Best Free Games for Linux?

Dude, please give us the secret to running Betrayal at Krondor in Xdosemu. This game means so much for me, and for so many others out there!

For me it depends on what you all mean by "free"..you can get any game "free"...its called WAREZ.

So if that is one of the ways u mean free...I'd say
Counter strike
and
UT

BUt if you are talking legit free games...then
AA Operations, and AA Special forces.

Sorry forgot about this thread a long time ago, and its been a while since I installed the game. But as I recall I think the main issue to play the game is to use xdosemu instead of dosemu.
Put the zip file in your ~/dosemu/freedos, extract it. type xdosemu. Run the setup things and then type krondor.

Hope this helps.

I've installed ET, but I'm having some major issues with it:
Its really, really slow
Graphics aren't that good.
Now I know that its going to run like this on my current system which has integrated video card that offloads onto the main processor, but if I get a new AGP card, is it going to get any better?

LavaDevil94 · 03-30-2004, 02:05 PM

probably yes, but make sure the rest of your system is ok with agp (your processer, mobo, etc.), and that agp is setup properly. still, maybe you dont have direct rendering enabled on your current video card?

PS: if youre going to buy a video card, get an nvidia one (preferably a geforce 4 or a geforce 5600 or higher), because the ati drivers suck.
