I got an open-source based version of Diablo 1 (devilutionx) and Doom (chocolate-doom) running today I'm going to get quite a kick out of these time wasters...

Anyone else have any favorite late 90s/early 2000s PC #games that are easy to get running on Ubuntu? #fossmendations

Here are some classics from that period that are on sale on GOG.com and have open-source engine offerings:

The Curse of Monkey Island (classic funny point-and-click adventure, ScummVM)

Theme Hospital (tongue-in-cheek management sim, corsixth.com/)

Arx Fatalis (would have been Ultima Underworld 3 if they could get the rights, Arx Libertatis)

You can extract the data files using either the newest version of constexpr.org/innoextract/ or using Wine.
