Ant was fastest on the mouse to report that Id Software has a single-player demo and a set of linux binaries available for Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Blue's News has some more information and a mirror.

  1. For what it's worth, I'm a Linux gamer by DG · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I live in a Windows-free world, so I guess I'm a Linux gamer.

    The downside is that there's not much in the way of games. The upside is that those that are there are pretty good.

    My "game machine" is a P1-233 with a PCI GF-MX200 in it. Plays Q3 just fine. And I've been making my way through the Loki ouvre and having a ball with it.

    I'm almost finished SOF, and then there's Descent 3 waiting in the wings.

    Am I typical of the bleeding-edge, overclocked, 3000 FPS gamer that Windows seems to attract? Hell no. But I AM using Linux as my gaming OS, and I AM having fun with it, and I'm using a machine that's over 5 years old.

    Which is pretty cool, as far as I'm concerned.
