There really needs to be some more games ported over to linux, ffs, there are hundreds of mmorpg and fps games out there for windows and the idiot devels wont port them over to unix even tho the unix community is growing quite large..

I have been playing Lincity recently.
I got into it through lincity-ng, but I found the interface annoying - solely because of tooltips and inconvenient browsing of the money screen.
The original is very playable as well (without these two annoying things). The only thing it misses is the ability to 'overwrite' roads with better versions. I load a savegame up in lincity-ng for that, replace tracks with roads, save, and load it up with xlincity ;-)

Hah, there are some very convenient options in ~/.lincityrc I had missed until recently. For overwriting transport, and suppressing help messages.
But all this time I never made a successful city...

I play Warsow and Counter-Strike: Source (Crossover) mostly. And vdrift. The most promising racing simulation. Sometimes (Especially when friends are around) things like Stepmania are a lot of fun too

I like gaming a lot since I'm quite young person. I play quite a lot of DotA (Warcraft III map. PvP) and I am a trustee/webmaster for one Action Quake 2 clan. Also I play quite a lot of Max Paynes and Diablo II online with two friends of mine. We have a team of our own in DotA for playing public games in BattleNet and like once in a month we have a lanparty for just the five of us (involves alcohol consumption). I play a bit older games since my hardware isn't strong enough for the latest games. I think I must upgrade my hardware soon when Alan Wake from Remedy Entertainment comes out (If it comes out soon...) Oh! Almost forgot OpenTTD. Love that game <3

Didn't see warzone2100 get much love in this thread. For those of you who like RTS, it's very nice

I have tons of old Loki Games, i.e. Kohan, Sid Meier's Planetary Pack, Civ:Call to Power, Might and Magic 3, Rune, Hexen 2, Heretic 2, Soldier of Fortune, SimCity 3000 as well as all the Quakes and Dooms. I have ZSNES (best SNES emulator ever!) and I am beta testing for LGP, so don't tell me Linux can't be used for gaming! LOL!

Linux games are great. Once I find a game that's fun I tend to start modifying it rather than actually playing it. I'm almost like those people that say, "I don't have enough time..." I'm either spending 100% of the time trying to figure out how to compile and install, or just figure out how to add the feature I want rather than actually playing it.

Dam, thread killer.
I'm downloading Nexuiz at moment. It's 636MB though, so this is going to take a bit on my uber-slow connection. I'll tell you how it goes.

Downloading Planeshift, I've tried it a few times but can never get into it. It takes hours for me to find another person.

Hmm, just d/l'd nexuiz, and i from what I've played so far, the folks at nexuiz havereally outdone themselves. Lighting is alot better, there's more maps. A good number of ppl were playing too. I had a good time playing. Just FYI, since Nexuiz is an sdl game you don't even need to install it. Just unzip it and then run 'nexuiz-linux-x86_64-glx'.

I really like Nexuiz as well, and Q3/OpenArena.
I haven't lost my mind; I have a tape back-up somewhere.

I bought postal X from gopostal dot com, but I am afraid they forgot the linux support.. :S
Installing postal1 does not work, installing postal 2 gives me and error like `vcdk missing.'
At least I could play postal 1 manually copying the game and using Wine.
The extra stuff in the dvd contains obvious Windows' contaminations like Thumbs.db files... I am somewhat deluded.
Edit:
I've been playing the Descent series lately, with Loki's engine for D3 and the Dxx-Rebirth engine for the other two. I also like to play Cube, and Warsow on occasion. Old DOS games play great in DOSbox too. And of course there are the classics like Xpilot, Nethack, Neverball, and BZFlag. Those get less play from me though.
Was the second-to-last poll option supposed to read "a few"?
I'd like playing Descent 3 too! Where did you got the Loki port? Isn't the store closed?

If I were a hardcore gamer I would stay clear of linux. I play Alien Arena every now and then but just because of the gameplay and community. Like with most open source games the artwork and usability are neglected. Also you seem to need a Nvidia card if you want usable framerates. ATI's graphics drivers for Linux are teh suck.

There are some cool games for Linux, but I keep a Windows install around for when me and the kids wanna frag.
@rwd: The ATI driver problem is not the fault of Linux. nVidia just pays more attention. Maybe that will change in the future?
