Top 5 best (free) open source games (Guess who's on there!)

APC Magazine 5 Best

That's RIGHT! Battle for Wesnoth has ONCE AGAIN been named one of the 5 BEST free and open source games EVER!



On another note, Secret Maryo looks cool, and Nethack got an honorable mention. Otherwise, I've pretty much seen and heard of everything else.

Personally I like the original civilization over freeciv...

We are there but spring got a shitty description.If i didnt know it i wouldnt download it after reading that.

[DZHIBRISH]

If spring was user friendly it wuld have deserved being on a top 5 list.

[manored]

Since spring is user friendly it deserves to be on a top 1 list.

Fixed :)

I personally dont find spring hard to manage, I was able to get into a game in the first try (after downloading the stuff), consequently ruining the game for anyone who was in here with impressive levels of noobage...

maryo is quite fun... too bad it has no story nor bosses

Does anyone have an opinion on this Battle For Wesnorth?

[REVENGE]

I played an earlier version, and it felt like a bunch of cut out icons moving around on the screen. That's not to say there's no strategy involved, but turn based is not my game.

[smoth]

lol we didn't even get an honorable mention... if you ask me... the gauntlet is thrown...

[kiki]

ya, spring > wz2100. But still.....

Battle for Wesnoth is cool but the random factor is big enough that it gets really frustrating, while being small enough that people can say that anybody who cares about it is whining.

[pintle]

Wesnoth is very cool imo, well developed balance, and the random element is not actually that huge; it's pretty rare that a game can be decided on a single "dice roll".

The multiplayer lobby is fugly tho, and it lacks a lot of the more basic necessary functions imo, the inability to switch back to the main lobby once you have hosted a game, without closing the game, is a big problem imo.

Worth checkin out tho, my nick is (surprisingly) pintle on there gimme a shout if you fancy a game

[Regret]

There's no mention of Warsow, Padman or Tremulous. Yawn.

[REVENGE]

How is the tux racing game? Looks promising.

"If spring was user friendly it wuld have deserved being on a top 5 list."

With ICEUI, Spring is more user-friendly than some commercial games I play. Actually the default UI is good now too.

Spring is user friendly... the main mods are not :) BA takes forever for you to learn all the things that you must and must not do to win...

[Gota]

Spring and the spring lobby are very user unfreindly.
