I played WoW for 3 years when it first came...
its not open source, but there is nhl94.com. They host an updated rom of the classic genesis title nhl94. So, you get a fun game with modern rosters. Its not 3d, but it can play on any system.
I got the laptop in dec. 2008, so its about a year and a half old.

Some extra information. I left it to fully charge. Once fully charged, I removed the AC adapter and left it on battery power. I followed the discharge rate using the gnome power manager. After...
sorry, I have two identical threads, mods, can you please delete this one.
I have a pangolin performance. Using the battery tool, I am following the discharge on the battery pack. The battery gets to somewhere around 97% or so (After a few minutes), and the computer just...

Well, I've sort of been down this road before, I've had a few different setups that I have created with varying degrees of success. As for the actual setup and install, I cant be of too much help,...
yeah!!!!
Time to dust off my old copy of half-life 2
This means more games of course, but holy crap, it should make installation a breeze!
and of course, we have id, ut3, and source game...
mentioned final fantasy and golden sun, which are classified as JRPG's...more of the eastern style than the WoW, guild wars, dungeons and dragons variety of western rpg.
Sorry, Im more familiar...
Ah wine...
Is it worth it. Well, its free. If it runs the program you want/need, then yes its worth it.
Whats the downside? Well, its twofold.
1) Wine runs windows programs, which means...
WoW runs just fine on an older computer through wine, dont forget, when it came out, it was not a demanding game, plus its pretty old at this point....some games run just as well under wine as...
it looks like you want commercial games.

Oh, and I know its not combat, but is the flight sim hack still present in google earth? that was a pretty neat feature. (sorry, I cant remember how to enable it).
Hmmm, if I remember correctly, the old star wars space combat games are dos based... that would mean that they "should" run under dosbox. If thats the case, you "might" have more luck playing them...
well, since you ask...

little big planet was fun, but its kind of short. So far the user generated levels are hit or miss, but since the game is still sort of new, there are not a ton of them.
Gran turismo is really...
right now its guild wars. I also have diablo2, quake wars, frets on fired, and NWN installed. About half of my gaming is devoted to guild wars at the moment. The rest is on my psp...gran turismo...
honestly, I just want to play games in linux, so if they have a platinum rating in wine, then I'm happy with that (I would prefer native, but as long as they run flawlessly, then I really dont...
guild wars and world of warcraft are both platinum rated on wine (they run flawlessly). Dungeons and dragons online also runs well in wine, I think it takes a performance hit though, and you need to...
