Thinking back I can probably list all the open source games I've enjoyed on one hand. Shattered Pixel Dungeon is the one I enjoy daily, also enjoyed the predecessor. Play it every time I'm on the toilet. ;) Konquest was a really fun old game that came with KDE back in the late 90s, early 2000s. I assume it was open source, I was just a kid playing it. Nethack of course, enjoyed many hours in that dungeon. Doom counts right? I played a lot of Doom in the 90s and it's open source now. Quake too I believe. Edit: How the hell could I forget Cataclysm: Dark days ahead. This is a hard list to make, partly because I love open source and there are so few titles I've enjoyed on a regular basis.

Doom is not an open content game. Neither is Quake.

  Both have open source imitations; I think.

    You need the wads (where's all the data). If you have doom on steam, you can compile something like GZDoom, and copy the wads from steam over

      Of course, but even Romero has released free WADs so content is not an issue for true Doom fanatics.

      Doomsday is great (apart from the occasional segfault at the end of a level). It works well with Steam files and it has its own launcher so you can customize things easily.

  FreeDoom is an open source game running on the Doom engine, but no, Doom's assets were never open sourced. Quake III Arena had Open Arena, which was an open source clone. Did anybody ever do anything similar with the original Quake engine?

I played HEAPS of Konquest back in the day.
