That's pretty off-topic here, but briefly:

Quake and doom source were both released. One quake effort is
http://www.quakeforge.net/, one doom effort is vavoom (don't have a
URL, web search should get it for you). There's a free flight sim but
I can't remember the name.  Good resources are
http://happypenguin.org/ and http://linuxgames.com/ --- although
obviously a game on linux needn't be a free game, and a free game
needn't be on linux, there is a strong enough correlation that these
resources are useful (and despite their names, most the games they
report on work on many OSes).

Another good place to look is libsdl.org, many many free games use SDL 
and are listed on the page.

question has been answered, but further discussion should probably be
off-list).
