Sauerbraten and HexAddict join the collection
Thanks to the suggestion box, there are two more top-notch freeware games in the collection: Sauerbraten and HexAddict.
When Sauerbraten first came to our attention a couple of years ago, it was more of a game engine than an actual game. You could play it, but it felt like it was primarily a demo of the engine. How times have changed. Sauerbraten is now a full-fledged first-person shooter with incredible graphics that can hold their own with the best of them. Even more amazing is that the whole thing is an open source project built from scratch.
HexAddict is a nicely done version of Minesweeper that, admittedly, had been sitting on the shelf in the thriftmac lab, and somehow got misplaced. Now that we’ve been reminded of its existence, HexAddict has again been put through its paces. In addition to the all the Minesweeper goodness are the background themes that make you even more of an addict. Some particularly good themes are Napoleonic Spy and Ultima. On the other hand you might want to avoid Pure.
