Major games on Linux

[afroguy013]

well, since nobody's really answered the question bout cedega:

It works alright with some games, and not alright with others. It really depends on the game.

Of what i've tried, these work very well:
Homeworld Cataclysm
Half Life
Diablo 2

These work OK (sometimes):
Dungeon Siege
Diablo

These don't:
Homeworld GOTY (The Non GOTY is reported to work, but I can't seem to get my version to work...)
Any Mechwarior game.


For a pretty reliable list go to Transgaming.org, then find the thread "Unofficial Transgaming Wiki" (something like that) in the Cedega General Forum. It's got a good listing of games that do and don't work, and is IMHO better than the official TG list.

Half Life kicks ASS in cedega.

Half life 2 I have yet to spend $50 on to find out. Some say it kicks ass, blowin windows out of the water, some say it's on par with windows, and others can't even get it installed...

They all agree- don't bother if you have an ATI card tho. NVidia is the way to go if you're even thinking about playing windows games in linux.

If you want: go to www.tuxgames.com

this site has pretty much every native linux game out there, sadly most still cost the same amount as they did when they were released, even if they're over 5 years old...


Hope All that helps

It works alright with some games, and not alright with others. It really depends on the game.

I would argue that it also depends on the individual's computer, because I've had some systems that simply refuse to play *any* games with Cedega, regardless of what rating they have. Other systems seem to be able to play any game known to man. What game is certainly a factor, but not the only one.

It was ID who announced they would release Doom 3 for Linux
