Re: Linux 'n games

[Thomas <j a d e gmx net>]

hi, i really used to be a gamer, and to be honest, i wasted a lot of 
time getting games for linux and get games to work with winex. My 
personal experience is, that it takes a lot more time to get a game work 
with linux. There is just a small number of native linux games and an 
even smaller number of good native linux games that can compare to 
modern games that were written for platforms like MS. In my opinion, 
WineX just works for a short number of quite old games. All in all the 
number working games to choose from is incredibly low, compared to other 
platforms. And the number of games with good sound and graphic is even a 
whole lot lower. I tend to say you can count them on one hand.

My personal conclusion: Playing with the linux operating system can be a 
lot of fun, but having fun playing games just to play the game (not to 
worry about where to get it from and how to get it working) is very 
limited.
