There is a Sonic fan game called Sonic Robo Blast 2 available at http://www.srb2.org/ . It's a 3d game based on the doom engine, and, to me, it feels exactly how Sonic should in 3d.
Another game is Netstorm, which was practically abandoned by the publisher, Activision, as it came out. The developers went bust, and a bad release time, lack of marketing and flaw allowing easy pirating meant the game sold terribly. About 4 years ago, Activision took down the last remaining multiplayer server and Netstorm, being a very focused multiplayer game (though it can be single player, the AI is nothing compared to the tactics required against humans,) practically died.
Luckily the loyal (and possibly addicted) community kept it alive and it now exists as free abandonware, available at http://www.netstormhq.com/ , with new user-made patches (it's not open source, btw) and a loyal community.
It's a very unique game, definately worth trying;) Kind of like chess + tetris.
I must disagree, dear chappy! I didn't really find out about Monty Python until I was about 14/15 (3 years ago,) and I've loved it since. My cousins, aged between 6 and 10 at the time, also loved it.
I doubt that Monty Python's sense of humour will be "outdated" very soon.
This game's been around since '97 but I only really got into it in about 2002... and I've been playing it ever since. It's a brilliant real-time strategy, which is like a mixture between chess and tetris -- you have to place buildings, not units, (which fight,) on the ends of bridges, in order to defeat your enemy and capture their priest (like a King in chess.)
The game is abandonware and can be found at http://www.netstormhq.com/
This is an excellent game, especially when there are loads of people in one zone.
Unfortunately, I started playing this again today, and I might not escape it for a while...
VOIP has many problems, e.g. unlike regular telephones on regular telephone lines, they do not work during power cuts. They can also cause problems when being used for emergency calls, as the location of the person cannot be traced easily (if at all.)
Until the problems are sorted out, I don't think people will be jumping onto VOIP phones.

I bet the kids are too scared of the chair-throwing to buy an ipod.

Linux's source code isn't private (as far as I know) -- isn't that secure?
