Below are a few screen shots, and a list of games in the First Person Shooter section:
Aleph One is a 3D first-person shooter game based on the game Marathon 2 by Bungie Software. It is set in a Sci-Fi universe dominated by deviant computer AIs and features a well thought-out plot. Aleph One was originally a MacOS game, but a cross-platform version ("Aleph One/SDL") based on the Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) library is currently under development which runs under Unix, BeOS, and Windows.
Cylindrix is a polygonal 3D action strategy shooter. Released for DOS in 1995, it has now been now ported to Windows and Linux.
DooM Legacy is an enhanced port of Doom, the classic first-person shooter from iD Software. It features high screen resolutions, an OpenGL renderer, fullscreen modes under X, client-server architecture for up to 32 players on IP-networks, Quake-style keybindings, a console, and more. It is available for Linux, DOS, and Win32.
Egoboo is a 3D dungeon crawling adventure in the spirit of NetHack with OpenGL graphics.
iMaze is a multi-player network action game for TCP/IP with 3D graphics under X11 in which players runs through a labyrinth, trying to shoot other players and computer-controlled ninjas without being shot by them. It features a sophisticated, reliable network protocol which works even with SLIP connections over modems. Its windows can be freely scaled to avoid speed drawbacks due to poor display performance.
Neohunt is an enhanced variant of hunt, a multiplayer game in which you run around a maze and shoot your friends before they shoot you. It is also an artifact of an earlier age, to be used either as nostalgia (if you remember the eighties) or as an example of how much better things are today (if you don't).
Quake II Open Source is the open source version of the commercial first person shooter Quake II. It has been updated from the commercial version for security, performance, and functionality.
Space Plumber is a 3D game, where you must find and activate the water extraction pumps from a maze of corridors before water level increases, swamping everything.
SpaceAryarya is a platform-style 2D/3D shooting game. The object is to destroy the enemies who come out at you whilst moving around the screen, facing different angles.
