Oolite is an independent reinterpretation and ehancement of the classic space sim game Elite for modern computers. The result is a space trading and combat simulation offering encounters with pirates, police, bounty hunters, the occasional alien menace, and other surprises along the way. While striving to reach the coveted Elite status, the players set their own path through the various galaxies, choosing to be trader, pirate, or bounty hunter depending on the situation at hand, and their own judgement. The game is hugely expandable, using a combination of property lists and JavaScript. Oolite's active modding community already provides more than 200 OXPs (Oolite eXpansion Packs). Among them are a huge variety of missions, weapons, ships, and extra career paths over and above what's available within the core game, as well as a number of other gameplay enhancements and customizations.

Gambatte is an accuracy-focused, cross-platform Game Boy and Game Boy Color emulator. It is based on hundreds of corner case hardware tests, as well as previous documentation and reverse engineering efforts. The core emulation code is contained in a separate library back-end (libgambatte) written in pure platform-independent C++. There is a GUI that uses Trolltech's Qt4 toolkit (gambatte_qt), and a simple command-line SDL front-end (gambatte_sdl). The GUI front-end contains platform-specific extensions for video, sound, and timers.

KAtoms is a clone of an old Amiga turn-based multiplayer strategy game for the KDE desktop, with improvements such as irregular board shapes, AI players, and a scalable user interface. Players take turns to place their atoms on the board, causing explosions and chain reactions which convert enemy atoms to their own color. The object of the game is to overwhelm the board. The simple rules of the game give rise to complex and unpredictable reactions which provide interesting gameplay.
KLightsOut is an implementation of Lights Out, a handheld electronic puzzle game. The game consisted of a 5 by 5 grid of buttons containing lights. At the start of a game, a pattern of lights would be switched on. Pressing a light would toggle it and the four adjacent lights on and off. The goal of the game is to switch off all of the lights. KLightsOut expands on the old Lights Out gameplay with larger boards, more states, and holes in the board.
