Poll : ways of playing games on Ubuntu

[Browser_ice]

Just a survey because I am curious to see how the majority play games on Ubuntu.

what if we play linux-native emulators?

I'm genuinely considering modding it to play that little russian song on the original... :mrgreen:

1. Mupen64plus :D
2. Project64/1964 in Windows (for those games that don't like mupen)
3. Wine <--Voted for in poll
4. Native games
5. Other games in Windows dual boot (if they dont work in Wine)

Yeah, I'm a big emulator fan :)

Why can't I tick multiple boxes? Since I play both native linux games (including for "commercial Windows games" with linux clients, when available), and otherwise use Wine to play Windows games, I really can't just tick one box.

Same here, but I picked WINE for Windows games

Native for me.

[compiledkernel]

Native, Native, Native.

http://gaming.gwos.org is all about the native.

Im kind of new at gaming but I like the native games more than others that run on wine and such.

I hardly play any games on PC. I know it might be just me but PC is not for gaming! :P

I voted native, but I also play games through wine, and some thruogh my warez-boarded copies of crossover linux professional and cedega 6.05. The - only reason I play native games mostly is that they are often free. I do have some commercial games though, and I always buy them. Why? Because having to download a .iso with somewhere between 6 to 43 files from rapidshare without a premium account is too much trouble, and premium link generators never work (I tried dozens of them).

Since I don't have windows on my comp, the appdb has to be pretty optimistic about windows games I buy, but frankly, I don't care if a game is native or not, as long as it runs an is fun to play.

The non-native games I bought:

- elder scrolls 3: morrowind

- elder scrolls 4: oblivion

- Prey

- Icewind dale 2

- project eden

(Offcourse I bought more of them whn I still had windows, but this is what I've bought since the day I have replaced my windows with ubuntu)

Native games:

- Northland

- Heretic 2

- Enemy territory quake wars

- Thinking about savage 2:)

That's it!

Hummm, I was expecting to see a bigger percentage on Cedega.

50 voters when there is way much more members connected at any times ?

[obidose]

I either play native or boot into windows. CBA with the headache of getting something non native to work, we all know problems ensue so much more of the time than they shold.
