Running OpenSuse 11.0 x64, KDE 4.1. XFX NVidia 9600GT.
Been very pleased with Half-Life, Half-Life 2 (and plenty of HL/HL2 mods), Quake 3 Arena, World of Padman (awesome free FPS). Urban Terror also is quite cool if you’re after a native CS like game (also freeware).
Had some great fun with Darwinia demo on steam and considering buying that to see the rest of the game.
Have just bought Unreal Anthology for less than 10UKP so looking forward to trying UT GOTY, Unreal, Unreal 2 and might give UT 2004 a go.
Lots of other little toy games I play grabbed from the either the standard repos or packman repo (which should be part of the standard install, at least as an option). Just browsing through the repo now and found ManiaDrive again. installs
A few older bits, such as Starcraft Broodwar, Settlers, Settlers 2; old time faves. Oh and ran MDK2 fairly recently, forgot how fun that was. Stumbled across my copy of American McGee’s Alice not too long ago but haven’t tried to see if that will run yet.
The MSDOS stuff being run under dosbox and the windows stuff mostly being run through WINE, where there isn’t a native Linux version. None of it has been particularly difficult to setup, YYMV.
I have found that if you’re running the XGL server, OpenGL games can be a bit of a pain. Since shifting from my ATi X1600 to the 9600GT that has not been an issue (Yay for native compositing support).
My favorite to play on linux is rainbow six using playonlinux,frozen bubble is great,and i also play battleship,monopoly,and solitaire.
Has anyone had any luck or ideas as to how I could play Black & White? I don’t have the original CD anymore (only a copy of the game files). I have Cedega and PlayOnLinux but I can’t seem to get them working.
On topic, my favorite games are HL & HL2, Black & White, Solitaire (I have a ridiculous speed record!), Pain Killer.
I’m enjoying playing warzone 2100 at the moment
Wesnoth was good, but it tires quickly, lol.
Racer Car and Racing Simulator looks like an interesting game.
I never used to play games on windows, hated them, but after coming to linux I spend more time playing games than anything rotfl!
GL-117, TORCS, Assault Cube, Warzone2100, Flight Gear, Lin City NG, Alien Arena, and many others. Oh yeah, FreeDink is good too. I like Egoboo but its buggy.
BATTLE FOR WESNOTH!!!
has anyone tried Glest lately. the last time i tried it, it was just too buggy.
glest works fine on my end:P
thank you. i will give it a try once again.
X3 rotfl!
It’s huge, it’s space, and it’s native to linux :). Although it is a rather slow paced game requiring a bit of patience to figure it all out.
If I may be permitted an edit to take this completely out of context (with my having some fun), then that comment reads like an accurate comment on the Linux OS itself, based on what I remember I went thru in 1998 when I first started learning Linux.
In truth, all humour aside, my hat is off to the gamers. My playing chess with my computer does not exactly stress the graphic capabilities of Linux, so I find it interesting to read the experiences of others who do use games the challenge the computer OS more.
- KMines
- World of Warcraft
- Sauerbraten ( recommended for quakers - the gameplay is a little bit faster (1.5x) ;))
To continue down this out of context path of communication, I first attempted linux in 2001 using Mandrake. However I couldn’t figure out for the life of me how to actually run the beast, so I gave up. Really wish I hadn’t of now. I’d be an uber pro linux guru right now.
But yeah, that must be why Linux users can put up with the long and slow game that is X3.
I tried Cedega today, its not perfect but its good if u get addicted to a game and u cant let go of win.
