Wow, Don't strike me down but, I seriously thought the CUBE engine was completely dead.
I had really good times with Sauerbraten.

Same here. I really enjoyed this game back in the day. I'm happy to see it still chuggin'.

I vaguely remember playing this game when I was new to Linux. Might be time to give it another go.

They're still going at it! I can't believe it. This was the 2nd fps shooter I played on Ubuntu when I first started using Linux in 2008. The first was Urban Terror (when is the HD for Linux going to be released eh?).

This game, despite the low graphics, was just simply fun. It's strange, when the objectives are clear cut, and it mostly depends on human skill to win, the game becomes vastly more fun for me. Maybe I'm just simple minded :D
