clone of the legendary first person shooter Doom
Doom is a 3d shoot'em'up game, written by id Software, first released in 1993.
PrBoom is a version of Doom using the Simple Direct Media layer (SDL) library, which enables it to use XFree86, OpenGL, Linux framebuffer console, GGI, SVGALib or even color or monochrome text consoles as display. There is an additional OpenGL renderer as well.
PrBoom is based on MBF and LxDoom, which in turn are based on Boom, a freely available port of Doom for DOS, written by TeamTNT (http://www.teamtnt.com/).
PrBoom requires an IWAD to play. A free IWAD is available in the freedoom package. You can install your commercial Doom IWADs using game-data-packager.

highly configurable system monitor for X based on torsmo
Conky is a system monitor for X originally based on the torsmo code. Since its original conception, Conky has changed a fair bit from its predecessor. Conky can display just about anything, either on your root desktop or in its own window. Conky has many built-in objects, as well as the ability to execute programs and scripts, then display the output from stdout. Maemo5: The initial port for maemo5 is intended to be run as a standalone app and not yet as a desktop widget. The default config has been reworked for suitability for the N900 platform. The launcher checks for the file /home/user/MyDocs/conky.conf and will run with that if it is present.

Turn your device upside down to hear the sound of an animal...
This is an implementation of a Moo Box, a classical child play that plays the sound of a cow when it is turned upside down. This implementation has several built-in sounds of animals and users can add their own by uploading them on the device in a directory called /home/user/MyDocs/MooBox (i.e. a MooBox directory on the root of your device if you use the file manager). The picture and the sound must have the same name and have the .jpg and . mp3 extensions respectively. Pictures are under Creative Commons and taken from http://animalphotos.info/. Sounds are from http://www.universal-soundbank.com/.

port of the 1980's side-scrolling WWI dogfighting game
For the nostalgic among you, I present sopwith.
This is an updated version of the 1980's game developed by David L. Clark of BMB Compuscience Canada - it has been adapted to run on Maemo devices with a keyboard. Poor graphics, stupid AI, and no sound await you. The gameplay is simple, addictive, and fun. A `side-scroller', you pilot your biplane across a static field, destorying enemy encampments and planes.
