    This is absolutley my favorite linux friendly game. It single handedly frustrated me to the point of never wanting to boot into Windoze again.

    Of course you have to fill out the Making Lists Form. Of course, first you have to fill out the Form Request Form in order to request the Making Lists Form. Don't even bother to ask how you get a Form Request Form without first filling out a Form Request Form requesting a Form Request Form...

    Here is my list. Order is based on hours wasted.

    • Maelstrom
    • Tribes 2
    • fortune
    • ..


    .... but wait, I guess it is only tribes 2 because that is the only game that came out in 2001. Oh well. :)

  14. Best games for Linux? Why Zork, of course... by 3dfxorcist · · Score: 2, Funny

    Zork ROCKS! It's easy enough to get started, but it's really challenging and fun. I think it's one of the most fun multiplayer games out for ANY platform. The graphics require a little imagination, though...

  15. My favorite game is... by Psiolent · · Score: 2, Funny

    Definitely not Global Thermonuclear War. It's really a lose-lose game. In fact, I'd say the only way to win is not to play at all.
