What are you playing right now on Ubuntu?

[Ozor Mox]

Just wondered what games people are in to playing on Ubuntu right now, plus a little description and link. It might give others ideas of what to play if they see something they like, and goes to show that there's plenty of games to play on Ubuntu!

Me:

Battle for Wesnoth
Fantasy turn-based strategy. It's very professionally made, a huge amount of fun especially in multiplayer with friends, and has countless maps, scenarios and campaigns produced by the community collected in an add-on server.
www.wesnoth.org

Scorched 3D
Turn-based strategy similar to Worms and Scorched Earth. Great graphics, multiplayer, and the apocalypse mod that I have just discovered for some proper destruction!
www.scorched3d.co.uk

Simutrans
Highly detailed transport simulation game like Transport Tycoon but with more realism in my opinion (passengers and mail have destinations for example)...freeware but should be going open source soon with the release of version 1.0. Lots and lots of community contribution in the form of graphics "paks".

[Naegling23]

World of Warcraft

frets on fire

and awaiting either UT3 or quake Wars

[Major_Kong]

[Scott00]

http://www.warsow.net/ is a nice FPS based on Quake2.. It runs directly from the directory also :)

[thegreenblob]

Open Arena (http://openarena.ws/)

Alien Arena (http://red.planetarena.org/)

And, Starsiege: Tribes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starsiege:_Tribes) in wine.

[nrs]

Unlike previous Paradox Games, which either focused on exploration and colonization (Europa Universalis) or warfare (Hearts of Iron), Victoria focuses in internal management, covering the industrialization and social/political changes in a country. The game itself gives a lot of importance to the economy of a country, having a complex market system which is described as being one of the best economic simulators ever madehttp://www.paradoxplaza.com/images/Screens/Victoria/victoria5.jpg

[ubuntu27]

My favorite games are

Bos Wars (http://www.boswars.org/) - A Starcraft like RTS game. Bos Wars is a futuristic real time strategy game (RTS) and it's Open SOurce. In a RTS game, the player has to combat his enemies while developing his war economy. The trick is to balance the effort put into building his economy and building an army to defend and attack the enemies. Can be download a deb at getdeb.net (http://www.getdeb.net/app.php?name=Bos+Wars)

Tremulous (http://tremulous.net/) - It is considered the best Open Source games by many. Tremulous is a free and open source team-based first-person shooter with RTS elements. ame play is similar to the Quake II mod Gloom and the Half-Life mod Natural Selection. The game features two teams, humans and aliens, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.

Currently, I'm playing DooM 2. On Nightmare. ;)

Generally, I don't play much PC games any more. Pretty much, I play Tetris, Mahjong, Shisen Zho, various Solitaire card games, and Doom. I do still play a few rogue-likes, such as ADOM, DoomRL, or Nethack and I keep a large number of old DOS games installed on the computer to play. Mostly RPGs.

[BeastlyKings]

Legends, its pretty sweet check it out!

Everyone seems to like Tremulous but I've tried it and can't really get into it.

[weblordpepe]

I'm still playing DOOM 2. Using the Doomsday Engine.

[beeldings]

World of Warcraft via CrossOver

Halo via Wine

[kernel_script]

Silkroad - A 3D medieval and Chinese fantasy style online game. I'm playing it through WIne. It have really beautiful graphics.

Tales of Pirates - A online 3D pirate style game. Good characters movement, good graphics but the camera is a pain in the neck... I'm not playing it too much... I've played it trough Wine...

Dofus - A cool innovative 100% Flash made game, it is simple but cool graphics. It is native on Linux. I don't play it to much more too...

[Unix_Wizard]

Oh yes I forgot about dosbox. You can legally download lots of free classic dos games that are abandonware from www.abandonia.com. It's so unfortunate that eye of the beholder is not abandonware :(.

Nexeus
Wolfenstien: Enemy Territory

[tenmillionmilesaway]

If i was playing right now i would be playing openttd www.openttd.org. Its an open source remake of transport tycoon. But it does require the original graphics files. Get them from the original game or look for the on the web (not that I am encouraging that particular way of getting them)

[mister_k81]

Right now, I'm checking out Those Funny Funguloids. Great game! Gutsy Debs can be found here:

Very nice and relaxing game.

[benton]

Super Tux of course! It's in the repos, for small kids it's an awesome game.

[Baby Boy]

Super Tux of course! It's in the repos, for small kids it's an awesome game.

My sister plays it all the time, that's one reason why she keeps asking me to use my laptop with Ubuntu instead of my parents' computer with Windows. (she also likes Compiz)

Can't wait for ST2 to be out, ST1 lacks level variety (still a nice little game though).

[md5hash]

Second Life

Im now playing:
Half-life 2 Deathmatch under wine.

[escobar_]

I recently bought the Orange Box (HL2, HL2 Episode 1 & 2, Portal and TF2) which works perfectly on wine. That's pretty much everything I play. :)

[karth]

Orange Box as well, though Portal keeps on crashing when th first countdown hits 00:00 (when the cell door is supposed to open).
Nevertheless, TF2 and EP1/2 all run perfectly.

I'm also into Savage, Planeshift, and Ultima Online (Wine)

[Baby Boy]

I've just discovered what a beauty GNOME Mahjongg is :). So at the moment it's only that.

[Hortinstein]

Dofus, on Rosal charecter Red-Threat....that game is amazing

[KhaaL]

ET: quake wars. Playing it in wait for UT3
NWN. It's amazing how many mods there is for this game, it's like a eternity machine that never runs out of content... Anyone fancy a game? ;)

I hope to play Civ4 on linux when total realism mod is compatible with BTS.
Oh, and i just got alpha centauri - alien crossfire working in gutsy :P

[aoanla]

Portal (the rest of Orange Box is a wee bit unstable on my system, but I can happily play Portal in 15min segments)
nethack

hi

i'm playing ut2004 and i'm jus trying to get a copy of alien arena and open arena, all linux native no emulator required lol

cheers

[Cyberponcho]

I just reinstalled ubuntu a few days ago and i'm running age of wonders, it's an old strategy game that i just can't put away, i have also run starsiege tribes with success.
Speaking of which, has anybody run starsiege? it's the one game with hercs and tanks (before starsiege tribes) i can run the installer but it's always missing a dll file.
I hope i didn't offend anyone by posting a question here, sorry if i did :(

[mivo]

I have to admit I have been playing more on the PSP and the DS lately, since it's nice to get away from a computer every so often. Computer, for me, frequently means "work". :)

When I do play on the PC, it's usually play Quake Wars (love the FieldOps), NWN (the Infinite Dungeons premium module), Battle for Wesnoth, Shredder/PyChess, or Gnome Mahjongg.

I plan on buying Ankh 2 and X3 (current release date is March), since both have Linux versions. I already have X3 for Windows, but I haven't had a Windows PC in quite time, so I'm actually happy that the game is finally released for Linux, too. :)

[doorknob60]

Runescape :P
SimCity 4 Deluxe with Wine
Frets on Fire
And some other random games

[uberlube]

Id really love to get my hands on a copy of simcity 4. I was pretty choked to find out that 3 Unlimited doesnt works under wine.

[doorknob60]

There's a native Linux version of SC3K. Not that hard to find a torrent of it, which I consider legal if you have the Windows version (I do).
Here's a guide to make it work with newer kernels: http://bashu.wordpress.com/2007/04/15/simcity-3000-on-ubuntu-edgy/
