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.

My first 10 years with Linux (Linux.com) Posted Oct 14, 2006 2:24 UTC (Sat) by einstein (subscriber, #2052) [Link] 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.

My first 10 years with Linux (Linux.com) Posted Oct 14, 2006 10:33 UTC (Sat) by steve_goa (guest, #27461) [Link] 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.

My first 10 years with Linux (Linux.com) Posted Oct 14, 2006 10:47 UTC (Sat) by boudewijn (subscriber, #14185) [Link] Lincity is still going strong!
My first 10 years with Linux (Linux.com) Posted Oct 14, 2006 12:49 UTC (Sat) by mjr (guest, #6979) [Link] 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.
My first 10 years with Linux (Linux.com) Posted Oct 14, 2006 19:04 UTC (Sat) by msphil (guest, #1378) [Link] I know of one *cough cough* :-)
My first 10 years with Linux (Linux.com) Posted Oct 16, 2006 18:41 UTC (Mon) by einstein (subscriber, #2052) [Link] ttyquake was a very cool hack, it's all coming back to me now...
