What's Your Favorite Open Source Game?

Posted by Cliff on from the share-your-opinions dept.

Carlos Camacho asks: "The Inkubator Project is a website for creating free, Open Source Mac games through a collaboration between experienced and inexperienced developers. As webmaster, I am interested in adding to the seven games we have listed in our link section. So, I would like to ask Slashdot readers for their picks of the best Open Source games. The Inkubator Project focuses on Mac developers, however any game project that uses cross-platform technologies is fine."
