This game expands the ancient Chinese board game Go into three dimensions using a tetrahedral structure that preserves some of the important topological features of normal Go. Instead of taking turns players shoot the stones into the rotating lattice against a computer opponent. Uses openGL heavily, and works much better with a fast graphics card. Network play supported.

Additional System Requirements: Fast 3D graphics card strongly reccomended.

Avoid The Roid is a multiplayer asteroids like game originally based on Maelstrom for Linux. You have a ship that you move around, shooting asteroids or other ships and collect powerups. The game has a single player mode as well as several multiplayer modes and runs on Linux, Windows 2000/XP, and possibly other OSes.

The gameplay of Avoid The Roid 3D is very similar to asteroids. In single player mode, the player moves his ship around, trying to shoot all the asteroids without running into any asteroids. The asteroids show up as light gray dots on the radar when they are in front of you and dark gray dots when they are behind you. The enemy ships show up as light red dots when they are in front of you and dark red dots when they are behind you.

Avoid The Roid also has several multiplayer modes.

This is an implementation of an African board game reminiscent of Mancala. The board contains twelve holes, each containing some number of stones. The object is to capture your opponent's stones by moving stones around according to the rules. I found the interface to be a bit buggy.
