If you like the classic Asteroids from the 80's try Maelstrom. It is all and better than the original classic. Problem is with high res. display the window is too small and I am unaware of how to make it full screen, definitely annoyining. Balazar Brothers is realy quite interesting with fabulous graphics and I have just begun playing it. It has problems on Debian Lenny on my system but seems ok so far on Debian Etch. My most favorite and my daughters as well is a realy cute game called Machinarium, it cost only 10 bucks and is woth every penny. I am just about to the end of it. Yeh I'me new too... Jon
All excellent games that I play on my computer using Ubuntu Linux 10.04 64 bit. They should work equally well for any Linux distribution/architecture and the hardware requirements aren't very high at all. Some of them cost money, but they all have native Linux clients and are excellent games.
Warsow is probably the slickest looking game on linux, needs a good comp to run and few hours to get used to dodging system. sudo apt-get install warsow
Free FPS, team/class based, runs on Windows and Linux. This was the multiplayer part of RTCW (Return To Castle Wolfenstein). Was completed but there was some problem with the developers so they released it as a free, totally stand alone game. Free as in cost, the engine is open source, but the textures/models/etc are copyright. Still completely free to play.
The community is still alive and there are THOUSANDS of user made mods.
