tiagosilva29 Posted November 1, 2004 Author Share Posted November 1, 2004 America's Army - 3D Action (FPS) http://www.americasarmy.com Q: What is the America's Army game? A: ?an accurate portrayal of Soldier experiences ? The America's Army game provides civilians with an inside perspective and a virtual role in today's premier land force: the U.S. Army. The game is designed to provide an accurate portrayal of Soldier experiences across a number of occupations. In the game, players will explore progressive individual and collective training events within the game. Once they successfully completed these events they will advance to multiplayer operations in small units.[/quo This is a great free game endorsed by the U.S. Army and it's multi-platform (it has Windows, Macintosh Linux clients).

zer0 Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Cube - FPS http://wouter.fov120.com/cube/ Cube is an open source multiplayer and singleplayer first person shooter game built on an entirely new and very unconventional engine. Cube is a landscape-style engine that pretends to be an indoor FPS engine, which combines very high precision dynamic occlusion culling with a form of geometric mipmapping on the whole world for dynamic LOD for configurable fps & graphic detail on most machines. Uses OpenGL & SDL. Flight Gear - Flight Sim http://flightgear.org/ an open source fligh simulator on par with ms flight simulator 98.

markwolfe Veteran Posted November 1, 2004 Veteran Share Posted November 1, 2004 (edited) Racer - car driving/racing simulator (Open Source, on top of it all!) http://www.racer.nl/ I got this to install about a year and a half ago, but could not get it to run (various errors). Looks pretty impressive. EDIT: Some good answers here. I'll pin this for the time being, and we'll see how this progresses.

metal_dragen Veteran Posted November 1, 2004 Veteran Share Posted November 1, 2004 Enemy Territory - Quake3-engine based FPS (First Person Shooter) http://www.castlewolfenstein.com Originally slated to be an expansion to the popular Return to Castle Wolfenstein game, Splash Damage, after nearly completing the game, decided to make a standalone game because of the difference in playing styles, objectives, and classes that the game brought. ET has a strong community in the competitive world as well, with well over 200 active clans.

tiagosilva29 Posted November 5, 2004 Author Share Posted November 5, 2004 Armagetron - 3D Action (Racing/Strategy) http://armagetron.sourceforge.net/ 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!
