Sup. Copy-pasta-ing from my other forum. Copying-pasta. Whatever.
Cave Story - Megaman had a baby with Metroid, and so came Cave Story. An amazing game. :consored: adorable.
http://www.miraigamer.net/cavestory/
Dwarf Fortress- I Have no clue what I'm doing but :consored: if it's not addicting
http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/
Star Control 2 - One of the most epic Space Games ever made. Explore the Galaxy, collect Minerals across countless planets, upgrade your ship, and save Mankind from the Ur-Quan.
http://sc2.sourceforge.net/
Elona - Not quite sure how to explain it. A good rpg(?). Well worth a look.
http://homepage3.nifty.com/rfish/index_e.html
Marathon - A stylish Doom-Like Shooter, but with a little more bang in the buckshot. An imaginative and evocative Science-Fiction tale. Takes time to get rolling, but ends with a bang.
http://source.bungie.org/
FreeCiv - A Open Source Civilization game. A basic mish-mash of all the best features. Give the game a try if you've never played the series before. Addiction 85% guaranteed.
http://freeciv.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page
Warning Forever - A space shooter that's nothing but bosses. The boss evolves to take advantage of your play style depending on where you attack it from, what guns killed you, and how you're attacking.
http://www18.big.or.jp/~hikoza/Prod/index_e.html
Burning Sand 2 - IMO, one of the best of the "falling sand" genre. This one's still in beta, but it's got a lot of features. You need a mouse with scroll wheel and middle click.
http://siebn.de/burningsand2/game/
Zen Bondage - This is a really good game to chill out and calm down with. You're given a wooden block of several different shapes, and the object is to wrap string around all of the flat surfaces. It's hard to explain - watch the video on the linked page. The people who made it's page is down, but you can grab it here:
http://www.fun-motion.com/physics-games/zen-bondage/
Armagetron Advanced - "Tron 2.0 (or 3.0)". This has been the tagline of Armagetron, since, well, a very long time, and is probably the shortest and most accurate description possible. Tron was an arcade game based on the movie of the same name, release by Disney in 1982. The original game consisted of 4 sub-games, the only one of concern is the 'Light Cycles' one, in which the player uses a left/right joystick to control a 'Light Cycle' which leaves a wall behind it wherever the cycle it goes, turning only at 90 degree angles...
http://armagetronad.net/
Chalk - A fun game where you draw over your enemies in various ways to defeat them. Why this hasn't been ported over to the DS is beyond me.
http://www.konjak.org/chalk.htm
Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden, Chapter 1 of the Hoopz Barkley SaGa
NO :consored: WORDS
http://www.gamingw.net/forums/index.php?topic=68488.0
Untitled Story - A non-linear platformer, can be a bit esoteric in some areas.
http://gmc.yoyogames.com/index.php?showtopic=323971
Abandoned - A maze explorer game, can be confusing in some places.
http://gmc.yoyogames.com/index.php?showtopic=395761&st=0
Transcendence - is what is what happened when Asteroids and Roguelikes had a baby. Choose a ship and pimp it out and hope you don't die. Trade, escort, kill(mostly kill) etc. to make money and get rewards until your humble ship is armed to the teeth with an array of tech bought, stolen, or salvaged from the many different factions.
http://neurohack.com/transcendence/
Here's a game I just found, Spelunky.
Complex little fucker, here. It's like Nethack but in platformer form.
http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=4017.0
HUGE MULTIPLAYER RHYTHM GAME. With user-created content. Sure, it's has a client and all that, which doesn't really make it freeware or opensource, but damn if you don't have fun with it.
http://osu.ppy.sh/
Fantastic Contraption: It's like Crayon Physics, but smarter, and less frustratingly retarded.
http://fantasticcontraption.com/
Super Mario Stardust is one of the good Mario clones that lets you use the cape and fireflower at the same time.
http://mfgg.net/index.php?act=resdb¶m=02&c=2&id=10781
Remember the sidescrolling Bowser bits in Paper Mario 2? Well, somebody decided to be cool and make 2 games based around them! The first allows for play as both Bowser and Kammy Koopa (and has a secret level!), while G.R.O.M. focuses more on Bowser.
Paper Boswer World
http://mfgg.net/index.php?act=resdb¶m=02&c=2&id=5056
Paper Bowser World: Operation G.R.O.M.
http://mfgg.net/index.php?act=resdb¶m=02&c=2&id=13615
超連射68K. Very, very good vertical shooting game. GOD I SUCK AT THESE BUT I LOVE THEM SO MUCH
http://www2.tky.3web.ne.jp/~yosshin/my_works/
Galshell: Horizontal shooter. Incredible music and grotesquely Japanese sprites. Don't let the slow pacing fool you, it can get pretty frantic at times, especially when white turd worms fill up the screen in an elaborate web of death.
http://akiragoya.sakura.ne.jp/game/galshell_01/
The Battle for Wesnoth. Gameplay's solid, one of the better opensource games I've played actually, but the sprites are way below decent. Way below. Like deviantart Sonichu below.
http://www.wesnoth.org/

Well, since russianguyovic already linked Wesnoth, I guess I'll just link Megamek, a java clone of the awesome classic Battletech wargame. (note, it'll be much easier to understand the game once you get your hands on the Classic Battletech introductory rules free pdf download)
Also, for those with a classic gaming itch to scratch, I'd also recommend Abandonia which hosts a lot of classic games from the 80's and 90's. Some real good :consored: out there, and a great way to track the evolution of gaming trends.

http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/Boatmurdered/
It's a story of a Dwarf Fortress game. It's about a legendary fortress called Boatmurdered.  Read it and learn its lesson well. All your problems can be solved by flooding it with lava.
