Posted by Cliff on from the tis-the-season-form-making-lists dept.

Apostata asks: "As more and more people migrate (or consider migrating) to Linux, I'd like to know what Slashdot readers would vote for as their top picks for Linux-friendly games (either native or commercially ported) for 2001."

  1. Creatures Linux by StarTux · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Has finally arrived, and will begin shipping to destinations just after xmas.

    Get to play with digital DNA and see evolution at work all on your Linux box.

    check ds.creatures.net and also of course www.tuxgames.com

    There is no best one as each Linux game brings soemthing new to Linux, perhaps if enough of these games sell we might see more of each catagory or the same.

    If you like Nethack, check out Falcon's Eye. It's an SDL-based fork of Nethack with an isometric view. The graphics are quite nice and it even has a soundtrack.

    I've wasted a *lot* of time with it.

    I must agree. The multiplayer RtCW is quite fast and stable on linux, whereas on WinXP on the same machine (athlon 1.4ghz, ddr, geforce 3), it is glitchy and sometimes slows down for no reason.
