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

You guys may be happy to know I'm working on cleaning up the dwarffortress PKGBUILD in preparation for addition to the Arch-Games repo.

Say what? Arch-Games repo?

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

I know, Ive just added the repo, how cool is this

- Quake Live (if Firefox plugin counts?)
- Heroes of Newerth
- Nexuiz
- Urban Terror
- True Combat: Elite (ET mod, but I don't play actual ET)

Somewhat unrelated to this, does anyone have any advice on how we might solve the ET issue with punkbuster on 64bit? http://arch-games.twilightlair.net/issues/show/68

I had the same problems (so it's probably not just me, perhaps just us? )

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

Nothing, I've given up on Linux gaming for the moment. Most of the titles I want to play run poorly under linux or miserably in wine. I have to run a windows box for some particular software and games, so I just use it for all of them.

Though one day I will get back to an angband variant, after I've had enough of Torchlight.

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

Man, I tried lots of them.

Closed Source :
prey
x3
postal 2
penumbra, the whole collection
doom 3
sacred
heroes of newerth
world of goo

Open Source:
vega strike
sauerbraten
alien arena
nexuiz
beneath a steel sky (on scummvm)
ufo : alien invasion
warzone 2100
battle for wesnoth
freedroidrpg
wormux
metal blob solid
eduke32 (duke nukem advanced engine)
and... that's all I think.

I must say, it takes time to find out all the possibilities. I'm quite a dedicated gamer, I'm using Linux from about three years and still discovering new titles.,
Most of those games certainly lack all the hype and advertisement of windows AAA+ games.
A good reference site is the Linux game tome: http://happypenguin.org/
Another good one is Linux games: http://www.linuxgames.com/

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

I only recently found out about the games by Kenta Cho. They are all arcade style shooters, and are of extremely high quality. They are all in AUR.

noiz2sa (a trippy top-down shooter)
Gunroar (think Asteroids + Space Invaders)
Tumiki Fighters (think Gradius + Katamari Damacy)
rRootage (a top-down shooter with only boss battles)
Torus Trooper (like Tempest)

Also, they work great with my Logitech USB gamepad.

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

I don't play much PC games, but when I do, it's usually Runescape (it's kinda native since it's Java) or Quake Live. I also play Team Fortress 2 and SimCity 4 quite a bit, but those are in Wine so that doesn't count here. Oh, also Frets on Fire! (Fofix actually). Also N64 and SNES emulators are great if you're into that kinda thing, but I guess that's not native either

I tried Nexuiz yesterday and I had a blast (and got caught in the middle of one quite often as well )

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

noiz2sa and torus are a blast.  I've seen noiz2sa before but couldn't get it installed.  Thanks.

Also, right now I'm giving shooting guns a chance.

I did play Battle for Wesnoth, but the current version of sdl (1.2.14) breaks it, so I've been pretty bored lately.

I remember playing noiz2sa on my gp2x.
That game is hard

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

World of Goo has a fantastic Linux port and is well worth the asking price! I got it when they were doing the "pay what you want" deal and actually regret not giving them more cash.
