Re: [ubuntu-uk] Games with a Christmas theme
What about an Ubuntu UK Xmas geekathon, presuming it is the Swindon site? Silly hats with bells or antlers, with musical socks and ties, would be de rigure of course! Certainly beat trying to elbow your way through to your favourite computer shop on a Xmas shopping day.

[ubuntu-uk] Games with a Christmas theme
We're planning a gamers day for Christmas at the Museum of Computing - we have quite a few games with a Christmas theme lined up for consoles, handhelds and Windows. I thought it would be an opportunity to show off Ubuntu both to our visitors and to my fellow volunteers. Can anyone recommend any Linux games with a Christmas theme?

Enemy Territory with the North Pole map :) It's just about as Christmasy as you are going to get (albeit with guns and violence built in). It's a multi player first person shooter game. You could run a server internally on your LAN quite easily with only the North Pole map. It's not Free but it is free to download.

Supertux is a mario type platform game with a snowy theme. Tuxtype is a typing tutor type game also with a snowy theme and yet another snow themed game is frozen bubble. There are also games called snowballz (which I havent tried) and Icebreaker (which is quite basic). One other thing to install is xsnow. It's not a game but displays snowflakes and santa on your background.
