What games would you like to see ported to Linux?

Any or all games from the Elder Scrolls series, especially: Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind (including expansions), and Oblivion.

Though my PC's spec couldn't handle Oblivion even on Xp...

I'm running Oblivion on Cedega and it runs beautifully. The only problem at this point is that Nvidia did something to their latest drivers that causes the 3D rendering to leave bad artifacts, but soon either the Cedega team or Nvidia will fix the problem.

almost all games that I got to run under Linux, runs smoother than Windows. The only game that isn't too smooth (towards middle and end) is Call of Duty 2.

There is a website called www.ijji.com It has games like Gunz, Soldier Front and many more!
Please ask the vendor to port in too!

Port in Conquer 2.0, Maple Story as well as World Domination too!

Mine is an old Athlon Thunderbird (or is it Duron???) 900 MHz with 128 MB RAM and 32 MB video card...

So, you see, I need to do a LOT of upgrading if I want to run Oblivion on my PC... Or maybe I could convince my mother to swap her 2 GHz Celeron with mine...

VALVe Software, Halo, Halo 2, Medal of Honor series, ijji games; Drift City and GunZ: The Duel and SoldierFront

EA aquires bioware

Great games and some linux binaries on their website, anyone care to guess how long it'll take for those to disappear? maybe I'm just biased because I still haven't got over how badffdly they destroyed Ultima Online once they got ahold of it.

Agreed. EA should really stick to sports. Guess we won't see any good DnD games coming from Bioware anymore now.

Hi, I think I posted here a long time ago, but here I am again anyway. To answer the original petition, there's one game I'd love to see ported to linux: Thief: Deadly Shadows; to my like is the best game I've ever played, it's simply unique and it would help me getting rid of windows

So do I.
hei hei.

Do you know the two words?

Warcraft III works great in WINE, so I don't see much reason to port, though seeing city of heroes/villains ported would be nice.

Person_1873 · 11-13-2007, 12:08 AM

i'd love to see some free internet games such as 9Dragons and Gunz Online ported, they are awesume games that i miss sorely since i moved from win, i would port them my self if i could gain access to their source code.

i think someone needs to get onto ijji and ask them to create a linux launcher for gunz atleast

ps. has anyone mannaged to get any games running in bochs, i've heard its an excellent emulator for win

Most Internet games use the Shockwave player. If there was a Shockwave plugin for Linux, it would make a lot of games available for Linux. In fact, if shockwave worked, my kids would have little reason to boot into Windows.

You can use shockwave in Linux with crossover office.
