So, what (native) Linux games do you play?

Not new to Linux, but a relative newcomer to the whole Linux gaming extravaganza... I'm interested in learning what native Linux games you play, and which are the fun ones to look out for, So no Windows games running under Wine, I'm talking about the real Linux games, both single player as well as MMO's...

I'm already installing Regnum to give it a whirl, love to know what is out there.

I lost interest in Regnum quickly. The drop rate is stupid slow.

Oh and +1 for DF. Can't get enough of it

Mostly just Dwarf Fortress.  Sometimes Steamband/Angband.  I was never really able to get into nethack.

DooM ports of all kinds, especially Skulltag!(Classic Doom 1 and 2), Doom 3, Quake 4, Quake Live, Urban Terror, Dwarf Fortress, Snes9x-gtk(does a native emulator count? ), DOSBox for Strife(freakin amazing game) and soon to be the X-Com series when I buy them, VBA-M... Neverball sometimes.

I think that about does it for me.

Say what? Arch-Games repo?

I did notice this morning that the df PKGBUILD has some permissions problems (could have just been me).

Re: So, what (native) Linux games do you play?

DooM 1&2 (with modern ports), warzone2100, wesnoth and I recently found out Domions 3, which seems promising. I still have to play through the demo and decide if it is worth the buy (I do not have so much time for playing anyway).
