A fps shooter with some problem solving thrown in,and theres a Linux client.

Yeah, Prey is a good FPS game and it runs in natively in linux very well thanks to icculus.org. Anyone who likes Doom3 or Quake4 will like Prey. You can buy it pretty cheap these days at Amazon or wherever you find it.
Here is a good guide for Prey if anyone is interested:

absolutely love both games!

Those are for Mac and Windoze only.

NONE of my favorite three games were mentioned! I'm a pretty hardcore gamer and quite surprised that these were missed:

Heroes of Newerth - the best game offering for linux hands down. S2 has done a great job with that one. It's a team based RTS. Good game for teens and older.

Vendetta Online - A space MMORPG. It's kinda boring at first, but it's a cool game. And made by a team of four!

TeeWorlds - A face paced online side-scroller. Probably the best for the 'tweens.

Bonus note:

Starcraft - Already mentioned that you can play in wine, but ICCup was not mentioned. With some minimal graphical glitches in the Battle.net interface, you can play on the league servers. The best of the best play in there, but you don't have to be good to play. And you can always get a game. Everything you need is on the ICCup website, including the Starcraft executables.

Cheers and happy gaming!

Thanks!

Do you mind if I copy your packages to my own public repo?

ponce · 12-10-2009, 03:07 AM

that is public too

btw, those are simply built from slackbuilds.org with sbopkg, you can use 'em as you like

Cool, thanks!

I plead guilty of being lazy!

Hey poncez,

Is there any way you could build bloodfrontier? I tried but getting this annoying "libSDL.so.2 can not open shared library error", maybe you got an idea how to fix this?

ponce · 12-12-2009, 10:04 AM

you can try this patch for 64 bit slackbuild.

Code:

*** bloodfrontier.orig/src/Makefile     2009-12-12 18:33:49.850629047 +0100

  ifeq ($(PLATFORM),Linux)
  CLIENT_LIBS+= -lrt

  ifeq ($(PLATFORM),Linux)

***************
*** 105,111 ****
  default: all
  
  enet/Makefile:
!       cd enet; chmod +x ./configure; ./configure
  
  libenet: enet/Makefile
        $(MAKE) -C enet/ all
--- 105,111 ----

  libenet: enet/Makefile
        $(MAKE) -C enet/ all

then i'll build it with

Code:

CFLAGS="-O2 -fPIC" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -fPIC" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib64 -L/lib64" make

poncez

Thanks but don't have any bloodfrontier slackbuild. :\

ponce · 12-13-2009, 12:52 AM

tried to do one (helped by AST)

http://omploader.org/vMnpjNw/bloodfrontier.tar.gz

unpack it, download B2 in the same folder, and launch it with

Code:

ARCH=x86_64 TAG=shylock ./bloodfrontier.SlackBuild

(by default is set for i686 ARCH)

tried and working fine (or at least it looks like

) on slack64 current.

~sHyLoCk~ · 12-13-2009, 12:58 AM

Cool thanks

will let you know. AST seems a handy tool, didn't know about that.

EDIT: WOah.. It works! Thanks again.

Tested this in my slack64 and runs smooth.

This deserves to be at slackbuilds for other slackers to enjoy. You should really submit it. Just a thought.

ponce · 12-13-2009, 01:56 AM

sorry, made a little correction to the slackbuild, new version (if you want to try it) is here (corrected above).

EDIT: happy it worked

I'll try submission

Aquaria now has a Linux port. And it's free until January 13th!

http://www.bit-blot.com/forum/index.php?topic=1928

The Windows version is one of the best games I've ever played.

Here's the trailer:
