Pool of Radiance Ruins of Myth Drannor would be awsome I'd pay whatever it cost well within reason

cb_linus · 01-17-2004, 06:33 AM

Any of the worms games

, Escape from Monkey Island, Deus Ex and Startopia would be nice as native Linux ports

And if anyone is ambitous: make a program that port window programs to linux programs. So I buy Half-Life 2 (in the future) and port it with that program. :-D I know I'm dreaming if it was possible somebody would of thought about it before and be rich now :-D.

But anyway the base question: what efforts does it takes for company's to port their software.

Don't think it'd be possible...but it MIGHT be possible to make a program that can port the source code to Macintosh, Windows, and Linux...

That'd be cool...

Unfortunately its very unlikely that you'd be able to get the source code for your favorite game from the company, lol

ya... hey, i was wondering: on the first post of the thread, jeremy said he would contact the developer if there was enough interest in a game. i think there are alot of games here that are pretty popular with the people on the forum. i just want to know if jeremy has contacted anyone. im just curious.

I would definitely like to see warcraft 3 and ports of future blizzard games.

mmurch01 · 01-22-2004, 05:02 PM

I'd like to see the following, I'd pay full price for all:

1.) BF1942 and all patches
2.) GTA (all of 'em)
3.) Blizzard games

I'd have to say Counter-Strike, Unreal Tournament and Battlefield 1942

Thetargos · 01-23-2004, 12:20 AM

Errr... Unreal Tournament already has a port!
