 Posted: Jun 12, 2005 4:59am Post subject: Gaming on linux |
 |
|
OK, so I'm hoping someone with some knowledge can save me a few hours getting frustrated with Google.
I'm looking for a game. This game has several requirements, hopefully nothing too much.
Requirement #1: 100% Linux compatable. I don't have a legal licence key for windows, and for this project I have no intention of buying one.
Requirement #2: Should be freeware/open source. I'm poor. Go figure.
Requirement #3: It must be of the "Racing/Arcade" genre. I want a simple arcade racing game. None of this "careers" crap. If its there I'm not too worried, my preference is that its not.
Requirement #4: Should support a non-keyboard control, IE Joystick, or preferably a steering wheel setup.
Running specifications are unimportant, although if it REQUIRES more than 2.0gHz (as opposed to recommended) I might start worrying...
Any suggestions will be accepted... #3 is slightly bendable... |

| Though it doesn't fit in with your requirements, I just bought Neverwinter Nights Platinum on DVD and have a NWN server and client running on Linux. |

| try looking up games made for PC and MacOS, most games compatible with MacOS will run fine on just about any linux distro with a tweak or 2, tho I strongly do not suggest linux for gaming, best you can do is get a console (PS2, xbox etc...) imo.... |

I have, almost every blizzard entertainment game (diablo/2, warcraft series, starcraft) will run decently on linux, except world of warcraft (at least for me) otherwise I say go with winblows for gaming |
