Hi Novene, when U talk about giving a windows copy,do U give them with the licence? Why do that on a SFD event? Kind Regards,
I meant a windows copy of Battle for Wesnoth. It is on the Open CD. A part of me definitely *wanted* to hold back and insist they run Linux to play the game, but that would have been against the spirit of the day and would have backfired. I'd rather people use FOSS under windoze than not use it at all. BTW Paul, thanks for the tip on Thousand Parsec. I am going to be playing *so* many games this weekend..... - Noven

One of the biggest reasons I hear from people against switching to Linux is the lack of games, so we had a networked Battle for Wesnoth tournament - which the gamers *loved*. The impact was somewhat diminished when I could give them a windows copy to take home, but meh, it's still FOSS.
When people talk about 'games' on Linux, I find they usually mean FPS-games. Like temulous, nexuiz, enemy territory.
There are also a few racing games. VDrift looks like it would be pretty good with a racing wheel. I haven't managed to play at all well with just the keyboard.
I also recommend Wesnoth. And lincity-ng is pretty good. The kids really love Supertux, Pingus, planetpenguin racer, Frets On Fire. And when I get a dance mat I'm fairly sure they'll go mad about Stepmania.
