I used to play freeciv. I just tried Alex the Alligator (alex4). Alex4 was actually fun and took me back to the gameboy era. Left alt key is to jump.

I also have through the archive a copy of Ultima VII, that I played through exult. Exult is available through guix.

I got the hang of solarwolf.

Installed these, but never really played: widelands, doom, omega, berusky2.

Shattered Pixel Dungeon (a roguelike) is great: https://shatteredpixel.com

Superfluous Returnz (a point and click) too: https://studios.ptilouk.net/superfluous-returnz

Both are on Flathub. Please donate to the authors if you like the game, especially to Superfluous' author, Gee, who would like to live from his art but currently cannot (unlike Evan, as far as I understand).

A distant relative told me they had been playing SuperTuxKart and Wesnoth on Trisquel, when they were much younger, in a parallel universe. For the more nostalgia inclined longing for Diablo-like RPG stuff, there is Flare, although the main dev has now set sail to other remote galaxies.

As I was looking for a quick-break game in the middle of hectic times, I installed nibbles and kept nibbling at it from time to time, in the hope of completing that evil level 26 some day.

libre emulators are my thing and any games that run on them.

Preferably, without internet being used.

Almost none of those games are free software.

If its wine, you are correct in that its a bad idea.

The only libre game I have ever had interest in playing is the bombermaaan one.

That one is actually fun.

Our community values software freedom. In that regard, whether the software is native, runs in Wine (which is free software, by the way) or on top of an emulator makes no difference. If it not free, we do not recommend it: https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/trisquel-community-guidelines

Well in any case, bombermaaan is fun occasionally.

Edit: This one is free software, not sure why I am being thumbed down.

Luanti (previously Minetest) is absolutely awesome. Can be enjoyed online on public or private servers, alternatively it can be enjoyed alone offline. The worlds are mind bogglingly huge, possiblities almost endless.

If you spent 30 minutes to learn it, now its time to spend 300 hours to master it

There's a new and addictive FOSS racing game out called Licar.

Think Trackmania, but the suckless version that can be ported to run on any potato imaginable and can be customized to your heart's extent. Everything about the source code is fully documented and easy to modify.

This is the Tetris (if Tetris was libre) of racing games.

This looks like the long awaited libre reincarnation of Need For Madness.

> Tetris (if Tetris was libre)

That would be Quadrapassel. Or KBlocks.

Sorry, if you want Tetris you play Vitetris :P
And if you want TETRIS, you play Bastet :P or at least suffer through it ahah.

That being said, I have a soft spot for terminal games. Also pacman4console
