Linux games?

What's the best open source single-player game for Linux?

Depends on the genre.

Personally I like:

neverputt - An insanely addictive golfing game. (Better than it sounds).

pioneers - A good implementation of Settlers of Catan.

tremulous - A first-person shooter.

crawl - A text-based dungeon adventure game.

frozen-bubble - The classic puzzle-bobble clone.

clanbomber - A clone of Bomberman. Sucky graphics though :(

koules - A single-player space-ship based shooter. Addictive but hard.

Thanks! I thought Tremulous was multiplayer-only, no?

You might be right. The rest definitely aren't.

(I only played that at Debconf but I was pretty sure it had bots / AI play..)

Honest to God: Frozen Bubble is why we run Ubuntu here. redcountess saw it at ruthi's, begged her laptop be converted to Ubuntu, and so I shifted mine to 5.04 because FreeBSD 5 wasn't happy with the hardware. GOD HELP ME.

I've got to agree. What the world needs is a LiGNUx-compatible Compiz-compatible adventure game. Preferably with with some Doctor Who/Douglas Adams references. That'll sort the planet out. ;o)

GnuGo? :)

Otherwise - freeciv.

Lincity!

(Or even Lincity-NG.)

And who could forget Nethack - Falcon's Eye?

Monkey-bubble, which is much like Frozen-bubble, but with less ambiguous colours and monkeys.

I didn't know Frozen-bubble had ambiguous monkeys...

I've been wasting a lot of time on freeciv lately. Not Linux-only, but open source.

I like "bog" single player Boggle.

Teh LiGNUx? WTF? FFS nethack!!!!1!

I rather enjoy warzone2100 - it really shines in multiplayer, but the single player is very challenging, and you can play multiplayer against the AI, too.

Well, I've heard people enjoy Oolite

NetHack and Derek Ray's variant "Sporkhack". Crawl for when NetHack gets too easy.

Depends on your definition of 'game' really.

The SGT puzzles waste a lot of my time.
