On friday (July 9th) Im having my frist OFFICIAL lan party, but I dont have a variety of games for the ppl to select from, realy all of the games are FPS's, except Warcraft 3, and NetPanzer. I know they'll get bored QUIKE! So I would like some game suggestions, and fast, so I can try games out, and also burn them to a disk, so my guests can play them too. Im kinda full of FPS's, so I would like some RTS's, some fun Arcade stuff, and so on (u get the point) and nothing cheezy, I want to impress them. Second, THER GOING TO USE WINDOWS! WINDOWS! So i need GAMES that are free, and support WINDOWS as well as linux. THANX!

So far, I've got these games.

Any game suggestions, would be nice. And if they can be some sort of static binary, instead of source (for linux) that would be a hella lot better, because Mandrake 10 doesnt seem to be good for any source that I try to configure. (build enviroment is never SANE, so ya... if u gota fix to that, I would love to hear)

Unreal Tournament! (All three are native to both linux and windows, in my humble opinion the original was the best)

bzflag - That's quite a nice little party game - it can be very fun if you have a lot of people or are playing online through a router

"Other"...hmm...I don't know really what would "impress" them if it isn't an FPS or an RTS ?

Any other suggestions guys?

Andromeda 9 is good (though I think I spelled it wrong )

Just head over to www.happypenguin.org and look through their list of games. If you like bloody 2D multiplayer shootem uppers then try XEvil or RedPixel

Quake 3 is Linux or Windows and its fun, Heretic 2 is windows linux and it rocks. Solder of Fortune 1 is windows and linux and it has ok multiplayer.

Thats all I can think of besides Unreal Tournament(s), but that was already mentioned here.

Well... There is Tuxracer also.

It's not a LAN game, but I suggest trying out Deadly Rooms of Death. It's freeware for both Windows and Linux. For a "multiplayer" experience, you and your friends can race to see who can finish a level the quickest. That adds a different spin to what's otherwise a completely turn based game.

how long is is Lan party gona last? cause that looks like a fair amount of games, and unless your pulling a REALLY long lan party, I doubt that you'd even be able to play all of what you have listed, you could get quake and have everybody install tenebre (search SF for it) thats a engine mod that adds dynamic lights as well as a number of other cool features. or wait a month and play Doom3 at your party!

The LAN party is going to last for about 2 to 3 days. Maybe more if they decide to stay longer. Like I said before (not being mean tho) I alrady have a good amount of FPS, but that Soldier Of fortune sounds pretty cool, I seen a few pics of it, and at CompUSA they have it for 9 dollars, so thats a game ima go get right now. More suggestions THANX FOR THE REPLYS!

O and its my BDay party, so its going to be this weekend for sure. (my realy BDay was July 6)

wesnoth's kinda fun, march your armies around and kick the snot of each other, some maps support up to 7 players. http://www.wesnoth.org/

God a problem with that, I cant compile that game (westnoth) it says taht my BUILD enviroment is not SANE or something. Using mandrake 10.

Happy birthday dood!!!

Well I really enjoy Liero. I know you can get Linux clones, and I think they have networking. Like I said, go look over at HappyPenguin.org

But... Go here:

Thanx! Wow that savage game looks insane. But low on money, so ima just go get the demo, more then likley the other games, should tire every one before I get to this game. Thanx everyone for the replys!
