Open Arena
Pentium 166 MHz processor, 64 MB of RAM, 8 MB video card with OpenGL acceleration
OpenArena is a free and open source first-person shooter (FPS) computer game based heavily on the Quake III Arena style deathmatch. The OpenArena project was established on August 19, 2005, the day after the id Tech 3 GPL source code release. It is still in early development.
OpenArena's primary goal is to make a completely free, open source FPS game derived from Quake III. Its game engine is ioquake3, based upon id Software's GPL id Tech 3. In addition, a "missionpack" add-on is planned, to take advantage of the GPL'd Quake III: Team Arena source code.
The newest version of OpenArena 0.8.8 was released on February 20, 2012. The version 0.8.0 was removed because of the non-free content from the previous version.
OpenArena is available from the default repositories of a number of Linux distributions, including Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, Mandriva, and Ubuntu. It is also in development for the Maemo mobile operating system.
