There's a lot of games in the Feisty repositories and in the extended reps, which are worth installing?
Frozen bubble, supertux, blobwars. They're my favourties.
If you like First Person Shooters, consider Nexuiz or Warsow (Warsow is available on from : localhost/getdeb.net).
For realtime strategy games, there's globulation (glob2 in the repos).
The battle for wesnoth, freciv... I'm downloading one called Boson, never played it.
remember that there are some very good console emulators such as zsnes, fce ultra, pcsx, and gens.
so if you have any of the freely available roms from the internet you can play these for all but the most modern consoles.
(for legal reasons I should probably remind you that as I understand you should own these games in real life, or delete within 24 hours of download?)

Open Arena - good FPS.
It's still not legal even if you own an original copy. I read up on it, and im going to try that glob game now
PS. if you don't tell anyone about the roms I promise I won't.
Hey i just tried to install Glob2 and got this message
glob2: Depends: glob2-data (=0.8.21-4build1) but 0.8.23-0~getdeb1 is to be installed
Any idea what this is/how to fix it?
PS. If I should move this just let me know, you can probably tell I'm new here.
Thanks either way, Odracir123.
Never mind, I had installed the data file first, so I tried removing it and it worked. Ill leave this here if it's OK, so other newbs might see it. If it's not OK, just let me know and I'll remove it Originally Posted by odracir123Hey i just tried to install Glob2 and got this message

Sticking to stuff that hasn't been posted yet:
Chromium - this game has more depth than I would've ever expected out of a scrolling space shooter; hard as hell, which makes it all the more rewarding when you start getting good at it.
Briquolo - the best Breakout clone, hands-down. Some unique power-ups and exceptional graphics.
Others worth checking out: Ltris, KoboDeluxe, SolarWolf, Neverball/Neverputt, Crack Attack, Wormux... Honestly, I'd just recommend going down the list in Synaptic, checking off what sounds interesting and installing it. Then go back and uncheck whatever you don't like. One of my favorite things about Linux is how easy it is to un/install stuff - pretty much takes any hesitation out of checking out software I'm curious about.
As far as what has been mentioned, Nexuiz is way up there. If you want to try it out, I'd recommend getting the version from GetDeb.net, as it gave some noticeable performance improvements on my system. |
