[Info] You don't need Wine for these


There are loads of games for gnu/linux that don't require Wine. A useful link to some of them is here:
http://www.linuxlinks.com/article/20...578/Games.html
http://www.linuxlinks.com/article/20...mes-Part2.html
These games must meet the following requirements to be listed
1. Free to play (no download charge, no monthly charge)

2. Does not require Wine to run. Wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows software.

3. Not in the early stages of development

Have fun!

Good post. Have you considered adding these to the LQ Wiki? This is the sort of thing that would be useful there.
