Re: [newbie] Games in this Linux distribution
Don't know if you're interested as it is a little bit of a dodgy subject at the moment ;-), but UltraHLE - that infamous N64 emulator works flawlessly under Wine (well for me anyway). I was absolutely gobsmacked when i saw it working!! I will say tho, it took some installing - you MUST have a Glide compatible card (3Dfx recommended), plus a pretty wazzy spec machine - i run a V3 in a PIII 128Mb ram machine. But for your pains you get stuff like Zelda - Ocarina of time running FASTER and SMOOTHER than under Windows !!

(www.quakearena.com)...it is only availible for down load right now..I mean you can't get it on cd...and it is big..and it does require a GL 3d accelerator...and it don't crash like the windows version! As for emulation, I dunno if wine or such like will be able to handel DOS games like quake and duke nukem.? anyway places you should go: http://www.linuxgames.com/ http://happypenguin.org/ http://www.planetquake.com/linux/ have fun Al.
[newbie] Games in this Linux distribution
Other than the demo QuakeII that comes with the boxed version of Linux, is it possible to play very many games on this OS? If not, then would using a virtual machine software like wmware enable a Mandrake Linux user to play MS-Windows based games? Richard
Re: [newbie] Games in this Linux distribution
How about games that don't require Direct X, like the Quake games, etc.?

RE: [newbie] Games in this Linux distribution
hey, that snake game that installs with KDE kina rulez. Since we have it, why would we need Quake! :) hehe I believe the Quake3 Test runs on Linux now right? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Richard Salts Sent: Sunday, July 04, 1999 9:14 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] Games in this Linux distribution Other than the demo QuakeII that comes with the boxed version of Linux, is it possible to play very many games on this OS?
