Some really cool non-commercial games too.. in fact.. all of the VERY FIRST
multi-player (graphical) Internet games in existence were only on UN*X/X11
(way back before the original wolfenstien was even around doing it's hokey
serial port and LAN/IPX only game play on Win3.1!)
Some of these oldy-goldy time wasters were:
Netrek: http://www.netrek.org/ http://www.netrek.org/about/2005-newbie.html
xpilot: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XPilot
xtanks: http://documentation.wikia.com/wiki/Xtank/Introduction
and my all time favorite (more current)...
Scorched3D: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scorched_3D
p.s. An interesting read on the history of online games:
