       While no one would expect this, there are huge efforts from a small
       team to
       bring more games into OpenBSD. In fact, now some commercial games works
       natively now, thanks to Mono or Java. There are no wine or linux
       emulation
       layer in OpenBSD.
       
       Here is a small list of most well known games that run on OpenBSD:
       
       + Northguard (RTS)
       + Darksburg (RTS)
       + Dead Cells (Side scroller action game)
       + Stardew Valley (Farming / Roguelike)
       + Slay The Spire (Card / Roguelike)
       + Axiom Verge (Side scroller, metroidvania)
       + Crosscode (top view twin stick shooter)
       + Terraria (Side scroller action game with craft)
       + Ion Fury (FPS)
       + Doom 3 (FPS)
       + Minecraft (Sandbox - not working using latest version)
       + Tales Of Maj'Eyal (Roguelike with lot of things in it - open source
       and free)
       
       I would also like to feature the recently made compatible games from
       Zachtronics developer, those are ingenious puzzles games requiring
       efficiency.
       There are games involving Assembly code, pseudo code, molecules etc...
       
       - Opus Magnum
       - Exapunks
       - Molek-Syntez
       
       Finally, there are good RPG running thanks to devoted developer
       spending their
       free time working on game engine reimplementation:
       
       - Elder Scroll III: Morrowind (openmw engine)
       - Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 (gemrb engine)
       - Planescape: Torment (gemrb engine)
       
       There is a Peertube (opensource decentralized Youtube alternative)
       channel
       where I started publishing gaming videos recorded from OpenBSD. Now
       there are
       also videos from others people that are published. [OpenBSD Gaming

       The full list of running games is available in the [Shopping guide
       webpage](https://playonbsd.com/shopping_guide/) including information
       how they
       run, on which store you can buy them and if they are compatible.
       
       Big thanks to thfr@ who works hard to keep the shopping guide up to
       date and
       who made most of this possible. Many thanks to all the other people in
       the
       OpenBSD Gaming community :)
       
       All these efforts are important for software conservation over time.
