List of Top Open Source Games

Lately I’ve been compiling a list of the best open source games out on the Internet, partly just for new games to play and partly because I was thinking of contributing to one of the games. It’s amazing how many good quality open source games are available now days. I am Impressed. Anyway, I figured I would share my list so far with all of you. If you know of any other fun and interesting open source games be sure to let me know. So, without further ado, my top ten open source games:

Secret Maryo Chronicles
Type: 2D Platformer

This is one of my favorites. A classic Mario type platform game including great art and a lot of fun. Now, if only the community was more active in developing new levels, enemy types, and game play mechanics. If nothing else you should give this game a try.
