Thanks for the suggestions both of you, I'm downloading them now. NetHack looks really interesting. Looks like old-school RPG style, kind of like Exile III: Ruined World (great game, only one in the trilogy made for Linux).
VegaStrike: a free (as in GPL), OpenGL starship trading/combat game, similar to Elite and Privateer, with a scripting engine for missions. It's also moddable, and the mods include Star Trek (you have to see the screenshots to believe; the mod authors have Galaxy, Intrepid, Akira, Defiant, Bird of Prey and Vor'cha models) and Babylon 5 (still in development).
Nethack is awesome; I wasted many days back in the '80s playing that. Google for Falcon's Eye (a graphic tileset for it), or Slash'Em (a multiplayer version).
I really like two emulators available for linux - they work really well.
First epsxe for ps1 games - it works really well for most games.
Also, scummvm to play those scumm-based opint and click games like sam n max & day of teh tentacle.
One free game that I most like in Linux is the BzFlag. It is a multiplayer gaming software which can be both run in LINUX, Micro$oft and MacOS. Really great because you can even play over internet or Locally. Try this and download it from http:///www.bzflag.sourceforge.net
Believe in Tux and the power it will change the IT...!
