''[http://freedroid.sourceforge.net/ Freedroid RPG]'' is an Open Source [[Role Playing Game]] in the style of ''[[Fallout]]'' or ''[[Diablo (series)|Diablo]]''. In it, Tux the Penguin fights off [[AI Is a Crapshoot|an army of crazed robots]] with weapons such as bare [[Bizarre Alien Biology|flippers]], wrenches, swords, lightsabers and "The Exterminator". The game is based on ''[[Paradroid]]'', borrowing from it both the robots and the ability to take control of one's foes. The game is currently in beta, but the current release is remarkably filled out (and stable).

* [[Cast From Hit Points]]: The "spellcasting" system. You cast spells by [[Powers as Programs|running "programs"]], which heats up Tux's brain. If you get hot enough, you begin to take damage. Continue to cast spells, and Tux will go into sleep mode for a while, with no means of protection.

* [[Crapsack World]]: The Red Guard taxes and oppresses the population into oblivion, the only food is carcinogenic MREs (despite the presence of a trained chef, whose cooking apparatus was used as fuel by the Guard), and of course, there are the hordes of killer robots.

* [[Robo Speak]]: All droids deliver a [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner]] before attacking, not from sound files but from an actual voice synth built into the game. Notable are "First Law Disabled", "Slice, Slice, Slice", and "Redmond, we have a problem".
