I am not much of a gamer. Only got my 3D acceleration working because Suse said it wouldn't work.But I was surprised how easy it was to setup games (have Quake2 and others in there).

I'm addicted to TuxRacer... although, it only seems to work when I run it in root!
I have a few other games, but I haven't played any yet, as I'm in a war against Windows (want internet, can't get modem working). I got a CD full of games from cheeplinux.com - great CD!

I use only the xmame emulator with already of 1000 roms and all NeoGeo roms :P

I have no proper boxed games for linux. I have UT installed by using its linux installer. I have "the best of infogrames" version that doesnt install maps properly and found it a real pain to find the script to get these sorted!

i don't have boxed games for linux but i used to play Cannon Smash... was quite fun for a bit...

Hiya
I'm not certain that I understood you correctly so let me start there. Are you running Quake 3 in Linux with some version of Wine or Wine libraries ( ie Cedega, Xover, WineX, etc ) ? If so, d00d, go get the loki quake 3 installer. It runs native and it r0x. No problems with networking of any kind, in fact no problems of any kind especially with either the ( easy ) nVidia cards or ( somewhat harder ) AtI cards. You can still directly edit the "config.cfg" file for ultra tweaks and all the setup options work perfectly. The online gaming definitely benefits from the substantially superior networking stacks of Linux, so do not hesitate even if you're on dialup and it takes all day to download. Transgaming is worth the money for most peeps, but why use it when you don't have to? KeepItStupidSimple!

I don't have boxed games (yet). In windows my video card (Savage4) had only Direct3D support and I'm still new to linux. But also I don't have too much time for playing.... ....except for some nethack sessions....

i played NWN on my laptop both in XP pro, and RH9. the performance was about the same, but the graphics were way better under XP due to having an ATI vid card in my laptop. i have not tried it on a system with a Nvidia card to get the full effect and power of the card.

FYI i just used the default drivers from RH and did not compile any drivers. this will also lead to some of the lower graphics compaired to XP as i had the most current drivers from panasonic for XP.

---------------

most of the games i play are MMORPGs so im stuck keeping at least 1 M$ system (i use XP Pro) so i can play my games, but the first MMORPG that releases a native *nix game ill pick it up in a heartbeat. i would so much prefer to never log into an other windows system again but if i want to play games, and i love my games, then that is currently were im stuck.

i only have quake II, but there are so many i would by, eg Jedi Outcast (BEST GAME EVER), X-wing, Star Wars-Battlefront, Tiger Woods PGA tour, High Heat Baseball, and other stuff like that

I have set up a UT2004 server and installed the actuall game. Unfortunately with both Nvidia and ATI current cards the game play is slower than windows under full 3D acceleration. The UT2004 server is very fast however aftermarket maps may crash the server, some will some will not.
