Linux games!

[TnT]

Besides emulated games or ones used through WINE, what games do you guys play on Linux?

Here are my favorites:
Trackballs - ball-puzzle game

http://trackballs.sourceforge.net

Battle for Wesnoth - fantasy, turn-based fighting

http://www.wesnoth.org

Glaxium - 3D shooting game (ala Rapter/1942/other flying games)

http://xhosxe.free.fr/glaxium/

Some games that look promising but I haven't tried yet:
Freedroid RPG - fight those MS-bots!

http://freedroid.sourceforge.net

Scorched 3D - 3D remake of the classic DOS game

Scorched3D doesn't like my parhelia It starts up just fine, but as soon as I try to start the game, it gives me this error;

leech@skint:~$ scorched3d
Display : ERROR: Failed to set video mode.
Error Message: Couldn't load GL function: glBegin

----------------------------
Requested Display Mode:-
Driver:x11
Resolution: windowed:800x600x32 (depth = 24)
DoubleBuffer=On
ColorComponentSize=5

Scorched 3D Display : ERROR: Failed to set the display mode.
Ensure that no other application is exclusively using the graphics hardware.
Ensure that the current desktop mode has at least 24 bits colour depth.


Any ideas? Other than that, I like Tuxracer, Crossfire, Gnome-nethack, Majesty, Mahjong, Solitaire, Minesweeper... Oh yeah, the time wasters. I know there are a few others I play, I just can't think of them. Oh yeah, the biggest would be Neverwinter Nights. But I haven't played that in a while.

Hmm... Just tried it and I get this:

Display : ERROR: Failed to set video mode.
Error Message: Couldn't find matching GLX visual
----------------------------
Requested Display Mode:-
Driver=x11
Resolution=640x480x0 (windowed)

DoubleBuffer=On

Though I have a G200.

Well at least that verifies that it's not a Parhelia only issue. I'll try emailing the authors and see if it's really only programmed for nVidia or ATI or what...

It's not a matrox only issue either. There is the same problem with nvidia drivers as well.... Though I installed from the deb packages from their site, so maybe just compiling it myself might work..... Anyone want to give it a go?

I'm using Gentoo, so it was compiled on my computer. Too bad, I was really looking forward to playing it. Don't have time to figure it out, so I'll just wait.
