I'd like to see:
Need for Speed 4 / 5
GTA 3 / Vicecity
Empire Earth
Half Life I (with all the expansion packs)
Half life II (if it ever gets released)
on Linux. With those I could finally kill off my win XP
Id gladly buy them again if it meant that software companies would realise that there is a market for games in linux and start making games for linux as well as windows.

why are u interest in a game create or plubished by Micros*** that sucks donīt give no cent to them.....
These are the games I would like to see ported to Linux (no wine):
1.The entire GTA series
2. The Worms series
3.Warcraft 2 and 3
4.Snood (ya ya ya frozen bubble is cool too)
5.Splinter Cell
6. Better emulators for old video game systems(snes9x...)
7.And just about any new game that sells more than a million copies (I am sure the company can afford it)
I acually plan on going to school for computer science and I will be forced to learn DirectX . If I start programing I will refuse to use it (screw microsoft). I understand that it's not Linux's existence to overthrow M$, although if Linux gets better and more popular I feel that "windows only" companies will start cross-platforming. I would rather pay 50 bucks for a linux copy then 30 bucks for a windows copy. *snickers* In fact ALL of my microsoft software (even the OS) has been pirated. I realize that stealing is wrong and I dont steal, I just feel that Microsoft has ripped me off in the past so I am just taking my monies worth back (I wont give out my pirated software). I think that the linux community would rather spend the money on helpful software because they dont have to pay 250 for an OS and 400 bucks to type letters. i plan on e-mailing a large portion of game developers saying that we (the linux community)) are interested in buying there products. Although I refuse to buy windows software anymore (M$ or third party), I only pirate M$ crap and I wont take a program from a thirld party (like activision) because THAT would be theft.

u could learn open gl much better than directZ īcoz directZ doesnīt work on linux but that is my opinion...
A decent ww2 flight sim , i dont really buy windows games unless its for the kids but, ive downloaded warbirds and dawn of aces and found its quite fun flying the older planes.
ultima online. the silent hill series, all 3d shooters, ffxi, ok, lets just port everygame then we wont have to whine to the companies about being biased. pigs!
there are some games that r interresting but we canīt port all games to linux, but if the players of those games r ready to help the programers to port to linux then iīll be wrong ( iīm french spoken sorry for errors in english!! ). we need to make a kind of petion for asking to the developpers to port their games to linux... but only a big United community of linux users could make the developpers to port their games.
