## Nice And Notable Gaymes
Of [proprietary](proprietary.md) video games we should mention especially those that for us have [clonning](clone.md) potential. [Doom](doom.md) (possibly also [Wolfenstein 3d](wolf3d.md)) and other 90s shooters such as [Duke Nukem 3D](duke3d.md), Shadow Warrior and [Blood](blood.md) were excellent. [Trackmania](trackmania.md) is a very interesting racing game like no other, based on kind of [speedrunning](speedrun.md), [easy to learn, hard to master](easy_to_learn_hard_to_master.md), very entertaining even solo. The Witness was a pretty rare case of a good newer game. The Elder Scrolls are very captivating [RPG](rpg.md) games like no other, with extreme emphasis on [freedom](freedom.md) and lore; [Pokemon](pokemon.md) games on [GBC](gbc.md) and [GBA](gba.md) were similar in this while being actually pretty tiny games on small old handhelds. [GTA](gta.md) games also offered a great open world freedom and fun based on violence. Advance Wars was a great turn based strategy on [GBA](gba.md) (and possibly one of the best games on that console). Warcraft III was possibly the best real time strategy game with awesome aesthetics. Legend of Grimrock (one and two) is another rare case of actually good new take on an old concept of [dungeon crawlers](dungeon_crawler.md). TODO: more.

[Trackmania](trackmania.md) is a very interesting racing game like no other, based on kind of [speedrunning](speedrun.md), [easy to learn, hard to master](easy_to_learn_hard_to_master.md), very entertaining even solo. The Witness was a pretty rare case of a good newer game, set on a strange island with puzzles the player learns purely by observation. [The Elder Scrolls](tes.md) (mainly Morrowind, Obvlidion and Skyrim) are very captivating [RPG](rpg.md) games like no other, with extreme emphasis on [freedom](freedom.md) and lore; [Pokemon](pokemon.md) games on [GBC](gbc.md) and [GBA](gba.md) were similar in this while being actually pretty tiny games on small old handhelds. [GTA](gta.md) games also offered a great open world freedom and fun based on violence, sandbox world and great gangster-themed story. Advance Wars was a great turn based strategy on [GBA](gba.md) (and possibly one of the best games on that console), kind of glorified [chess](chess.md) with amazing pixel art graphics. Warcraft III was possibly the best real time strategy game with awesome aesthetics. Its successor, [World of Warcraft](wow.md), is probably the most notable [MMORPG](mmorpg.md) with the same lovely aesthetics and amazing feel that would be worth bringing over to the free world (even if just in 2D or only [text](mud.md)). Legend of Grimrock (one and two) is another rare case of actually good new take on an old concept of [dungeon crawlers](dungeon_crawler.md). Half Life games are also notable especially for their atmosphere, storyline and lore. [Minecraft](minecraft.md) was another greatly influential game that spawned basically a new genre, though we have now basically a perfect clone called [Minetest](minetest.md). [Dward Fortress](dwarf_fortress.md) is also worth mentioning as the "most complex simulation ever made" -- it would be nice to have a free clone. TODO: more.
As for the [free (as in freedom)](free_software.md) game, let the following be a sum up of some nice games that are somewhat close to [LRS](lrs.md), at least by some considerations.
As for the [free (as in freedom)](free_software.md) libre games, let the following be a sum up of some nice games that are somewhat close to [LRS](lrs.md), at least by some considerations.
**Computer games:** [Anarch](anarch.md) and [microTD](utd.md) are examples of games trying to closely follow the [less retarded](lrs.md) principles while still being what we would normally call a computer game. [SAF](saf.md) is a less retarded game library/fantasy console which comes with some less retarded games such as [microTD](utd.md). If you want something closer to the mainstream while caring about freedom, you probably want to check out libre games (but keep in mind they are typically not so LRS and do suck in many ways). Some of the highest quality among them are [Xonotic](xonotic.md), 0 A.D., [openarena](openarena.md), [Freedoom](Freedoom.md), Neverball, SupertuxKart, [Minetest](minetest.md), The Battle for Wesnoth, Blackvoxel etcetc. -- these are usually quite [bloated](bloat.md) though.
