Re: [PLUG] Linux Gaming

[Sam Gleske <sam.mxracer@gmail.com>]

I list out a couple of proprietary games in on LinuxQuestions.org.
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-games-33/what-games-would-you-like-to-see-ported-to-linux-105965/page91.html#post4554300

In addition to that I was going to recommend Humble Indie Bundle but Doug beat me to it.  There's several other open source games which I enjoy playing such as...
xmoto
The Battle for Wesnoth
SuperTux

TuxKart
BZFlag
Chromium BSU
Breakout
GCompris (for kids)

And a couple others I can't think of off the top of my head at the moment.

included thus far, so you could do a lot worse than tracking down the
creators' websites and seeing what your Linux purchasing options are:
