Hey guys, I just got my ATI 9800pro card working under linux (woohoo!) and am going to get my game on. Unfortunatly, I have no clue how to go about doing this. So, I know that some games like ut2k4 have linux install, and AA has a version for linux, but what about games that are windows only? Let's take the game XIII - how would one go about this? Is there a windows emulator, like wine, but then wouldn't you have to do a windows install and then play it through wine in linux? I think I just need some background info on how gaming is gone about in the realm of tux. -Bill

There are lots of ways to install games in Linux (depending on the game's compatibility)...

Cedega/Point2Play (windows emulator) - http://www.transgaming.com
Linux Installers - http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/sf/l/li/liflg/

Also, search these forums for the particular game that you want to install and see what shows up. Lastly, read tutorials!!

Thank you so much for the information! That helps alot, as all I needed was just some of the basics. -Bill
