Suggest games worth playing

Arcane · 01-02-2015, 09:26 AM

Hi. It's once again not so pretty weather outside and season also is one who pushes us inside more. So nothing much to do. Unless we use our PC for fun! So what do you suggest?

Deer Hunter 2005 is what i recently remembered but not so interesting in longrun.

P.S.I know we could go out to do some season sport and all that but - seriously? Not 24/7 and not everyone can afford it either so let's just stick with geek|nerd theme.

My only interest in 'games' are 'time waster' types such as PySolFC - a compendium of card & board games - I always put it on my machines. http://pysolfc.sourceforge.net/

I love Dungeon Crawl (Stone Soup version), both the "tiles" version and the terminal-based game.

I've been playing it for a year now & it keeps drawing me back in.

That I personally enjoyed?

Star Control 2. I can vouch for this one.

True Remembrance in Wine. I can vouch for this one too. And yes, I played it in Wine

Warcraft III and The Frozen Throne in Wine. You don't need a link for this one, do you?

Planescape: Torment. While I haven't played this in Wine, I'm positive that it would work better in Wine than it does in the current versions of Windows.

Then you probably should play Deus Ex + mods in wine aswell - works great! Can't see difference with Windows.

That's one game I managed to miss. I stupidly believed GamesDomain's highly negative review of it and passed it up.

Which mods do you recommend?

Incidentally, here's a recent article on the review I mentioned: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2010...hated-deus-ex/

Then you should play normal game before adding extras! Yea we all make mistakes but really? That game is one of the TOP games of all time! Didn't you like tried other sources of information before making decision?

All of them and they are so easy to install and most of them not even change original just puts next to it so you can play normal and mod depending on your daily mood!

does anyone know how to install xkobo on fedora ?

jamison20000e · 01-03-2015, 10:58 AM

It's awhile since I've used Fedora (or RPM or Alien) so correct me if need be

Code:

rpm -i xkobo-1.11-3.1.fc3.rf.i386.rpm

looks fun (the game and code.)

  Major opcode of failed request:  45 (X_OpenFont)
