Are any MOTU guys looking at games?  I know Wesnoth and Adonthell are
out there, and I'm thinking about the ubuntu-gamers market.

I just stumbled across a production 3D FPS called "Cube," which is open
source and for Linux, Windows, BSD, and MacOSX.  It looks fairly nice,
and it would be nice to see Ubuntu packaging up a few more
redistributable games.

In the line of FPS games, there's also AxionQuake and DeathIllustrated,
which are based on open source code but aren't run from the best sites
and the code is hard to find.  I'm not sure of either in terms of
licensing, although D.I. is cube based; you'll have to ask the site authors.

Digital Paintball (YES.) has GPL source code, not sure on data files.

Also Nexuiz.  Full GPL.

Warsow I'm not sure wtf is going on here but it exists.

Anyway, that's the line-up I can find for First Person Shooter games.
It'd be neat to see these in universe if the MOTU team wants to go at
it; the whole gamer crowd is spaced FAR from Linux because there's no
visible good FPS games here (like Doom3?  XD)
