hello.

blobwars is the game that i enjoyed most. pretty oldschool, but i had many hours of fun and beat it three times in different difficulty levels ;)

so long,

Highest excellence is like water.
The virtue of water appears in its benefiting all things,
and in its occupying, without striving,
the low place which all men dislike.

True Combat:Elite is very cool.
It's a mod of Enemy Territory so you'll need to have that installed as well.
here are some screenshots.

Openttd. http://www.openttd.org/ Openttd uses Linux scripts to run the game, but also requires installing some data files from the original DOS game. I'd like to see more of this technique.

I have that game for Macintosh. I only bought it because the retailer was going out of business and it was cheap. (I'm a software junkie)

I don't really play games. Don't know why, but I never really got into the whole video game thing. I have a few games on my machine that were installed with Gnome. I usually uninstall them, but I kept them this time for some reason. Of those games, I play Mahjongg, Aislerot Solitaire, and Five or More.

I also have a couple of games that were installed with KDE. I uninstalled most of the KDE games, but I do like to play Konquest once in a while.

I guess I probably play Mahjongg the most, so it gets my nod for best Linux game.

Oh... Larry. One of the very few games I got totally hooked on way back when. I didn't have a PC at home back then so I stayed late after work to play Larry (3 I think it was) on my office PC. It took quite a few nights but I did solve it :)

there is no other purpose to a game but time wasting entertainment and one game wastes time at the same rate as another - so one is just as good as another
actually one game can waste much more time than another..

I can't decide between Mindrover and the various Freespaces. I'm loving them equally just now.

WoW - under Wine.

Ok, I know I'm not original, but on this very same machine it crashes approx every 20 mins under windows... havent had it crash yet as long as I stay away from the gfx menu under linux (known issue).

And PySol :D
Using rm -rvf * to remove old backups... lazy.
Realising you were in / as root ... priceless.

It's similar to counter strike but better(imo). And it's free.
