Pioneers is an Internet playable implementation of the Settlers of Catan
board game. The aim is to remain as faithful to the board game as
possible.
It replaces the very old, unmaintained and broken gnocatan program.

Atomix is a little mind game where you have to build molecules out of
single atoms. These are laying around between the walls and obstacles
on the playfield. Once you have pushed an atom in one direction it
moves until it hits an obstacle or another atom. It needs some thinking
how to construct complex molecules with this atom behaviour. The game
is inspired by the original Amiga version.

Amoebax is a free multi-platform match-3 puzzle game where the objective

who is the amoebas' master.

A free OpenGL game based on the Super Nintendo classic Tetris Attack.
Slowly, your stack of blocks grows from the bottom, and you've got to
make sure it never reaches the top. Because, once it does, you lose!
To eliminate blocks from the stack, line up at least three of one color,
horizontally or vertically.
To add to the excitement, chunks of red garbage will fall from above. It
is impossible to eliminate this garbage directly. However, if you
eliminate any blocks which are touching the garbage, the garbage will
shatter into normal, run-of-the-mill blocks.

Widelands is an economic and military simulation game. The map is shown
in parallel perspective with 3-dimensional terrain. Buildings and units
are animated. The player controls a tribe. Land is claimed and held by
military presence and then used to build an economy to support military
expansion and confrontation. The project is a work in progress where
much remains to be done; computer players and multiplayer are in very
early stages of development. Some features that have already been
implemented are exploration, fog of war, sound effects, background
music, adjustable simulation speed, a few tutorial campaigns,
translations to several languages, and a map editor.

Belote is a popular 32-card trick-taking game played in France.
It derived around 1920, probably via Clobyosh, from Klaverjassen, a game
played since at least the 1600s in the Netherlands. Closely related
games are played throughout the world.
Within the game's terminology, belote is used to designate a pair of a
King and a Queen of a trump suit, possibly yielding the game's name
itself.

Warzone 2100 was an innovative 3D real-time strategy game back in 1999,
and most will agree it didn't enjoy the commercial success it could
have had. The game's source code was liberated on December 6th,
2004, under a GPL license. Soon after that, the Warzone 2100 ReDev
project was formed to take care of its future.

FreeDroidRPG is a free isometric RPG game inspired by elements of Diablo
and Fallout. Originally based on FreeDroid Classic, this project now has
vastly deviated from its parent.
This game tells the story of a world destroyed by a conflict between the
bots and their human masters. Play as Tux in a quest to save the world
from the murderous rebel bots who know no mercy...
... Or maybe just spend your time wandering around the land while the
people are slaughtered. You get to choose which path you wish to follow,
and freedom of choice is everywhere in the game.
FreeDroidRPG comes with an innovative system of magic, with features
such as forced casting and over 20 spells. You can use over 50 different
kinds of items and fight countless enemies on your way to your destiny.
We have an advanced dialogue system, with it's aim to be at least on par
with Fallout's. Our battle engine supports both ranged and close combat
in real time. Finally, if guns are too inaccurate and blades too messy,
you can always take over your enemies and have them fight on your side.

Barrage is a rather violent action game with the objective to kill and
destroy as many targets as possible within 3 minutes. The player
controls a gun that may either fire small or large grenades at
soldiers, jeeps and tanks. It is a very simple gameplay though it is
not that easy to get high scores.

Xscorch is a clone of the classic DOS game, "Scorched Earth". The basic
goal is to annihilate enemy tanks using overpowered guns. Basically, you
buy weapons, you target the enemy by adjusting the angle of your turret
and firing power, and you hope to destroy their tank before they destroy
yours.
network games are still a bit fishy..
