What is your favorite open source Linux game? Mine is Wideland (Best way to describe is the way Settlers 3 should have been)
With the amount of streams I have with modded openxcom, I'm pretty sure I'm already addicted to it.

What are some older/classic games you would like to see remade as "Enhanced Editions" or completely remade for new hardware?
Well, you're in luck, kind of? OpenXCom is a thing, and if you want more gameplay there's Piratez and The X-Com Files.
X-Com: UFO Defense -> OpenXCom is a thing! :-) I put more time in it than Xenonauts, XCom and XCom-2 combined.

The HD mod has not been the recommended way to play the game in maybe seven or eight years. You want VCMI which is an open source reimplementation project similar to projects like OpenTTD, OpenXCom, OpenRA, OpenRCT2, CorsixTH, and OpenMW.

Ask HN: Intellectually stimulating gaming sites for children
When I was around that age, I was really into Final Fantasy and the Dragon Warrior series on the NES. I partially attribute them with developing my reading skills and vocabulary.
NES games might be a hard sell for a kid who's already been exposed to flashier games, but the SNES visuals hold up pretty well, and have some of the best RPGs: Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 6, Secret of Mana, etc. There are also the Pixel Remaster versions of Final Fantasy 1-6 available on PC and modern consoles. Of course, the problem with RPGs is they're mostly about performing violence...
https://shapez.io/ - Shapez is sort of a Factorio-lite. You "mine" shapes, and perform operations on them to satisfy the game's requirements. It starts out pretty simple, but the difficulty ramps up. The demo is playable in the browser.
https://www.openttd.org/ - OpenTTD is essentially a virtual train set. Yes, there are other modes of transportation available, but the trains are where it shines. Might not really be suitable for a child to play solo, it's rather complex.
- Shapez is FREE over at epicgames until 4/13
- If Factorio is college, what games / Minecraft mods would be high school? Elementary? Kindergarten?
- What open source games do you play?
-
So what video games do you play on your Mac?
Just learned about the full version of shapez being available on mac, so I'm getting it later today. You can play the demo at shapez.io it's awesome

Ask HN: Favourite Open Source Game?
shapez.io [1] - It's is great game inspired by Factorio. I would describe it as a minimalist Factorio-light.

Recommend PC games that aren't on Steam
I don't think I saw anyone mention that you can play shapez.io in the browser for free, which is a great chill logistics game.
