Shattered Pixel Dungeon is a Roguelike RPG, with pixel art graphics and lots of variety and replayability. Every game is unique, with four different playable characters, randomized levels and enemies, and over 150 items to collect and use. The game is simple to get into, but has lots of depth. Strategy is required if you want to win!
      This game is based on the freely available source code of Pixel Dungeon. It began as a project to improve on the original game's quirks, but has since evolved into a separate game, with many unique features.
      Shattered Pixel Dungeon includes:
      
        High replayability: Randomly generated levels, enemies, and items. No two games are the same!
        4 hero classes: Warrior, Mage, Rogue, and Huntress. Each hero has a unique playstyle.
        8 subclasses: Successful heroes can refine their skills to become more powerful.
        5 distinct dungeon regions: each with their own enemies, traps, and quests.
        Over 150 different items: including powerful wands, rings, weapons, and armor.
        50+ different enemies, 30 different traps, and 5 bosses to test your skills.
        Unique artifacts, which grow in power as you use them.
        Updates, with new content roughly once a month.
      
      Shattered Pixel Dungeon is a 100% free game. There are no advertisements, microtransactions, or paywalls. An optional donation to support the game unlocks a couple of fun extras, but these are entirely cosmetic and do not affect gameplay.

      OpenRA is a project that recreates and modernizes the classic Command &amp; Conquer real time strategy games. We have developed a flexible open source game engine (the OpenRA engine) that provides a common platform for rebuilding and reimagining classic 2D and 2.5D RTS games (the OpenRA mods).
    
      
      The OpenRA mods include new features and gameplay improvements that bring them into the modern era:
    
      
        A choice between “right click” and classic “left click” control schemes
        Overhauled sidebar interfaces for managing production
        Support for game replays and an observer interface designed for streaming games online
        The “fog of war” that obscures the battlefield outside your units' line of sight
        Civilian structures that can be captured to provide benefits
        Units gain experience as they fight and improve when they earn new ranks
      
      
      OpenRA is 100% free, and comes bundled with three distinct mods. When you run a mod for the first time the game can automatically download the original game assets, or you can use the original game disks.

The FreeCol team aims to create an Open Source version of Colonization (released under the GPL). At first we'll try to make an exact clone of Colonization. The visuals will be brought up to date with more recent standards but will remain clean, simple and functional. Certain new 'features' will be implemented but the gameplay and the rules will be exactly the same as the original game. Examples of modern features are: an isometric map and multiplayer support.This clone will be developed incrementally and result in FreeCol 1.0.0 which will be an almost exact Colonization clone. Incremental development basically means that we'll add features one at a time. This allows us to have a running program at all times and also to release an unfinished but working game once in a while.Once FreeCol 1.0.0 is finished we'll start working towards FreeCol 2.0.0. FreeCol 2 will go beyond the original Colonization and will have many new features, it will be an implementation of our (and our users') image of what Colonization 2 would have been.
