I just installed ubuntu and have been playing some of the games, but i was wondering if anyone knew of some good arcade games for fee that are on linux. I know that there is one with tux the pengiun (or a few with him) but what are they called and where can i get them. Im also looking for like space invaders or something like that.

I always liked Galaga. A good version in the repositories is xgalaga.

sudo apt-get install xgalaga

You should also be able to find others by browsing the games section in synaptic or by searching for the title, like "space invaders". Mos tof the descriptions tend to mention what popular game it resembles.

Happy gaming!

If you use synaptic, and have all the repos installed, then there are loads..
Just go into the Games section

the ones off my head

Chromium BSU = good shoot em up
Planet Penguin Racer = the racing game with TUX
gl-117 = nice flight simulator
project starfighter = good old style game

Anything like "Space Invaders" .....with decent sound, to prove my Soundcard is working? (Audigy 2,= I recall)
I presume I can use the qwerty keyboard, at least until I buy something better.......

ninvaders, spaceorbit, and xinv3d

those I can list from synaptic.

EDIT: I found a few nice games in Synaptic: abuse-SDL, epiphany, lbreakout2 and gweled.
