blackhat101 Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 I was wondering what is an enjoyable game, whether FPS, flight sim, or other that runs natively on Linux? Never played anything but GNUChess on linux, looking to expand my linux gaming horizons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fangbite Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 I've found these to be my favorites: Unreal Tournament (virtually ever version has either linux installer on cd or easily downloaded off net) America's Army (not so much but still good) Battle for Wesnoth (great strategy game. Reminds me of old Avalon Hill games) Blobwars (platformer but fun somehow) Supertux (you like mario? This is mario with linux :)) Those are my favorites, but if you look through this forum you'll find not only sites dedicated to linux gaming, but some reviews as well (look at the stickies) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhat101 Posted September 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Wow, didn't know that you could get those for linux. This requires further investigating. Unreal Tourn. sounds like a good place to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaschtroumpf Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 How about you look at this thread: https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=22519 You're bound to find something you like and a lot of them are free. I just discovered superTux myself. While it's not my kind of game, my kids just fell in love with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhat101 Posted September 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 okay, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 As papaschtroumpf said, we have had numerous threads about this before. You can play any game you want in Linux using Cedega (see www.transgaming.com) or choose from AI's list of native games ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foot Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 (edited) You can also see a large list of free/OSS/commercial games that'll run natively on linux here Edited September 20, 2005 by foot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artificial Intelligence Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 If you really like Fantasy Strategy turn based games take a look at Dominions 2 www.illwinter.com It got the absolutly best Gameplay I ever tried. The combinations and aspect in that game is unlimited! You should even try my mod I made for it, you can find it at some of the mod sites, it's called Forest of Loren inspired of warhammer. The game is not free though, but it's worth its money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendal Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 SO wait a minute. Are you guys saying that it's possible to play games, like current title games, with 3d graphics and stuff on linux? Linux? nah, I'm not buying it no way. This is just a server OS and something for computer junkies/geeks/whoever to play with. LOL (Now I'm going through the above links to find more games to enjoy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solarian Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 SO wait a minute. Are you guys saying that it's possible to play games, like current title games, with 3d graphics and stuff on linux? More of those with Cedega (www.transgaming.org) p.s. I don't play games though, so this is not really my problem category. p.p.s. Nobody has to buy Linux, it can be used free ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fangbite Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 A warning though about cedega. It generally only plays well recent games which are popular to the people who buy cedega. Most windows games I've tried (I got hundreds from the last ten or so years) don't work. Several however work as well or better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
