Free Software Games for LAN parties? (hexbear.net)

I want to host some LAN parties this winter, and am looking for some Free Software Games that would be a fun time. We already play some Counterstrike and StarCraft 2, but I want to expand into some actual Free games. Windows compatibility is a must, MacOS compatibility is desirable!

The two on my radar are:

  • Hedgewars, which seems like a strong candidate. We played a ton of Worms 2 in the 90s
  • 0 A.D., since we're already fans of RTS games.

But I know there must be some wacky ones out there which would be suitable for 30 minutes of pick up play.

The Mechwarrior 4 mektek pack is still out there somewhere if you like big stompy robots.

Liero is pretty oldschool, but it was a fan favorite back in the day.

Liero is one of the all-time best games! Cool to see that there's progress being made towards making it a Free game. https://www.liero.be/

I think I still have all the Mektek packs somewhere, I wasted a ton of time on that in the mid 00s
