Title: Linux Gaming
Post by: ruler501 on November 15, 2011, 08:15:55 pm

I know many people here have a distro of linux dual-booted or as their primary OS. I have found the games on linux too be pretty good(and free :D). Do you guys play any games if so what?
Once I get on my comp I'll post mine

EDIT: Game list:
Wesnoth 1.8. It was the first real game i got on linux and it is amazing
Flight Gear: I got it recently and it is a great flight simulator though i wish they'd add in combat
Im also going to be trying to install Americas Army maybe steam will install it through wine. If not i can go with 2.5(I think that was the last linux version)

I have a few problems with games like how I only have integrated graphics on my laptop because of linux's current problems with hybrid graphics

Minecraft is a pretty good game that runs on Linux.

I know shmibs could run Starcraft Brood War with Wine, but Battle.net didn't work very well...

Yeah if I had the money to buy it I'd definitely get Minecraft. For now I just play the free ones

DooM
All of DooM's off shoots
And DooM3 has been ported to Linux as well.  You still have to buy the game to get the resources though.
