mmpog


Does anyone know of any games that will work in linux Mandrake 10.0. I would like to find a space type game. When I was on Windows 98se I used to play an online mmpog called Mankind. I love that game but it won't work with linux. I can't seem to find any games such as this that plays in realtime. Everything that comes remotely close is mostly turn based. I like to explore and build and every now and again fight. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I am going nuts that I can't play anything in my game genre.

Thanks,
jmill_1

Abit NF7
Athlon XP 2600+ Thorton core
Geforce 5200 128mb lite version video card
256mb ram

Maybe Vendetta Online? I forget where it is, but I heard good things about it.

nope

Vendetta online seems to be more of a fighter based game. I like to explore and build as well as fight. I might take a look at it though. Thanks

Homeworld

I have Homeworld 1 lying around here somewhere. I played it a bit when I was on Windows. But I couldn't get past like the 4th or 5th level. I never tried to play it on Mandrake. As far as Cedega goes, I tried to download it yesterday to play some of these Windows based games but the company wants a subscription in order to download the Cedega software. I haven't looked into an older WineX version for Mandrake 10.0.

Thanks,
jmill_1
