I need a good game

[tuahaa]

Hello everybody

I would like to know of any good games (aside from Wesnoth- I've had enough of it) my laptop can handle, preferably native. This is what I have:

2.13Ghz CPU single core
128mb Intel card
2gb RAM
Linux Mint 7 (based on 9.04 Ubuntu Jaunty)

The problem here is that I have an Intel card, which does not mix with Jaunty. I should be able to play games that require better graphics when Linux Mint 8 is released (based on 9.10 Karmic).

Thanks

Sacred 1. There was an article in a Dutch magazine named "Linux" about it playing native on Linux.

Neverwinter Nights.
Baldur's Gate

and my personal favourite...
Torment Planescape.

Very oldy but still good!!!

You need to lax the expectation of the graphic subject, most games aren't made for linux ;)
Why not try them out, they may have great gameplay.

I doesn't matter for me anyway. It's great that they are making games for Linux that actually works my computer :)

Some of the best games in the world have terrible graphics, take a look at nethack and it's myriad clones/spinoffs.

TEEWORLDS is awesome if you have a mouse:D

I currently work at a "3D department" in a media company as a programmer. This department specializes in 3D art, similar to what you see in TV and in games. One of the artists there - a very talented one - is passionate about creating cars and other vehicles. His results beat most detailed 3D models you can find out there (with exception of course).

The problem is, it takes a lot of time to build one. I'm not sure how long it took to make his latest car, but he's working on an F16 for more than a month and is still far from finished. I assume he needs about the same time for a car.

Now lets assume he needs about two months for a single car. That means, if he is to work on this car for two months, he has to earn expenses for these two months. In Greece, from where i am, you need at least 1000 euros per month to have a decent life as a single (i think he's not, so he needs more but anyway). That is about 2000 euros.

In other words, his car costs at least 2000 euros to him to make.

A game contains much more than a car.

Half Life will run in Wine with those specs. It's a damn good game, and Wine handles the GoldSrc engine flawlessly.

Isn't F-16 a plane? and speaking of planes, I also like those flying shooting sims. I really feel like playing games such as Project IGI and Command and Conquer 2: Tiberian Sun (and RA2 for that matter).

I still have my TS disc, but the problem is the game slows down in wine if I move my cursor :(
