Linux Game Database

[ubuntu-freak]

Linux Game Database (lgdb.org) is a site which lists native Linux games and more. The site gives full game descriptions and specifications, has screenshots of each game, and allows you to search for games, rate, and comment on them.

Edit: Thanks for posting the other Linux gaming sites, I'll post the links below to make it easier for everyone.

I'm bumping this thread. There's bound to be more than 3 people around here that will find the site useful.

Just wondering how this site is different than The Linux Game Tome on http://happypenguin.org/? Thanks for the link btw.

[Daveski]

I love the fact that there are videos. Great looking site.

I wish there were some 'Boring' games eg scrabble type games, and other word games. there doesn't seem to be any in linux

I guess they're the same kinda thing. The one you mentioned has actually been going since the mid-90s, whereas Linux Game Database is new and still beta, perhaps the reason why not all the videos work.

I did a search and there seems to be:

PyScrabble (http://pyscrabble.sourceforge.net/)
ProScrabble (http://logical-games.mcctm.com/scrabble_news.html)


I should think the standard GnomeGames (http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGames/) where boring enough?

[lyni]

thank you Graabein, I'll check them out.

[Masoris]

This site is very nice. I wrote some review on the site. :)

Okay, I've added the additional gaming links posted in this thread to my original post, along with some more you may find useful.

[blakjesus]

Pretty nice sight you got there, it went right into my bookmarks. I was able to find a couple of games that were pretty good.

[graabein]

And you've got planet.freegamedev.net (http://planet.freegamedev.net/) if you want to read some “random chitchat from a free game development community.”
