Cold War makes for intriguing gaming (Linux.com)
Linux.com plays around
with a new game. "It's been a long time since I've played a
commercial game on Linux, probably since the fall of Loki, but the long dry
spell is over now. I've been spending a lot of time playing Cold War
lately, and I've missed this kind of gaming."

Cold War makes for intriguing gaming (Linux.com) Posted Sep 5, 2006 22:38 UTC (Tue) by einstein (subscriber, #2052) [Link] That's a long time to go without gaming, IMHO. Since the fall of loki, I've obtained, and regularly play a number of commercial games on linux - Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Doom 3, Quake 4, ut2004 - the list goes on.
Naturally we don't use windows for anything, so why would we use it for gaming? We're a linux shop, you know...
Cold War makes for intriguing gaming (Linux.com) Posted Sep 5, 2006 23:05 UTC (Tue) by msphil (subscriber, #1378) [Link] In addition to Cold War, Linux Game Publishing published other games (underwriting the porting on a few) as well: Majesty, Postal 2, X2: The Threat, Software Tycoon, Gorky 17, Hyperspace Delivery Boy. See http://www.linuxgamepublishing.com/ for more...
Disclaimer: Majesty was my baby, but I just want it clear Cold War wasn't LGP's first, and that there were more than just the id and epic engine games in that time :-)
Cold War makes for intriguing gaming (Linux.com) Posted Sep 5, 2006 22:57 UTC (Tue) by dvrabel (subscriber, #9500) [Link] I rate that review much like the gaming press rates Cold War: mediocre.
Commercial games are great Posted Sep 6, 2006 8:58 UTC (Wed) by bignose (subscriber, #40) [Link] I'm not sure what's been keeping the author away from commercial games. Here are some of the commercial games I've been enjoying lately:
Planet Penguin Racer
and dozens more games. All of them I've paid for, as part of my operating system distribution, making them commercial games.
Naturally, I don't use nor pay for any non-free software if I can avoid it. Why would I? I have plenty of paid, commercial, free-software games to play.
