What games do you play on Linux?

I know this contributes little or nothing to this conversation, but I need no games with Linux. I get almost all of my (computer) enjoyment by maintaining and tweaking my lovely ArchLinux installation.

And I want to feel the exact same way

Enemy Territory Quake Wars native Linux client. Runs better on Linux than the Windows client.

I just wish more companies would produce Linux clients for their games. Do it like id (unsupported) so there is no support nightmare. Linux users that want to play games can get the stuff to work. Look at Quake Wars and Unreal tournament. Both fairly old games, that still install and play fine, even on rolling release distros like Arch.

Mostly Starcraft II atm.

Assaultcube, World of Goo, Spring ( mostly 1944 and complete annihilation ), Scorched earth.
I installed the demo of ET:QW recently and I'm really enjoying it, great game. I was surprised that it runs smooth on my laptop ( on lowest graphical settings ), Going to buy it soon.

I am trying to figure out the game of Go with ccgo and GNU Go at the moment, and at times I visit DuneMUD or LambdaMOO. I am also trying to get rid of my addiction to Assault Cube.

I played this game for a few weeks last year, it was really a blast My best online multiplayer experience by far.

Note: it's available in other languages, for those interested.

Any chance theres an english version (i can't navigate the site to find out)?
Looks pretty good.

Totally loosing interest in games. Only game I've been looking forward this year was Elementar: War of Magic which just got released and I should go buy this weekend.

In Linux I prefer to entertain myself with pure ascii games. ToME and Nethack mostly. I do maintain do a very large collection of MAME roms and ZX Spectrum, 90s and before. But they are currently archived and have been an year since I last played one.

I've also been developing for the past 3 years a large scale PBeM following on the tradition of early complex PBMs (yes, PBMs. i.e. snail mail games). It's actually on the last stages of development and soon ready to be moved to open source. This is a big part of my desire to start learning Linux since I which to port both server and client to this operating system. Server is mostly standard C++ with portable libraries and client is C++ with wxWidgets. Can also be played without client, entirely from the email reports. Developing this has been a source of enjoyment far greater than any game has been capable of offering me since "AAA title" became a coined term.

Yeah, I hear ya. I've been losing more and more interest in games too recently, but I'm not totally lost yet . Good for you on developing those PBM games! I played some a long time ago, mostly turn based strategy games through email that would take months to complete. It's cool stuff though.

Currently I am playing Heroes of Newerth natively and in the near future I'll give Battle for Wesnoth another go. I also tried Minecraft Alpha, but found it to be rather boring and unchallenging.

Sorry, only french and german, afaik.

kernelpanic · 2010-10-13 15:03:43

I like very much games on Q3 engine, so playing:

Enemy Territory
Smokin Guns (great mod, really fun to play that western style)
Normal Quake 3 Arena

Sometimes HoN (but need a lot of practice to play with others, hard at beggining), maybe I'll install Battle for Wesnoth too.

dab-_- · 2010-10-13 18:40:15

Quakeworld mainly, But sometimes I play some nexuiz/q3cpma/warsow with mates.

Loafers · 2010-12-26 19:27:10

As soon as I get my new usb wifi adapter, it'll be Xonotic and Minecraft.

OU812 · 2010-12-27 19:01:29

Mostly emulators: VICE, gens, stella, and zsnes. Hopefully soon I'll install a MAME app.
