Linux Games

[Warren Togami]

I've only tried Loki's "Civilization: Call to Power" and Quake III Arena.
CivCTP for Linux seems to be faster and more stable than the Windows
version... mainly becaus Activision did a very poor job in making their
game.  Quake III Arena in Linux is the exact same thing, except I think I
saw benchmark comparisons a year ago showing slightly slower (around 95%)
framerate in Linux.  I doubt those numbers are representative of the drivers
available now.

I'm buying two copies of "Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri".  If we can get 8 more
orders we can use that 50% LUG price.  This game is awesome... designed by
the original creator of the "Civilization" games.
