In an effort to maximise my time wasting (and learn some more about Ubuntu along the way) I am attempting to install some games but I have had some difficulties along the way.
1) After downloading RPM packages for games such as xu4 and Lost Labyrinth I go through the Ubuntu guide instructions for converting them to .deb packages and proceed to install them. I am then left with some folders that have documentation but no game/executable files that I can locate. Am I missing a step in the installation?
2) Falcon's Eye, when installed through Synaptics, seems to work fine. I start with some character creation menus, but when the dungeoneering is set to begin it crashes and leaves me with a blank window that cannot be closed short of rebooting.
3) I stumbled through the How To guide to install FreedroidRPG. Though successful, the game is incredibly choppy, slow, and unresponsive. I have my doubts this has to do with a lack of system resouces, but you never know (PIII 1.1 MH, 512 RAM, 16 meg video card.)
4) The Orcs in Wesnoth are very good at slaying my armies and demoralizing their leader. I do not think I will ever make a good field general in a militaristic fantasy world.
