My favorites:
I keep wanting to get into Pioneers / FreeCol, but it just doesn't work for me. I know a lot of people love TuxKart and Rigs of Rods, but I can't jive with driving games. And I feel that there need to be honorable mentions to Nethack, Dwarf Fortress, and Liberal Crime Squad.
Woah, thanks for the list of games! I basically knew only about Tux Kart.
You're welcome! There's a lot of great FOSS games - and I have to admit that having started from Windows, most of my knowledge originated from PortableApps.com. The games they list there are mostly FOSS, so it's a decent launchpad into the world of FOSS gaming.
