Doom 3 for Linux Released

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the come-get-some dept.

edawg writes Linuxgames reports that "the Linux edition of Doom 3 has been released by ID Software. Although it didn't ship with a Linux version on the install CD, its still nice to see they release Linux binaries around the same time as their first game patch. Here is Information directly from ID Software."

    DUP and the really bad thing is that they are posted right after each other as seen here.

    Who cares about Doom?! I've been playing Duke Nukem Forever here on GNU Hurd for months!

  5. It worked fine by tod_miller · · Score: 4, Funny

    until all hell broke loose, then I hit alt-ctrl-~, did a ps -aux and hit kill -9 on everything I could find.

    I think I must have been out of ammo or something, because it kept giving me stick about command not find.

    I tried apt-get and still nothing.

    No seriously, everything works fine, except all the PDAs on the base don't work right, because I guess linux on the PDA is a bit immature for the martian market :-)

    I still remember the good days when we didn't have computer games, and thus no violence at all.
