Tux Racer

Tux Racer is a single-player first-person 3D open-source cross-platform computer game created by Sunspire Studios in 1999. You play Tux the Penguin, and race him down various icy slopes of a big mountain trying to establish a fast course time. Powerups take the form of tasty herring.

Thirteen courses come bundled with the game, and more courses can be found here. It is also straightforward to create custom courses using a graphics editor.


 * Everything's Better with Penguins
 * Expansion Pack: Tuxracer Belly Rub offers a huge one.
 * Getting Crap Past the Radar: From Tuxracer Belly Rub, the courses Big Ass Jump and I've Got a Woody.
 * Made of Iron: A real penguin would be skua pabulum after a few of the collisions Tux survives unscathed.
