'''''Tux Racer''''' is a single-player first-person 3D cross-platform computer game created by Sunspire Studios in 1999. You play as Tux the Penguin as you race him down various icy slopes of a big mountain trying to establish a fast course time. Powerups take the form of tasty herring. The game was originally open source before becoming proprietary. However, a fork of the game titled ''Extreme Tux Racer'', formerly known as ''Planet Penguin Racer'', remains open source to this day. |

Thirteen courses come bundled with the game, and more courses can be found [https://web.archive.org/web/20080630220457/http://tuxracer.fubaby.com/courses.php here]. It is also straightforward to create custom courses using a graphics editor. |
