sudo apt-get install solarwolf

Gridwars. Not available in the repos due to an intellectual property dispute, but you can get it here (http://www.getdeb.net/app.php?name=GridWars+2).

Within the repos, I'd suggest Battle for Wesnoth, OpenArena and Planet Penguin Racer.

Have fun!

I have heard Cultivation (http://cultivation.sourceforge.net/) is awesome but have yet to try


a video game by Jason Rohrer (http://jasonrohrer.n3.net/)


Cultivation is a game about a community of gardeners growing food for themselves in a shared space.

Cultivation is quite different from most other games. It is a social simulation, and the primary form of conflict is over land and plant resources---there is no shooting, but there are plenty of angry looks. It is also an evolution simulation. Within the world of Cultivation, you can explore a virtually infinite spectrum of different plant and gardener varieties.

All of the graphics, sounds, melodies,and other content in Cultivation are 100% procedurally generated at playtime. In other words, there are no hand-painted texture maps---instead, each object has a uniquely "grown" appearance. Every time you play, Cultivation generates fresh visuals, music, and behaviors. You can read more about what I was trying to do with Cultivation in this essay (http://www.northcountrynotes.org/jason-rohrer/arthouseGames/seedBlogs.php?action=display_post&post_id=jcr13_1169054799_0&show_author=1&show_date=1)

Read my open letter (http://www.northcountrynotes.org/jason-rohrer/arthouseGames/seedBlogs.php?action=display_post&post_id=jcr13_1168438267_0&show_author=1&show_date=1) to the other Slamdance Finalists about the controversy surrounding SCMRPG (http://www.columbinegame.com/).

Cultivation is free---if you think it's cool, please support my work (http://hcsoftware.sourceforge.net/jason-rohrer/supportMyWork.php).http://cultivation.sourceforge.net/

Repos

Nexuiz (http://alientrap.org/nexuiz/index.php?module=downloads) but I'm pretty sure the one in the repos is the latest.

Tremulous (http://trem.tjw.org/backport/linux/tremulous.x86)- Rename to tremulous and Install from the repos then go to /usr/lib/tremulous and replace tremulous with the tremulous you downloaded there.
Then
sudo chmod 777 /usr/lib/tremulous

And make sure Compiz, Beryl, or Compiz-Fusion is not running in the background for both games.

Go :here (http://duels.com/users/register/ezekielnin) and subscribe to it if you want, it's free.

Some of these sound fascinating, particularly the Cultivation one. I'll waste some time when I get home.

(By the way, I've made loads of posts here, yet my post count is still four. Can someone give it a kick?!)

[linuxlizard]

You may have to google some of these, but as far as nice looking, polished games go:

Battle for Wesnoth
Pingus
Neverball
I have no tomatoes
Frets on Fire
Legends the game
Open Arena
Warsow
Urban Terror
Funky Funguloids
Mania Drive
Super Tux
Secret Mario Chronicles
Chromium
FloboPuyo
Torcs
Dark Oberon
Globulation
Wormux
VDrift

These are all very good looking games, and ought to keep you busy for a while:popcorn:

At the moment, my favorites- Legends, Urban Terror and wesnoth

I have tried Cultivation. It is beautiful and unique, but so annoying and hard. The AI is so rude, it just goes to your land and steals your crop, then they polute the land... But, that is why it is a challenge: it would be too easy without the shared land conflict.

Can you give me directions on how to install it?

<regarding Cultivation />
Can you give me directions on how to install it?
Since it is not in the Ubuntu repositories, one must install it manually. I always refer to this guide:
How to install ANYTHING in Ubuntu! (http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/#installing_a_package_manually)
