Play with better settings:
alias robots="robots -ta`for i in {1..10000}; do echo -n n; done`"
Nice timing memory.

Multiplayer shooter.
Looks very promising, but multiplayer only, and no online mode.
TODO architecture. Works over network? Someone is the server?

gnotski
No, Knotski has nothing to do with KDE =)
Also known as connect four.
Warning: this games has been solved, so the program might do perfect play =)
Reversi for KDE.
CS like, but mostly capture the flag.
Good inertia, not too fast.
Free but closed source.
FPS, very large scenarios, cool weapons.
Too fast for my taste.
Lemmings clone.
Includes map designer.
Worms clone, has same feeling. Includes map builder.
Super mario bros clone.
Mario Kart 64 clone.
Turn based unit control on 2D hexagonal map.
Very addictive and time consuming.
Open source, but could be a professionally made game: graphics, music and gameplay.
Includes a map designer.

Version 1.8.0 had the too fast bug: http://askubuntu.com/questions/62611/visual-boy-advanced-emulator-runs-too-fast. Seems unsolved.
0.8.D.3 has not friendly configuration interface, but works well.
F1 for options.
Alt-Shift-1 to configure controller 1.
Backtick ` to fast forward.
Edit ~/.mednafen/mednafen.cfg line command.fast_forward to command.fast_forward keyboard 32.
keyboard values seems to follow http://expandinghead.net/keycode.html
Works very well.
- F1-9: load state
- shift + F1-9: save state
- space: play / pause
Some good games there:
cd
mkdir dos
dosbox game.exe
There are also .bat and .com executables.
Inside the emulator:
mount c /home/$USER/dos
c:
dir
#ls
cd game
game.exe
To avoid mounting every time, put under the [autoexec] section:
echo -e "mount c /home/$USER/dos\nc:" >> ~/.dosbox/dosbox-*.conf
