I Need some linux games that doesn't require wine

[asadujjaman]

Can anybody tell me about some games that runs natively on linux?

I prefer race and fighter games like NFS, Mortal Kombat etc. And first person shooter games.

I can't help you with racing or fighting games, but with First Person Shooters, you're in luck. Here's some off the top of my head that work natively in Linux:

Doom 1, 2, 3
Heretic
Hexen 1, 2 (hard to find)
Quake 1, 2, 3, 4
Unreal Tournament GOTY, 2003, 2004
Cube
Nexuiz
Enemy Territory
Return to Castle Wolfenstein

For the games made by id Software, you need the MS Windows retail CD/DVD, and a Linux installer found here. For UT2003/2004 the Linux installer is already on the disc. Cube, Nexuiz and Enemy Territory are free games downloadable from their respective websites.

Thanks. Far more than what I could imagine!

One more thing - I have visited americasarmy.com but they no doesn't seem to support linux anymore. Every available download I see there is for windows. Can I have a link to any download for the linux version?

visit AA:SF (Direct Action) v2.5 Linux Full Install, America's Army Downloads, America's Army Full Install for downloading linux version of the game

I might have missed it, if it was mentioned but Unreal Tournement runs on Linux... I think there was actually a version for Linux.

Also, I saw that Cube was mentioned and that is one I have recently become addicted to. It's a First Person Shooter much like Unreal Tourney. There are dedicated servers online all the time which you can connect to from within the game.

You can also have a look at linux gamers live-cd.

Valemon, that's great! I've been looking for some turn based strategy games I can play in Linux... Wesnoth looks good.

Wesnoth is a lot of fun, but completing some of the campaigns is rock hard. It can only get better though, and is well supported.

One of my favourite cult games is Beneath a Steel Sky. It needs an emulator to run on Linux but it always makes me smile. The best version includes sound.

Me too! I loved that game... One day, I did a search in the packages for "games" and the name caught my attention. When I read the description I had to play it. I beat it, it was very satisfying. I love old style games like that... I grew up playing Police Quest... the first one. I still play it now and then. I wish there were more games out there like that.
