Cube (http://cubeengine.com).  Can you tell I like this game?  ;-)

Realtime multiplayer cooperative level editing.  Fast, fun, furious fragfest 
(and free, too!).  The developer behind it worked on Far Cry (!).

Low by today's standards.  Estimated low-end would be a PII 300MHz w/ 16MB 
video card.  You could probably play with less.  The game is quite 
configurable as one would expect from any major FPS.  In fact, the console 
language is practically a language on its own (the developer likes to invent 
new programming languages ;-).

The only reason I spout off now is because I think it is a good showcase of 
FOSS and I can't commit to presenting.  :-(  I'll be in touch if that 
changes.  Since I don't expect it to be presented otherwise, I threw in my 
two bits publicly on the list as YASP (Yet Another Shameless Plug).  ;-)
