I want to host some LAN parties this winter, and am looking for some Free Software Games that would be a fun time. We already play some Counterstrike and StarCraft 2, but I want to expand into some actual Free games. Windows compatibility is a must, MacOS compatibility is desirable!
The two on my radar are:
- Hedgewars, which seems like a strong candidate. We played a ton of Worms 2 in the 90s
- 0 A.D., since we’re already fans of RTS games.
But I know there must be some wacky ones out there which would be suitable for 30 minutes of pick up play.

all of them
we always had fun with WC3 custom maps, although that takes a bit of setup and idk about mac compatibility
if you’ve got controllers there’s always MAME and a million other emulators for some good old arcade/console multiplayer, that Simpson’s beat-em-up and Soul Calibur have always been a hit
the first 2 or 3 Quakes are open source now
Since no ones mentioned it yet, Super Tux Kart should work. Its available cross platform, and you can host LAN games if Im remembering right, and it should be fun for 30 minutes of pick up play.
