Parsec's development. These releases support Win32, MacOS,
MacOS X, and Linux platforms, and 3D hardware acceleration through
OpenGL and Glide (for the old 3dfx boards).
The Parsec Project, a term we also
use to refer to the people behind Parsec, is the team of game
developers that has been working on Parsec since 1996 until the
open source release in May 2003.
Since May 2003, Parsec is an open
community project striving toward a Parsec release that also
includes Internet game play. The members of the original Parsec
Project are dedicating their work to the Parsec community, and
hoping that the open source version of Parsec will bring lots of
fun to even more people around the globe!

you, testing the gut reaction that brought you here in the first
place. Your new mantra: Fight or be finished.

Shogo
Anime-inspired giant robot combat
In Shogo you play Sanjuro, a hotshot commander caught in the
middle of a war against a terrorist organisation that cost him his
family and his girl-friend. As the plot develops, you will find
out that not everything is as you thought it was. But make no
mistake: Shogo is all about furious 3D action.
Some sections of the game have to be traversed on foot whilst
other sections can only be completed with the aid of a Mobile
Combat Armor unit, a 10 meters tall metal suit that packs some
really amazing fire-power such as a laser-cannon and a
multi-warhead launcher. In true anime fashion, the MCA's are
extremely maneuverable and it's great fun to squash a foot-soldier
now and then, but just remember to make a run for it when you're
the one on foot...

Sin
Ten
years ago in 2027, the city of Freeport was on the verge of
collapse. The inefficient and under manned police forces were
losing in the long, hard battle against crime. The city needed
help, but the overburdened government could no longer cope with
maintaining peace on the streets. The government proposed a new
bill giving individual corporations the right to form their own
private security forces, called sec-forces. These sec-forces would
be able to provide private protection to the corporations and
citizens of the cities. This bill was passed and a new order of
law enforcement was born.
Several well
respected sec-forces emerged and one hard hitting group calling
themselves HARDCORPS led the way in crime prevention and
elimination. The chaos slowly subsided as the sec-forces brought
peace and order back to the city.
Colonel John
Blade, the owner of HARDCORPS, and his sec-force teams are
currently investigating the source of a highly addictive drug
called "U4". This drug has been around for some time now, but
lately, strange things have been happening to its users. It is up
to Blade to figure out who or what is behind this unexplained
phenomenon now plaguing the streets and put a stop to it.
The elaborate
puzzle slowly unfolds and points towards the brilliant biochemist
Elexis Sinclaire. Elexis is an enigma, a maverick in the business
world who shows no mercy behind those gorgeous features. She works
in the shadows at times and this mysterious vixen is attempting to
push the evolution of mankind ahead by a thousand generations and
will stop at nothing to get what she wants.
