You should have the option for " None ". Anyhow looks like I'm not going to be gaming on Linux. I seriously don't want to pay money to play games that I WANT. I could just buy windows or get it for free and play any game I want.

 

Until Linux has a good improvement on gaming, i seriously won't be doing any gaming on it. I'll try out the Linux Clients if the game has it. Other than that, I doubt it.

Bah. I hear a lot of people underestimating Linux gaming in here. Check it out:

 

Native games I own:

Quake 3 Arena

Unreal Tournament

Unreal Tournament 2004

Neverwinter Nights + first expansion (I bought the gold box)

Return to Castle Wolfenstein

Doom 3

Postal 2

 

Games I play with Cedega (this emulator so rocks right now):

Half Life 2

Star Wars: Knights of the old Republic 2

Warcraft 3

Dungeon Keeper 2

 

I own a ton of others that work with Cedega, that's just what I'm playing at the mo, when I find time. Half Life 2 is what I play the most, but since I only get to game for around three hours a week, I'll probably be playing it for another year.

 

I haven't come accross a Windows game made in the last few years that doesn't work. I have but one tip: turf Point2Play - it ain't cool. Use the command line.

 

Oh - and 2.6 vanilla kernels are the business for any wine-based gaming, IMO.

They vote system is limited to 5 option. Fill out a complain formal and send it to Anon :P :D

 

 

There's some good linux games out there, but again it's all about taste. I myself like Strategy games and RPG and so far there's some good games in that genres.

 

A good one is 'Dominions 2', there's also Dominions 1 but I havn't tried. The 2 swedish men company 'Illwinter' is making Dominions 3 at the moment, so I can't complain :cheesy:

 

There's also a good chance that NWN 2 will come to Linux as native. Bioware is ready making it, they just need clearance from Atari.

 

Though I rarely play Shooter games I know there's some good games out there for Linux in high quality. Mainly they are build for multiplayer and not single player.

 

 

 

 

About Cedega: Most of my games works with it :afro: ...some of the games just need a minor tweak if they are messing up. But most case they work out of the box. Even better, with the new cedega 4.4 I got 'Wizardry 8' to work :banana:

 

Games I've on my Linux OS with help from Cedega at this moment:

 

American McGee's Alice

Space Colony

Star Craft

UFO: Aftermath

Warcraft 3

Wizardry 8

World of Warcraft

Master of Orion 3

Homeworld 2

 

Native linux Games (commercial):

 

Dominions 2

Roit Ball

Share of Pain

NWN gold box

Savage

Devil Whiskey

Tribal Trouble

Yet ragnarok online has been out for like 6 years and still doesn't work in cedega. heh and it's still one of the most popular games.

Exaclty - it is 6 years old. Games that came out before Cedega are hard to get supported. Have you tried? Have you subscribed and setup a request for support?

I messed up in voting, I forgot Heavy Metal Fakk, so I have 4 games:

 

- Heavy Metal Fakk

- Unreal Tournament

- Unreal Tournament 2004

- DOOM 3

 

I will admit that I didn;t buy any of those specifically for Linux, I bought them to play on Windows and occasionally play them on linux

 

What I do play on linux are a few free games, like NeverBall, Chromium, ...

 

I used to play some MAME games under linux but I now have a dedicated MAME cabinet (which run under winodws because I play other games than MAME ones on the cabinet and they don;t run in linux)...

 

I mostly game under windows though. I used to run a dedicated UT2004 server under linux and sometimes run a teamspeak server.

How do you play the Windows version of Heavy Metal FAKK2 natively in Linux? I though the Linux version was a seperate entity?
