Sry if I didn't put any links in yet. A simple google (at google.com/linux) should get you the link to there site. I got more games, but its late, and I got 2 finish my homework. (I never do it, decided it was a good time to start)

Hello irish rebel, you may or may not find this interresting, but I have a number of games available, links, comments and support at my webby. I also have been Windows Free for about 3 to 4 years now including my kids and one chalenge for me was getting games working for them, although they are not as old as 11 yet.

Check it out and see if there is anything in there that you like or that can help.

Kind Regards (Just trying to help the community)

do u have a link to the site?

yeah I am sorry! www.gcclinux.com

there are pre-packaged games in rpm format that I upload for JDS Linux gamers, but for all other distros the information is located in the gamers community.

I hope you find it useful and helpful

Regards,

I used to play Runescape in linux. It works fine in Mozilla and Firefox as long as you have Java installed.

Savage plays in both Lin and Win,... and there is no fee, beyond the puchase of the game. I haven't played online yet, as I just got it the other day (used,... for $12 US).

Cedega will apparently run WarCraft III and StarCraft very well. I have only played a little StarCraft.

Count on some other games in the strategy arena coming out soon. Linux gaming has been dominated by Shooters for the most part. The real place where we need (retail) games is in simulations and sports.
