Best Linux Games Ever?


Hi,

I would like to discuss about the games on Linux.

I guess dosbox is one of the best game/soft to be installed.

Freeciv is cool too.

Please feel free to post which game you like and how installation is.

Greetings
Happy Gaming Tux

If dosbox is best. Since it is an emulator, so following two should also be two of the best:
FCE Ultra: Nintendo Entertainment System Emulator. (runs NES roms.)
ZSNES: Super Nintendo Entertainment System Emulator. (runs ZSNES roms.)

I'm about to complete Metro: Last Light. Good game but it's just a one-off pleasure. Nothing compared to the likes of nethack or minecraft.

I had a lot of fun playing Urban Terror.
World of Goo & Aquaria are both very good as well.
My kids like Extreme Tux Racer & Tux Kart

Is Metro from Valve (halflife 2) company?

It has an amazing engine, but it is really too much gore
