🕶️ Its UI with a strategy game. The central part is occupied by a map divided into hexagons with pixelart units. The period is medieval, several Mongol units & a trebuchet surround a castle in the center. The units have an icon for easy understanding (mongol, sword, trebuchet, ..), slightly transparent when not selected. The Mongol on horseback on the right of the castle is selected. The castle (named Elephantine) seems to be under siege. On the left of the UI several command buttons (Sleep, Pillage Pasture, Explore, Wait, ..), below the characteristics of the selected unit (Keshik, 2 stars, XP 5/20, ..), in the lower middle a box with what seems to be a report on the selected unit (Keshik vs Elephantine). To the right of the UI, a message area ("The resistance in Sydney has ended!", ..), lower right a mini map. At the top of the interface a hamburger menu, and near it the title "Mongolia". At the top middle several indicators, the period (1520 AD) and on the right an "Overview" button.

📚️ UnCiv is a ~ libre (icons & sounds not all libre), multi-platform, single-player / multi-player (by exchange of "User ID"), turn-based strategy game (4X) & Empire building, inspired by Civilization V: the game starts in 4000 BC Christ, the player directs a nation or an ethnic group, with the aim of supremacy over the other protagonists, leading his group until 2050 AD. It's a neat game that offers in-game help to get started, solo/multiplayer, map editor and game save / load. Very good!

🕶️ An FPS view of Heretic at the start of the game (26 seconds of play), as the player (me) battles Gargoyles in a dark room leading to a flooded square (on the right of the screen). One of the special features of the DSDA-Doom engine is its ability to display the map as a transparent overlay in the top left-hand corner of the screen.

🕶️ A bird's-eye view of my troops at the start of the game, in a modern, war-torn city on the Arabian Peninsula.

📚️ CnCNet is a libre, multi-platform tool that simplifies single-player / multi-player play (on dedicated servers) with the old Command & Conquer titles (and derivatives) on recent hardware. Its installer (based on wine) supports the download and installation of free (C&C 1&2, Red Alert 1) or commercial (other games from CD, but not available for Linux), and apply any patches. The gameplay and balance of the games are unchanged, the cheats are eliminated. Great job making these games accessible in a few clicks!

🕶️ A bird's-eye view of a multiplayer game, featuring 3 factions, the closest to the observer - a red faction, sheltered by a force field is firing and taking heavy cannon fire from the green faction, while in the distance a blue faction is approaching.

📚️ Beyond All Reason is a free, multi-platform, single-player / multi-player RTS with a sci-fi theme, simple metal and energy based economy, and classic gameplay (4X for supremacy on). The player starts with a mecha, draws resources, builds his army and faces adversity. A mature game designed by and for gamers, with scenarios, handpicked maps, over 400 different units designed with great care, a new multithreaded path system and OpenGL 4 support allowing the game to be played with over 10000 units at over 100 FPS in 4K, reworked lights, shadows and fog, a lobby client (also mature, for single-player / multi-player, co-op vs other players and/or AIs, scenarios, rating, content loading, ...).

🕶️ An aerial view of a station located near a factory and a town, with its trains carrying tankers and passengers respectively. Its ballasted rails describe real curves.

📚️ Chris Sawyer's Locomotion is a 2.5D construction and management simulation game in various times (from 1900 to 2006) and places (North America, the United Kingdom and the Alps). The player tries to make his transport company (trains, trams, buses, trucks, ships and planes) prosper against other competitors (IAs) with different secondary objectives depending on the scenarios, in a changing world. OpenLoco is a libre & multi-platform, single-player / multi-player, C++ re-implementation (the original mixed x86 assembly code with the RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 engine) of its engine, derived from that of OpenRCT2.

🕶️ An FPS view (taken from the author's mastodon feed) showing the player armed with a futuristic rifle facing 2 green aliens, one of whom looks like a spider-robot, in a large, dimly-lit futuristic room.

📚️ Quake 2 is the 2nd episode of the series, and an FPS in which the player is Bitterman, a Marine taking part in a counter-offensive of the Earthlings on the planet Stroggos. Most of the soldiers are captured or killed during their approach. Bitterman crashes outside the planned area and is forced to infiltrate the Stroggs' capital alone. Yamagi Quake II is an open source, single/multi (offline co-op), multi-platform port that emphasizes gameplay and graphics fidelity while offering its modernization (OpenGL 3.2, 64-bit, multi-screen support, 7.1 stereo sound, ...). Moreover it offers a good installer that takes care of the automatic loading of the shareware version to get started. A very good tool, easy to use.
