"Although work with OpenBSD never seases to be fun, i sometimes wonder what games can be run on an OpenBSD box. I havent tried alot myself, but it could be fun to find out how much people are using it for gaming."I have to admit I've lost a lot of hours playing dopewars , a bunch of Zork via zoom , and bzflag (from a test port) . However, /usr/ports/games is pretty slim pickings. Anyone have any favorites that don't appear there?

bzflag rocks. it's a 3d, multiplayer tank war game. unfortunately performance really sucks without DRI. (homepage is www.bzflag.org)

just remember to edit the makefile so you get color (should be a hint as to how old this is).

Someone made a port. Again, it sucks without DRI.

Porters are spending time to create ports but there is few people who test and report on it. So guys if you want more stuff in the tree give feedback !

(The volunteer servers are always a variety of different systems, bt all the stuff we provide from /dev/null runs OpenBSD.)
I've been a lot more confortableabout running public logins for the Tournament since we moved onto OpenBSD from SunOS. ;-)

Marathon is the greatest game ever (with maybe the exception of Escape Velocity), and now we BSDers can submit to the addiction that is Marathon!

Medal Of Honor (hopefully Spearhead, if Ryan C. Gordon (http://icculus.org) can get something out soon), Neverwinter Nights, Castle Wolfenstein, Jedi Knight 2 (painful to run with linux emu), almost anything compiled for linux can be run, that's great because I only have OpenBSD servers...
