sims n black & white ( good time killers)
cossacks, age of empires etc, panzer generals (strategy, trun-based etc)
all FPS's
and of course, anything having to do with starwars
although, the computer I have now probably would even be able to run most modern cames
(800 mHz, 256 RAM, slooooooow fsb, geforce 2 gfx card)
No point in Warcraft 3.. it runs perfectly in wine
I'd rather see something else, like Civ3
I know freeciv.. and have used it but it's not as good (I am planning to contribute to it, over summer )
Civ3.. Alpha Centauri, Panzer General 1 (2&3 sucked)
Tropico (or at least fix the wine bug with the mouse)
Star Trek Armada 2
runs in wine? i have to try it then...is it maybe possible to import a campaign (save game)? i have a save file on my d: (/dev/hda8) disk...it's a couple of files with w3p and w3z extensions...can i paste them and use them when playing war3 with wine?
Yes Nechos, its possible. I recommend useing WineX for Warcraft3 though, not sure if the regular wine runs it. I get 100% perfect performance out of that game every bit as fast as my friends that run it on Windows.
Oh yeah, and I'd like to see halflife 2 and every single Dungeons and Dragons game have linux native clients. Also the Neverwinter Nights Aurora Toolset would be a great thing to have.
I'd really like to see Warcraft III also. Unreal Tournament 2003 is enough first person shooter for me, but I really haven't found anything at the level of Warcraft III for *nix.
Before asking for ports, take a look at whats coming out too. Not sure how many know about Dominions 2, but from what I can see its going to be great in terms of strategy:
Yes we need more flight sims, especially combat ones, sports games etc.
In fact, feel free to mail or e-mail the vendors yourself, just be polite (unless its Macromedia...) and state that you're a Linux user. Numbers are hard for them to come by and only a few companies have the balls to take this step (Bioware, Illwinter and ID to name a few) and most are actually quite happy .
Do any of the Myth games run in linux/bsd? I havent played myth since a demo I had for my old Mac performa 400 about 5 years ago.
i really miss that game!!
