Why?
A lot of games from my childhood had very memorable final bosses, but
open source games rarely do.
What's an "open source" game?
"Open source" games includes games with any FSF-approved license, any DFSG license, any OSI-approved license, as
well as any Creative Commons licenses except for no-derivative. Note that both the game
engine and game assets must be open.
What's a "notable" game?
I can't list every two-line Github repository, but I want to cast a wide net. A game can qualify as notable if it satisfies ANY of the following conditions:
"Major" human-curated repositories of foss packages include, but are not limited to:
Inclusion on Google Play or Itch does NOT automatically make a game notable,
because a game can get onto one of those stores without a human reviewing it
for either openness and quality. A game on Google Play or Itch could still qualify for notability in other ways.
I'm not going to attempt to define what a "final boss" is.
