Linux Games For Non-Gamers?

Nethead writes "Due to some down-time, I'm looking for some Linux games to pass the time. I've been playing BattleMaster, a PHP web game but it's only two turns a day, and I'd like something a bit faster. I've not really played PC games since the Doom era so I'm really out of touch here. I don't have a real gamer box, just a simple video card. What do Slashdotters think I should try? A simple FPS or some type of networked game would do. What's out there for Linux?"

    Try writing that programming called "guess the number I am thinking", where the code generates a random int from 0 to 100. You might also try from 1 to 100. About the most fun you can have with Linux. And the code will be copyright/patent free! You can adapt it any way you like, in the open source philosophy.
