The State of Linux Gaming
I don't know why people are complaining that there are no games, there are
loads and loads good Open Source games. Admittedly they are not the
latest blockbusters and most imitate the great games from the past, but I
don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. :-)
Several nice 3D games:
- Neverball/Neverputt
- Trackballs
- GL-177
- FooBilliard
- Emilia Pinball
- Scorched3D
- Knights
- Briquolo
etc.
And 2D games:
- Tower Toppler
- Rocks an' Diamonds
- Penguin Command
- Enigma
- LBreakout
- SolarWolf
etc.
And of course there is much larger variant of the "standard" games like
tetris, solitaire, mines, mahjongg etc. freely available on at least
Debian and SUSE distros and included into Linux Gnome&KDE Desktops than on
any Windows installation...
You can find all of the above games on www.happypenguin.org if they do not
come with your distro.
If you want to see & support new and innovative indie games, I've have
heard lot of good from the Gish game at:
