A golden oldie; FreeCol, according to the website:

FreeCol is a turn-based strategy game based on the old game Colonization, and similar to Civilization. The objective of the game is to create an independent nation.
You start with only a few colonists defying the stormy seas in their search for new land. Will you guide them on the Colonization of a New World

Synfig

Synfig is a great alternative for Adobe Flash. I’ve been keeping an eye on it for a while now and it really seems to be growing into a serious animation tool.

Tubopac – Pac-man with a twist

Papa.Coen — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 07:56:17 +0000

Tubopac is a remake of Oils Well, a pac-man game with a twist; you have to ’snake’ your way around a maze. Is a somewhat older game, so do not expect too much from the graphics, but a lot from the game-play. If you like arcade games, this one’s for you.

Gondola

Papa.Coen — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 07:46:08 +0000

Gondola is a resource management game with an original scenario; you have to move boxes containing different shapes in different collors to the right islands across the sea. It’s a very adorable little game and very easy to play. The game is pretty basic, I really hope some more time is spend to develop this game into a full blown game.

Some More Older Games

Papa.Coen — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 16:09:13 +0000

Here’s again a list of older, some abandoned games, that would have made great games or still deserve some attention:

The Worminator 3, an oldskool action platform game
Poop ‘m up, a pidgeon sim where you poo on your childhood nemeses
Impossaball, and old remake of an older game
Tetrinet, multiplayer tetris with a twist
Action Doom 2: Urban Brawl, oldskool first person shooter.
Open Outcast is probably dead, but I keep checking it now and again…
Between Heaven And Hell, an adventure game.
Dungeon Digger, A Dungeon Keeper clone, will probably and sadly never be finished.
Blocks, same story.

El Ocaso De Sara

Papa.Coen — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 14:30:23 +0000

El Ocaso De Sara doesn’t look very promising but it doesn’t look very bad either. I’m very curious what will become of this project. The videos of the game (see website) show some nice, classic animated (cut)scenes which attract my interest. The rest of the video makes the game look like yet another quake engine mod. Hardly original.

Rating: Work in progres…

Wormux

Papa.Coen — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 11:49:54 +0000

There’s a new version of Wormux available and this download includes the two levels I built; Crystal and Green Hills. Hooray! I’ve finally left my mark on an open source game and I very much enjoyed making the levels. It’s quite easy, so I’m thinking of completing a third level I started with a while ago. Let’s see if that one also makes the installer.

Talking about levels, Secret Maryo Chronicles is also looking for some new graphics and judging by the current graphics, it’ probably not that hard to make some improvements there.
