[GRLUG] Linux lanparty

[Kyle]

Sounds like fun.  I've hosted a couple small LAN parties at my house 
before, but have never visited one.

Networked Battle for Wesnoth can be a lot of fun, but it doesn't scale 
well to large groups.  I've found that once you get up to about 4 
players, everyone ends up waiting around quite a bit for the other 
players to finish their turns.

I believe FlightGear supports network play, though I don't know which 
modes.  I always loved playing networked YSFlight, but while it runs on 
Linux, it's not open-source.

BZFlag's pretty well-known for network play.

I've found this site to be extraordinarily helpful for finding games before:

http://www.lgdb.org/list_games

If you run a search on there for Features->Multiplayer and Source->Open, 
there's a pretty decent list to work with.
