Got Linux game?

[Rogue Jedi X]

Hey. I was just finishing up my game of Atlantik (available in the universe repos, by the way), when I wondered: What does everyone else using Linux like to play? I'm just being curious. That, and Monopoly can only be interesting for so long and I could use suggestions. :wink:

I just fiddle with KTron, KBounce, KGoldRunner, some Kolf and some others to pass the time..

I had to buy both UT2004 and Doom3, just cause it runs native in my Kubuntu, only plays UT2004 though, Doom3 is boring. /// Freddan

battle for Wesnoth - quite good strategy game with rpg elements
It should be in ubuntu breezy repositories, and I'm sure that you can find it in backports repositories.

Re: Got Linux game?

I've heard good things about Dark Oberon. It's a real-time strategy game. Can't say more than that, though, because I can't get the damn thing to install. Maybe I'll just wait it to be added to the repositories someday. Hopefully...

Quake3 with rocketarena3 and urbanterror mods

Dark Oberon's quite cutesy and seems fairly polished. Haven't really found much of a single-player element to it, but it could definitely be fun multiplayer, and has potential to really do very well.

Wesnoth is a great game too.

I play a lot of Armagetron - it's a Tron light cycle clone, very easy to play. Also possible to play split screen with my girlfriend

Why, Enemy Territory of course! http://www.enemy-territory.com/

By the way, Quake 4 has just released a linux version. Hooray to ID software!!

Re: Got Linux game?

Mmm, would loove it if my system could handle it I never found Doom 3 very entertaining, just more of the same ol' same ol' round every corner, but with prettier graphics than before. Quake always guarantees good multiplayer fun :P Quake 3 is excellent, as is Unreal Tournament (GOTY, 2003 or 2004 are all good)

There's a Debian repo for Dark Oberon - I don't know if it works with Kubuntu; I compiled my own. (And good God, it's a fuss to do that.) But if it works, here it is:

I miss Loki. I still have and play Myth2, Civ CTP, and Railroad Tycoon.

I'll also vote for Wesnoth, it has consumed many of my hours.

But, alas, my PS2 now gets most of my gaming hours.

How do I download the .run file? Everytime I try to do it, it opens my browser...
Also, How do I install the game?

I downloaded Doom3 from the ID site, a *.run file. How do I get it to work / install?
Can any one help me?
