Hey there,

I enjoy Linux gaming via WINE/Proton, but I often wonder about Linux-native FOSS games. You often see brilliant titles like 0AD and Mindustry mentioned, but there are also some unspoken gems in the “genre” like Minetest and it makes me wonder what other FOSS games are out there, that people just don’t talk about much? I’m looking to discover and play more of these titles.

    I’m a fan of Freedroid Classic, a FOSS remake of a commodore 64 game called “Paradroid”. You’re a robot on a deserted space ship full of other malfunctioning robots, and you have to hack / shoot all of them. You start out as the worst robot, but if you encounter a better one, you can hack it to take over its body – if it doesn’t kill you first.

    Takes a few runs to get the hang of it, but it’s a lot of fun.
