t_101 Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 I like first person shooters and stuff like Battlefield 1942. I was wondering what do I need in order to get these games. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks. -Alec [moved from Software by spinynorman] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 If you have the windex game, both Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Quake/Doom stuiff all have linux patches to run them in linux. There are certain files that you move from a windex install into linux. You can also extract them, if you are not infected. Id does excellent linux support.

liquidzoo Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Any of the UT/Unreal (with the exception, I think, of Unreal2) will work in Linux. All of the UT games have Linux installers. RtCW, as Ix said, has a Linux installer. You don't need a Windows partition if you have the GoTY edition. ET is a multiplayer game based on RtCW that's available for free. America's Army has a Linux Client There is a Linux version of Soldier of Fortune (the first one), but it's hard to find. Try eBay for that one. Plus there are a ton of other games (mostly older) that have Linux Clients, as well as some upcoming games (notably DoomIII). Check out http://www.tuxgames.com for a more complete listing of games available for Linux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 You can get a free tribes2 cd key (i don't have a link to the page), and if you can find someone with a CD of the linux version it's great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lets-eat-gary Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Most of the best Linux games require you to play mutliplayer - lan/net. and a working 3d card. Here's my list - Enemy terrority - the absolutly best game ever created - the more you play it the better it becomes !!! - look out for my server - will have the simpsons level !! (www.enemy-territory.com) - Legends - a tribes type of game with really good graphics- still in development but looking very good, not many people play at the min but more will be ! http://hosted.tribalwar.com/legends/ - NOTE : you can't download the linux version from the front page - click on the 'fileswap' link - Cube - a open source Quake 3 game - it's pretty good fun, farly addictive http://wouter.fov120.com/cube/ ...... can't wait till Doom 3!!! Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
