1. SuperTuxKart

I really like this game because it’s basically just FOSS Mario Kart. It has a lot of gamemodes, an (admittedly simple) kart stat system, many tracks and a lot of mods.

  1. OpenTTD

In OpenTTD, you transport cargo and people to different places. You can transport them using trains, buses, aeroplanes (airplanes if your American), boats and trams if you add a NewGRF (a mod). It is very addictive and it is quite easy to get into (except the signals).

  1. Pingus

It’s FOSS Lemmings with penguins.

  1. Extreme Tux Racer

You play as Tux (or someone else) and slide yourself through terrain while you collect fish. It is fun, however I’ve found that it can get a bit repetitive. You can design levels, however it’s a bit hard to do.

  1. SuperTux

It’s 2D Mario with a penguin. BEST GAME EVER.

    Speaking of Super Tux, I hope some day in the future that a guy, Kelvin Shadewing on yt, finishes his SuperTux Advance. Just playing what is currently available, currently just for windows, blows away SuperTux, at least in my opinion.

    SuperTux is great in it’s own way, but I love Advance better because of QOL things like being able to run and also having different playable characters with different abilities. If running is available in the original, I sure have not been able to figure it out, either keyboard or gamepad.

    Though, will say I absolutely love SuperTuxKart because of all the custom content for the game that adds so much.

      As far as I remember, holding fire while moving will make SuperTux run. Similar to the popular platformer which-must-not-be-named from the NES (which likely only did it like that because the controller had only 2 buttons).

      SuperTux Advance

      For reference, this is the github: https://github.com/KelvinShadewing/supertux-advance

      It uses a cross-platform engine (Brux GDK), in theory you just run game.brx from the Brux engine. Is it really Windows only? …that’d be weird for a Tux game.

        Pretty sure for now it’s just being developed for windows if you want prebuilt executables, but I’m sure with the source code it’s possible to make it work with another OS like Linux, but that’s beyond my pay grade.

        No idea about running it from the Brux engine, but I can certainly try later because I would love to play it on my laptop.
