So I then prefered Wine.

I do, however, run Neverwinter Nights natively on Linux, and run quite a few adventure games through ScummVM and some old classics in DOSBOX.

I also either use WINE or Crossover Games for a bunch of other games, including Source based games such as Team Fortress 2, Half-Life 2 and Portal. I do play other games through Crossover Games as well, but sometimes I pop it up on XP if I want to get full performance without quirks.

Too bad they discontinued America's Army for Linux sad
There's also this site I've heard of, the Linux Game Tome, I think, that indexes a lot of games for Linux. Worth checking out.

Oh, there's also Quake Live, which plays in your browser, and Runescape, if that counts tongue

Yes, you could consider this simulator a very expensive game. But don't think that SLI and Crossfire are for LAN parties only.

HAHA!

And I haven't seen a game console yet that surpasses the hardware I work with every day smile

But I emulated it with Wine, so I didn't try a native LX game until now, as I am not a gamer, except my XBOX360. YEAH, Windows. big_smile
