any good linux games?

shycalais · 10-16-2003, 12:02 AM

something simple would be best as i've only got dialup

but are there any good games out there floating around.
i'd prefer strategy, but RPG or a bit of action is fine!

He said he uses dial-up. I don't think he's going to download a 260 MB file on his modem.

I used to do it lol.. Thats how I donwloaded my first Linux distribution (all 3 CD's).. It took me like a week just to download 1 of them.

i'll deal with 260mb as long as i can continue downloads after i get d/c.. i've just handed in my last uni assignment and need something to pass the time until exams!

the bsd-games package is good if you like text based games

Any word on whether or not HL2 will be ported to Linux?

uglydot · 10-16-2003, 04:20 PM

It won't be any time remotly soon.

shycalais · 10-17-2003, 03:31 AM

didn't the source get leaked?? someone on here was playing with it and had it compiling in *nix. just need to reroute directx modules i think he was saying... will be very interesting if it gets released before HL2 winblows version

uglydot · 10-17-2003, 05:23 AM

My question is, will network compatability be achieved...

Probably Valve is going to make a server port for HL2 and neglect to make a client, just like they have done with every other Valve product before. So the Linux community, which is a hungry market and full of very potential customers, will remain an untapped resource for Valve.
