Hi there,
Where (e.g. on th einternet?) could I find 'Penguin Golf', it's a solitaire card game on the Knoppix cdrom, but now I want to install it on my Mandrake computer.
I don't think it is known yet.... my guess would be that they will be fairly scalable , and will probably run on a mid range machine (something in the 1.2 ghz range with a GeForce 2 or 3)....They need to push the boundaries, but also maxamize thier customer base. If they said that the game required a 3.2 ghz system with a Top of the line radeon, then they are going to severly limit the number of people who can play the game, and this of course also limits the number of people that will BUY the game.
It is great to see that there are more and more linux games...
I hope that there will be more games ported to linux.
I am changing to linux this weekend. I only play AA so it is useless to stay under windows. I had quite some trouble getting my graph. card to work.
but to return to the topic.
Half-life could be ported to linux. It is quite possible, and it looks like the devs had even put changes in their source to make it linux-compatible.
So I guess you will be able to play it under linux. However this is just a rumour and I haven't got the source on my HD at the moment. (should check IRC for that.) Just to give you guys some hope.
Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri -- unfortunately, Loki is no longer around but it'd be nice to see the code OpenSourced, or see a company continue this awesome game (another expansion pack)!

Hi, I know this thread is as old as fire, but HAS anyone been able to get the linux version lately?
I'm having a really hard time trying to run ANYTHING in wine.

Right now, I think you're SOL. Alpha Centauri is by far the hardest to find loki title. There are apparently is no way to get a Win version to work as a Linux native like as in the Quake, Doom and Unreal games...
Distribution: ElementaryOS Freya as main, every other ubuntu-based as testing

By far *the* most addictive game I've ever played.
