Jumped over Free Space(1998) and Free Space 2(1999), my two favorite space ship flying games. The FS2 engine was released for free, and was the base of the Beyond The Red Line game. BTRL was a great new hash of the space combat, but it didn't pan out.
Dam, when I was young, the Shevian battle was epic. You do a massive campaign, then realize it was the tip of the iceberg. Shit got hard fast.
Yep. Another vote for XMage. It's more or less what you want and it's open source.
So if you want to contribute and fix up the mechanisms of some cards, basically all you need is an understanding of Magic's rules interactions and Java.
Here's the "I just want to download and play" page.
Here's the project page on github.
And if you want, you can poke around the source for individual cards here (broken into sets).
Example:
public class Thoughtseize extends CardImpl {
private static final FilterCard filter = new FilterCard("nonland card");
static { filter.add(Predicates.not(new CardTypePredicate(CardType.LAND))); }
public Thoughtseize(UUID ownerId) { super(ownerId, 145, "Thoughtseize", Rarity.RARE, new CardType[]{CardType.SORCERY}, "{B}"); this.expansionSetCode = "LRW";
// Target player reveals his or her hand. You choose a nonland card from it. That player discards that card. You lose 2 life. this.getSpellAbility().addTarget(new TargetPlayer()); this.getSpellAbility().addEffect(new DiscardCardYouChooseTargetEffect(filter, TargetController.ANY)); this.getSpellAbility().addEffect(new LoseLifeSourceControllerEffect(2)); }
public Thoughtseize(final Thoughtseize card) { super(card); }
@Override public Thoughtseize copy() { return new Thoughtseize(this); } }

You have to be trolling me at this point. How does this in any way stack up to this?
I understand the fact that contractors are afforded more, but that's more for the convenience of an employer to not withhold social security and other employee benefits, as well as only asking the contractor to work on a project to project basis.

Kinda like how consoles don't support all games?
Game counts:
xbox 1: 628
ps4: 1044
Linux: 1900
Keep in mind the entire concept of PPAs is currently (AFAIK) limited to Ubuntu only. For example, Debian has 0ad already included in the main repositories, so you don't have to . You're better off browsing a site like LGDB, then once you find a game you're interested in, do some googling or head to its homepage to figure out the easiest way to install it on Ubuntu. However, to more directly answer your question (and this may be over your head(but I don't work with Ubuntu enough to explain it well)), it looks like its possible to automagically add all currently available PPAs via shell script. See a relevant Q&A here.
I'm not sure if the results are accurate, but did you try the Linux game database?
Waaaaay back in middle school (talking like 2001), there was this awesome game called RuneScape that everyone was playing in computer class when the teacher wasn't looking. It was cool because it played in the browser and it looked vaguely like a game made out of construction paper worlds and people who always faced you when you spun about. (They call this version "RuneScape Classic" now, btw. Oh, btw, RuneScape is still a thing. I haven't played it in years, but they're still adding stuff, and recently there was a big kerfuffle over the fact that Chrome is removing Java support, meaning you can't play it in Chrome any more.)
Anyhow, when I signed up for that game back before everyone knew who Osama Bin Laden was, I had to make up a user name. Being clever, I decided that using my favorite name "Justin", but with the J replaced with the first letter of my name, a T, was so clever and unique.
But it was taken... So I decided to add my favorite number onto the end, a 21! But that was also taken... Well, clearly they wouldn't have gotten up to TWO 21's at the end!
Thus tustin2121 was born, a username I have kept with me throughout all my horrible horrible internet adventures, including one stint I'll never forget when I was about 14 at a site [REDACTED], which ~~thankfully has been forever wiped away by a database crash they had some years back~~. Wait, nope, it's still there, under a modified name. Nvm. I was stupid back then, regardless. :/
For FPS - Look Here
Really, I have WAY to many games that I'm not going to list everything here. Just look through lgdb.org and see for yourself just how many native Linux games there really are.
But that is what they did. Check out these screen shots.
They've done a lot to break up the grid look, and it's not even clear where tile borders are. You can see a lot of details repeating, but the repetition is clearly random. But the general style and structure of each tile is similar enough that you can copy a lot, or it's just generally easier to make them together.
Maybe it would be more accurate to say You can copy one tile and just move things around or change a bunch of things.
Eternal Lands is sort of like Runescape but totally free and (if you know how) you can help make Quests and such for it. In my opinion, it's not that bad.
Here are more RPGs
Have Fun!
GOG and Desura are good places to look for non-Steam native Linux games. You can also look around your package manager, which was the original place to find them.
Other places you might want to investigate include
http://www.gamingonlinux.com/ http://www.linuxgames.com/ (note that a lot of the hosted sites are dead or outdated) http://www.lgdb.org/
I'd dualboot just for some games that won't have decent support.
But in general quite a lot of games are available - the main omissions IMO are the Unreal engine and the TES series.
Check: http://www.lgdb.org/
There're no space 4x games that I know of And 100% for sure no mech games (though there aren't many computer mech games on any platform)
To look for a game for a genre, look at the lgdb database and filter by subgenre: http://www.lgdb.org/games
or check those lists to find more lnx games
thats probably because the game doesn't support Xinput anyway my old DirectInput/Dinput controller (Logitech RumblePad 2) has no problem with FlatOut it works even better than with the native Xinput supporting Steam games
So you either need a wrapper for your Xinput device(afaik xborxdrv can do that) or you need to buy a direct input controller there are also a few controllers wich can use both input methods (eg: https://support.logitech.com/en_us/product/7360 )
you can also use keyboard wrappers http://www.lgdb.org/tools#1941 but you will lose all axis
Xonotic - Fast-paced FPS
Unknown Horizons - RTS
Star Conflict - Space Combat Game (multiplayer only)
Fistful Of Frags - Multiplayer FPS game - wild west themed
check also: http://www.lgdb.org/games - you can filter by "Free"
It has an emulator for pretty much everything.

If you like Point & Click Adventures:
Here are some GNU\Linux versions you missed:
dolpjin runs great, PCSX2 on the other hand is a really poor emulator: no multithreading, no 64bit support and the ogl render is years behind the directx one.
If you are more intrested in emulators check out the LGDB emulator list:

I'm not completely sure what you mean by the character facing the user.
There's Awesome Soccer that reminds me of 90s Fifa games. The players can face the camera. Though they aren't facing it all the time. It depends on what direction you run in.
There are a few soccer games on there where the player faces the camera. I have no idea if it's 2D or 3D though.
If you're asking for a Unity game specifically that's a real long shot. There are extremely few open source Unity games to begin with. Never mind in the sports category. Those are extremely rare.
There is Linux Games Database, you know?
Just saying :)
There are plenty of Racing Games. What you mean is that there are none you want to play or no AAA Racing Games; that's what you really mean. I've seen all kinds of Racing Games like:
- Little Racers Street
- Monster Minis Extreme Off-Road
- RC Mini Racers
- FlatOut
Heck I even play NFSIII: Hot Pursuit through a PS1 Emulator. There's also three pages over here of Racing Games.
So that's enough with this "no racing games" stuff. It's redundant.
Thanks for the feedback man! My intention was not to build a big database like http://www.lgdb.org/, but a simple repository for my packages. On each game you have a link to the game's website and to the LGDB node (if available). However I should indeed add at least screenshots.
Here's a list of other tools that can be used to run in ScummVM
And if you're not into it, maybe one of these will strike your fancy.
Almost all of them. Haven't you look in your repositories yet?
http://www.lgdb.org/distribution
I play two free games on Steam; Team Fortress 2 and No More Room In Hell.
There's not many open-source, actively developed MMOs afaik. Here are a few...
Depends on whether or not they need to be open-source and whether or not you don't mind buying them.
If "no" to both questions, then there are plenty of options on Steam, including Counterstrike, Half Life 2: Deathmatch, and Serious Sam 3 (HL2DM being particularly fun for a small group; nothing beats killing other players by throwing toilets at them with gravity-manipulating weaponry). There's also Minecraft, of course, which runs on pretty much anything that supports Java SE and 3D graphics.
If "yes" to either, then I really can't recommend Warzone 2100 enough, though 10+ might be a stretch (it's a RTS title, though I think it does support a very large number of players as far as RTS games go).
If "yes" to just the first, and not necessarily the second, you could go with pretty much any of id's games up until the mid-2000's, including the good ol' Doom and Quake (Doom in particular should have lots of options in the repositories). You just need to get your hands on the non-shareware WADs, which typically aren't included.
If "yes" to just the second, then Fistful of Frags is incredibly fun.
Basically, it sounds like you're going for arena/deathmatch style games, in which case there's plenty of them on the Linux game database.
Borderlands 2 and Skyrim work great with Wine install them with PlayOnLinux too make it easier. TF2 and Game Dev Tycoon are both available on Steam for Linux. As for Day Z it does not work great with Wine. Now for recommendations as good as Wine is, I recommend mainly playing native Linux games. If you like FPS games and not just TF2, on Steam you could try All other Valve games except CS:GO. There are also some high quality completely free open source FPS games for Linux like Warsow, Sauerbraten, Assault Cube, Xonotic, Red Eclipse and Unvanquished to name a few. Simulation/strategy games like Game Dev Tycoon, on Steam you could try Prison Architect, Project Zomboid, FTL, Democracy 3, Pixel Piracy and Spacebase DF-9. http://www.lgdb.org/ is a great site, a database of most games on Linux and emulators :D
The short answer is, nothing. Micropolis is the closest thing if you want SimCity, other than using Wine. You could browse around LGDB and find something similar if you are insistent on native Games.
