Of course, Debian includes Super Nintendo emulators, so if you can "acquire" ROMs, you can play the real Metroid.

It reminds me of Metroid. bzflag is a great little 3d multiplayer drive-tanks-around-and-blow-each-other-up game. dopewars is fairly fun too, with a couple of different clients. freeciv sure ain't as pretty as Alpha Centauri or Civ3 but it's a damn fun way to waste time (especially on the multiplayer servers).

So long as you're not looking for Final Fantasy, there's plenty of packaged and playable games. pingus. My favorite for sentimental reasons. It's a clone of Lemmings, my favorite DOS game (or for that matter, favorite game to run on any MS platform). The goal is to get as many penguins to dig, bomb, bridge, etc, their way out of a level. amphetamine. Not crack, but a (3rd person) game where you run, jump past obstacles, or exterminate them. As in pingus, there's a bit of puzzle solving involved, as you try to figure figure out the physics of each level, such as the precise key combination to jump to a ledge and not fall off, or the location of the controls to open a gate or trigger an elevator. burgerspace. A soundless AFAICT arcade type game where you complete the layers of a hamburger sandwich while dodging onions and other lethal veggies. circuslinux. A noisy but otherwise brainless bounce and pop game. To paraphrase the package description, you bounce a clown into the air to pop balloons overhead. flightgear. A flight simulator game I once tried on my graphics-handicapped Pentium II. To astoundingly glacial results. bsdgames. Be amazed by such classic games as hangman, boggle, backgammon and snake, most of them powered by little more than state of the art ascii graphics. And your choice or variant of tetris, mahjohng or solitaire. The Windows game I miss most is the game that came bundled (yes, that evil word) in the '95 (?) installation CD.

You can look at ID's games. I heard a rumar that they program their games on linux/unix systems. I do know for a fact that you should quite easily get linux binaries for quake 2/3 and Return to Castle Wolfenstein. You should still have the bought copy of these programs since no maps etc is included, just the parts that is different between OS's. I have heard about a couple of people also playing StarCraft on linux via Wine(freeware Windoz emulator) and also Halflife-Counterstrike(still got some bugs). In the deb package I saw FreeCraft a couple of months back. It is 'n Warcraft 2 clone, with possibilities to import WarCraft II maps and characters(textures), making it look just like Warcraft. The std graphics can be done a bit better, but if only I was so artstic... Small games to get time buy is plentyfull as was said later in this thread. There is also doom(I/II) and heretic clones in the deb package. Same situation as with Quake and RTCW, you still need maps. Have fun, but not at cost of your work.

It's lightweight when compared to other GUI clients, particularly on Windows. My wife has a 1.8GHz machine with 256MB dual-booting Debian and Windows 98, and winamp will slow that machine to a crawl, while xmms hardly registers (I've had OpenOffice, the GIMP, Evolution, and multiple Mozilla windows all open simultaneous to running XMMS on that machine, while under windows if I try to open more than one or two programs beyond winamp, it'll die). Also, note that I mentioned I've had problems with CLI music programs -- wierd skips that occur when new processes start, etc. This is simply *my* experience. If I could find a viable CLI alternative, I'd jump on it! (I use screen a lot, and really have my window manager up primarily for a web browser and the occasional GIMP session). Don't bother pointing one out on this thread, however -- I've tried just about all of the ones available in Debian. > For me this is not a concern, but for someone with, say, 128MB of RAM, if they > are running a desktop environment, an email client, and a few mozilla > windows, 28MB of RAM is suddenly a scarce resource. Interestinly, my primary machine is a Celeron 366MHz that until recently had only 96MB -- XMMS hasn't been a problem on this machine. Of course, I'm running blackbox, gkrellm, ROX-Filer, screen, and Phoenix, so my resource usage is pretty mimimal :-) -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I wouldn't exactly call it lightweight... I have both xmms and cplay open right now, and gtop shows xmms at 28MB, and mpg123 (via cplay) at less than 3MB...

I highly agree here -- if you are looking at having a similar look and feel across your client desktops, you need to determine how you're going to deliver that. Desktop environments provide an easy way to do so, but they are consistently more resource intensive than running a window manager and installing libraries for the programs you run. So, determine your needs, and research from there. > > Essentially what packages should we look to add to our Debian > > desktops. > > Example: > >:multimedia(music, movies, photo editing) > Assuming you don't want to manipulate music/movies, following packages may > be worth a look: > - music: > +mpg321 -- plays mp3-files, console-based > +ogg123 (vorbis-tools) -- plays ogg-vorbis-files, console-based > +cplay -- provides easy-to-use interface to other programs like > mpg321/ogg123, console based > +xmms -- a winamp lookalike > +noatun -- kde's mediaplayer > +rythmbox -- a media-player for gnome (well, i don't know it, but a quick > apt-cache search returned it) > Personally I prefer the console-based applications, but who cares;-) I've had problems running console-based music programs -- starting new programs and processes tends to interrupt music output, which I find annoying.
