I thought the end of the parent comment was quite insightful. I am not trying to start a flame war, I was being completely serious. I also used to be a gamer and still know alot of people who are. I know there’s not that many games for linux, but there are some very nice games that aren’t well known, that should be. ![]() I’ve tried almost all of these games, and love some of them. Liquid War – – Unique multiplayer puzzle gameĮndgame: Singularity – – You are a computer that has gained self-awareness, and are trying to expand your capacities and evolve Neverball – – Try to balance a ball thru levelsĪrmagetron Advanced – – Race light bikes against other players and the cpuĪnd finally, not really 3d, but I would like to mention: PlaneShift – – Free MMORPG (haven’t played it in ages). Glest – – Very cool and complete warcraft-like strategy game, pity there’s no multiplayer yet. Urban Terror – – Former q3 mode, now has a standalone version too Some more of my favorite linux 3d games not mentioned are:Ĭube and Cube 2 “Sauerbraten” – and – Very cool 3d fps for online deathmatch I heard they’re working on a RPG mod, perhaps that will work out better. But indeed, there’s no much of a storyline. ![]() Bot deathmatch is ok too, once I’ve added skins and weapons from Doom and play at high levels in closed maps so they can give me a fair fight, if only in terms of sheer numbers. I don’t want to diss their work, the maps are superb and I very much enjoy playing multiplayer. True, the Sauerbraten team focuses on good looking maps and multiplayer rather than single player. And sometimes, if the map has open edges, they’ll fall outside but not quite die, so they’re out of reach and you can’t finish the levels. You need a convoluted map to make them avoid this behaviour, but then it means they’ll get blocked in some nooks and crannies and you have to look for them. It’s very simple to stand on a ledge out of the line of fire, wait for them to gather at the foot of the ledge like sheep and then safely rain rockets or grenades on them. It has switches and hidden areas and monsters that react to triggers, but it’s seriously impaired by the lack of advanced machinery that appeared in Quake2 (lifts, advanced doors, complex switches and triggers, and so on), plus its limited to a small set of enemies, a set of Quake skins that were in the public domain, albeit of exquisite quality.Įxcept the AI is quite dumb (forgets about you once you’re out of sight and won’t follow around more than one corner). I would compare it with the 1st Quake single player in terms of gameplay. It features a mode that involves getting through a map on a certain route and come out alive. I can tell you about Sauerbraten’s single player, which isn’t spectacular. The spherical keycaps look very much like the sort commonly seen on Apple ][+ keyboards of the era, though the (probably) greyish colour suggests they may have been from some (even more commonly seen) Made-In-Taiwan clone.As far as the rest of the games do any of them have a worth while single player mode, as in a story and not a bot death match? My guess is that crazy tronboard in the OP is probably just a bunch of random catchy glyphs, sorta like the not-quite-characters seen in the digital rain effect from the Matrix. ![]() And it's inspired Tron-themed gaming keyboards and mice. Plus, it appears to have some unique eye-candy "keyboards" here and there. The story appears to be a plausible way to both continue and forget the badness of the original Tron movie. True, this Tron still has the laughably emasculated Jeff Bridges in it, and doesn't have that chick in the skinsuit who so impressed me in those adolescent years, and it will probably still nod a reference to stupid PacMan.īut the CGI looks phenomenal of course. Actually this trailer was enough to convince me the new Tron will be worth seeing.
