I decided to write down a list of complete (no alpha/beta), playable (no proprietary dependencies), FOSS videogames.

I added all the games I could find online + all of the games that came to my memory.

Feel free to have a look to see if there's something you didn't know. And please suggest anything I missed, but please do not suggest pre-release or unfinished games.

Thank you!

EDIT: thank you very much everyone for the comments and for sharing additional awesome lists of FOSS material. Hopefully one day I will have the time to sift through all these games and pick all the non-pre-release ones which don't have any proprietary dependencies.

In the meantime, here's a copy of the links:

LibreGameWiki - A wiki of free games and related topics started by Han Dao.
Open Source Game Clones - Open-source or source-available remakes of great old games in one place.
Open source games (bobeff) - A list of different open-source video games and commercial video games open-source remakes.
Open Source Games (trillarion) - A list of open source games, game frameworks and game creation tools.

A suggestion - open Tyrian

https://github.com/opentyrian/opentyrian

One of the greatest shmups ever, the creator open sourced it a while ago. Still weirdly addictive too, only DOS era game I still play regularly

Holy shit. I played the shit out of this game when I was a kid. I had no idea someone ported it like this.

There's even an android port, although it's pretty hard to do the ship twiddles on touchscreen lol

Hi! Although the engine is free, the game assets seem to be proprietary. Still thanks for sharing the suggestion.
