Any games similar to these on Linux?


Hi,
I'm wondering - are they any games similar to the below on Linux?


Advanced Wars - on GBA
Romance of the Three Kingdoms - Released on Nes, Snes, PS1, PS2, PC, etc.
Anno 1503 - Released on PC by Sunflowers
Pharaoh - Released by Sierra, then re-released by Sold-Out on PC


Does anyone know a) any games on Linux that are similar to those?
and b) Any companies that sell games for Linux [doesn't have to be free, am willing to pay] and c) a place where I can find a list of games in Linux?

I'm not talking about really huge 3D graphical amazing games, just games with nice graphics even if they are 2D - Golden Sun on the GBA was 2D and has great graphics I think, Advanced Wars also has cool graphics and was 2D - doesn't have to be 3D and by no means and nor does it have to have graphics like Panza Dragoon Orta on the XBox.
Just some visually nice games.

Thanks all.

If you're looking into SNES emulator's I'd recommend ZSNES over snes9x, but that's just a personal preference. You might also want to look into Wine or WineX to emulate Windows games on your Linux box. I use it and it works fabulous, I've only had problems with non-commercial games that TransGaming doesn't support (GunBound, O2Jam, Rhythm It! etc.). Also I can vouch for ePSXe, best emulator for PS1 on the face of the PLANET! I've had a few game related problems here and there, but those are fixed with the game fixes, and, once you get the perfect settings for your hardware, everything works perfectly. Great for playing your Playstation games, especially with a Joystick (unfortunately analog isn't supported on Linux just yet ) Hope that helps.
