fangbite Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 I've been with linux for nearly a year now and in that time I've found myself primarily trying to force windows games in linux. Although this has worked in some cases (unreal tournament) it hasn't working in most other cases (steam). What I'm looking for is some good linux games. I'm not talking about linux ports to windows games, I'm talking about games which are native linux, or have linux and windows versions. I've looked at www.happypenguin.com (i think thats it) and www.sourceforge.net but I was wondering if anyone who's been around the block more than me know of anywhere else I can look. Primarily i'm interested in action (primarily FPS) and strategy games. Suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 http://www.tuxgames.com the best source for native linux games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 If you're interested in more than PC games: a lot of arcade (with xmame alone you can play over 4000 games) and console games can be played with no problem in Linux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fangbite Posted July 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 I prefer just PC games. Consol games usually don't impress me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidzoo Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 Just an FYI, Unreal Tournament has a Linux installer. Check http://www.lokigames.com to get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HJ Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 Although this has worked in some cases (unreal tournament) it hasn't working in most other cases (steam). What cybrjackle is saying, is that unreal tournament has a native version for linux. You don't need to install it with cedega/winex/wine (which is what i'm assuming since you compair it running to Steam, which you need to use cedega/winex/wine to play).
