Games for LINUX? - nobbie - 02-22-2004
I have just installed SuSE Linux Professional 9.0 as second OP on my computer, especially for Internet and (free) Office applications.
Does anybody know of good games for Linux (with URL's please)? And, is Neverwinter Nights available for Linux? Where can I order the Linux version of it, if it is available?

You'll want to look into WINE and the others like it so that you can run windows apps under Linux I don't have it bookmarked any more but there are several linux compatibility sites that give you lots of info on getting windows games running under different linux flavors.
I don't think NWN has a native linux client, but there is a linux server for it.

NWN supports a Linux client and a Linux server. Here's the details:

As for other games, I really don't know. I haven't followed it at all, as when I want to play a game I'll be doing it in Windows anyway.

I also highly recommend checking out your local game software store's bargain bin. I've picked up several titles for Linux from my local EBX, including Descent 3 and another game. Also, check out Tux Games - you'll have to pay, but it's the best way to get Linux games, especially commercial games.
I have loads more links, but I'm too tired to list them all. It would take me over an hour. :P Poke around, especially on Sourceforge. You'll find lots of projects. And if you need any older versions of WineX, I happen to have a few copies. Just drop me a PM.
Edit:
One more link. ;)

Well, maybe just a little. I loved playing it at the lab on our linux machines. It's strangely addictive, and had the added bonus of being the only game other than UT sanctioned by the Powers That Be. =)
