This question doesn’t have a simple answer, as there are a number of ways to install and run games with openSUSE. I’ll just mention two, and leave it to others to expand on…
- For games available as openSUSE RPMs, the principal repo for games is described here:
(Of course, a few games are also available via the default OSS, Gnome, and KDE, and other repos too)
Anyway, say you are subscribed to the games repo like I am (using openSUSE 12.2)
2 | download.opensuse.org-games | openSUSE BuildService - Games | Yes | Yes | 99 | rpm-md | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/games/openSUSE_12.2/
then I can list the entire contents of that repo with
zypper se -r download.opensuse.org-games
and then if I see a game I want info on eg zaz
# zypper info -r 2 zaz
