**Advice on [cloning](clone.md) games**: copy only the gameplay mechanics, otherwise make it original and very different from the cloned game or else you're threading the fine legal lines. See this as an opportunity to add something new, something that's yours, and potentially to apply and exploit [minimalism](minimalism.md), i.e. if you're going to clone Doom, do not make a game about shooting demons from hell that's called Gnoom -- just take the gameplay and do something new, e.g. why not try to make it a mix of sci-fi and fantasy with procedurally generated levels which will additionally save you a lot of time on level design?
## Nice Gaymes
## Nice And Notable Gaymes
Here let be mentioned some nice games that are somewhat close to [LRS](lrs.md), at least by some considerations.
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.
**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) etcetc. -- these are usually quite [bloated](bloat.md) though.
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 **non-computer games**: these are usually closer to LRS than any computer game. Many old board games are awesome, including [chess](chess.md), [go](go.md), [shogi](shogi.md), [xiangqi](xiangqi.md), [backgammon](backgammon.md), [checkers](cheskers.md) etc. Some card games also, TODO: which ones? :) Pen and pencil games that are amazing include [racetrack](racetrack.md), pen and pencil football etc. Nice real life physics games include [football](football.md), [marble racing](marble_racing.md) etc.
