The incredible Ryan Gordon aka icculus did the porting. It's nice to see more Linux games being shipped - I'm definitely buying this one."

    Seriously though, how many people will still play this game with you? It's based on old technology and even though it may still be fun single-player, the multi-player market is dead. Thus you will only get half the intended fun out of it.

    Don't shoot me down, I'm in the same boat really. I have 2 copies of Quake 3 (I bought the windows version, and later bought the Linux collectors edition anyway just to support them... even though I did not even need to)

    As for NWN... I just bought my second copy for OS X (I would prefer playing it on OS X), but all my friends have moved onto other games already, so it's a bit lonely now... :(

    It's a different matter if the games get released even just a week after the windows version... I would buy the Linux and OS X versions out of principle.

    But 6 months!!! You MUST be kidding... it's not worth-while. (Advice I should follow too...) ;)
