or just how about from now on ANY game must be developed to run on the windows OS or a linux platform, federal law... that would be nice... maybe we could write up a bill to be passed i'd be all for that!

Well, unfortuantely, I'm a space flight simulator guy. Wing commander, X-Wing and their ilk.

I'd love to see Freelancer ported. While Digital Anvil might have been interested, somehow I don't see Microsoft porting the games it controls to Linux.

But hey, I've been wrong before

I would love to see native versions of the GOOD ST games like Bridge Commander and Elite Force II. I'd also like to see some RTS games like Warcraft III, C&C Generals, etc. Civ3 would be a good port over to Linux, as would be SimCity 3/4 and Ceasar 3. Games like Descent/Doom/Quake would be awesome too. Classics, but goodies nonetheless. In general, I would like to eventually see at least 75% of what's produced for Windows to be simultaneously produced for Linux. I think that's reasonable. I personally have never gotten Wine or WineX to run properly, so I'm stuck playing PenguinSolitaire and TuxRacer on my box, while begrudgingly booting over to windows to play anything worthwhile.

All Quakes and Dooms have already been ported, check this site:

And this place to look for them in the database:

call of duty, couter strike/half life1/2, the GTA 3 and vice city meaby far cry if its not already on linux (and well ut2004 is already) on and WARCRAFT III!

god, I'd pay U$S 100 for HL 1 and 2+MOD SUPPORT

I vote for Diablo II. That's the only game I know about. Oh yes, that and SimAnt...

Diablo II runs quite well under WineX.

stunter

If you don't mind occasional slowdowns while in the inventory or in the stash or stores... A native port would be swell...

definitely diablo ii, star craft and half-life.

Well, Microsoft owns or sponsors alot of these gaming franchises. I doubt you'll see some of them ported, especially the likes of Age of Empires.


BTW, for those that don't know Neverwinter Nights runs under linux. Pretty decent game with some nice graphics that is very much in the same vein as Dungeon Seige, Diablo, and Diablo II.

World of Warcraft. If that comes out on linux I'll abandon Windows for good. Right now I have 7 boxes at work running Linux in one form or another. I am only unhappy with the fact that programs are so flimsy on linux as to not have universal distro installers.

It isn't the lack of games that is going to hold linux back. It is the lack of a good universal installer for all distro's that will hold linux back. You don't sell games to people that want to play with text files in a command line editor like VI setting up cryptic arguments/parameters/syntax. You sell games to people that want to sit down and play them during their spare time. It is as clear as the nose on your face what's needed but the service mentality born into linux holds back the acceptance on the desktop. A universal distro installer will handle alot of the problems involved in installing programs and this will hurt that service mentality due to a lack of dollars generated for those services. As a result the inclination to make it happen isn't there.

Although you aren't the first I've heard that stated that Quake 3 has a linux version I have never seen it run on linux and there is no linux installer on the CD. I have not been able to find one on the net either.

EDIT: LoL I finally found something to do the install, but alas there are no servers on line. Is this correct? No servers for quake 3 online competition?

Man you REALLY have to do your homework before you speak too lightly... really... No offense meant, but by what you've said it's clear you've never heard about the Loki installer (same program used to install Q3A, NWN, UT, UT2003/4, RTCW, FAKK2, SOF, et al games with linux ports made either by Loki games or others?). Even though Loki games is no more, the installer is considered a good tool for installation routines of programs such as games (that's what it was designed for in the first place), reason why Epic chose it for its UT2003/4 games.

About the Quake thing, well... you just google around for the latest patch (which is installed with the Loki installer), then just copy over to where you installed the game the .pak files (especially pak0.pk3) in the proper directoy (I trust you know where it is). If you've got a valid key and a recent point release version (1.32-1.32b), you'll be able to play on-line.

whoever said snood:
i dont know first hand cause ive never played snood, but i believe FrozenBubble is a clone of it

brand new linux newbie. lots of learning to do... anyway; pc games i have that i'd pay to run under linux:

unreal 2004, call of duty, far cry, battlefield vietnam, thief- deadly shadows, star wars ktor, painkiller, lineage 2, splinter cell-pandora tomorrow, colin mcrae rally 2004, microsoft flight simulator 2004.

running a dual-boot xp/suse 9.1 pro on an alienware fx-51. does anyone know of a good emulator for amd64? read that wine doesn't work too well.
