Hey we started runing Linux at about the same time!
I did too, but I backslide. ;-)
I couldn't leave those 3D games alone for a while. I guess I'll have to wait 2 years and celebrate with LWN.

There are 3d games for windoze? j/k
oh well. I've been playing FPS games on linux ever since doom was ported to linux in 1995, and I remember when quake for linux came out around Christmas of 1996. When quake 3 demo came out, I was there with my voodoo graphics card and dri drivers, lots of hours down the tube with idsoftware games.
Nowdays it's ut2004, and still quake 3 arena. also rtcw and the spinoff, et. I also bought quake 4 and doonm 3, but I honestly like quake 3 arena more.

'Fess up -- any early Doomer in Linux had to spend some time torturing MS Windows users with demos of ttyquake as soon as it came out. How many eyes did you ruin?

There was this great 'SimCity'-like game that I loved playing on Red Hat Linux 7 which was running fairly good on my Pentium 150 ~ 32MB RAM ~ 4 GB HDD.

Not to buff proprietary games over free replacements, but as a little-known curiosity, there was actually a Linux demo version of the original Simcity around a fair decade ago. Don't recall if license keys were actually sold.

ttyquake was a very cool hack, it's all coming back to me now...
