I would particularly like to see Deus Ex ported over (I cannot get it to run under WinE at all). |

Generally a good sized game that wasn't written with cross-platforms in mind is looking at a sizeable effort to port over to another platform. Those Linux Binaries you mention that run with the source files off of windows were created at substantial effort and expense as far as I know, the "source" files you copy off a windows install are simply stuff like game graphics and scripts...not code. However, if the game is designed from the ground up with windows and linux in mind, then the process gets a bit easier since you can choose libraries that work the same on both platforms (OpenGL and SDL I think are examples of this) that way, the difference in source code is kept at a minimum...but its still a bigger effort than it would be if you were coding only one and for one platform. |
GTA III
RCT2 Age Of Mythology Age of empires series Flight Sim (come to think of it the above 3 are made by micro$oft so i can dream on....) |
It would be great if they ported battlefield 1942. This is the best team-bases multiplayer game ever made, in my opinion, and it would definetly be great to see a linux version.

Ooh yeah, BF1942 would be nice.
And I said that they had to totally adjust the code. I just didn't say how hard it would be. :p |

I'd be willing to pay standard (debut) game prices for:
1- The Monkey Island series & Grim Fandago! (maybe the upcoming Sam & Max, too?). 2- Gabriel Knight Series. 3- Blizzard's Diablo & Diablo II (+ LOD). 4- Blizzard's StarCraft & Broodwar. 5- Blizzard's WarCraft II BNE & III/TFT. 6- MDK I & II 7- Soldier of Fortune 2 8- Jedi Knight II: Outcast (and the expansion Jedi Academy). 9- Half-Life and its expansions (Opposing Force/Blue Shift) and HL2 10- Splinter Cell PS: Is there any good app for calibrating/settin up a Joystick in Linux? PS2: A full PC re-make of Resident Evil could be cool :D (I don't have a PSX or GC) |
How could I forget?? DeusEx (and maybe Invisible War?)
|
thetargos, i think that monkey island 1 & 2 dont need to be on that list. do you know about scummvm?
http://scummvm.org of course, sometimes it wont work... it doesnt work on my computer right now :cry: :cry: |
Ooooh...I just got home...how could I have forgotten my total favorite?
MechWarrior Mercenaries and MechWarrior 3 (or the 4th one) |
Battlefield 1942!!!!! also Medal of Honor.

js_530, if you already have mohaa for windoze, you can download a beta of a linux binary for mohaa at
http://icculus.org/news/news.php?id=1607 thllgo, alot of your games are already here. you already know the duke nukem link, try ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com for quake, http://freecnc-sf.holarse.net for Command & Conquer, and http://prboom.sourceforge.net for an engine to use Doom data. |
Resident Evil remake to PC (linux) would be VERY cool.
