This list is a little old, so some of the links may not work anymore, but overall it’s still a pretty solid compendium for any budget concious Linux (or Windows) gamer!

A few personal recommendations here: Xonotic is the most engrossing quake clone I’ve ever played. The gameplay is fabulous and it would run on a potato. Definitely check it out if you like arena shooters.
Also people who bounced off FreeCiv for its somewhat dated mechanics (I believe it’s most similar to Civ 2 in terms of gameplay), might enjoy Unciv. It’s a FOSS porr of Civilization 5 and the last time I played it a few years back it appeared to be almost feature complete in terms of parity with its inspiration.
Lastly nethack is hard as nails and I’ve never been able to finish it. Good game though!
Added UnCiv to the list, thanks for the suggestion! Plays really well on my phone, surprisingly.
Yeah it’s very good. Written in java so Android is a first class citizen but it runs well on desktop too.
They did a really good job with the GUI too.
