LinuxPR is reporting that Loki is working with 3DO to develop a version of Heroes of Might and Magic: III. The game should be available in December. What does this bring the tally up to now?

My benchmark for the day when Linux is regarded as having won the OS war against Microsoft is when a majority of major games are produced for Linux first.
As well as better games, we need up to date games. Unfortunately in the majority of cases we're still getting 'hand me downs' from Windows. i.e. games which Windows first ran 2-3 years ago.
On the bright side, the situation does seem to be improving rapidly; a few years ago most games producers [ID perhaps excepted] wouldn't even have considered producing a Linux/Unix version.
Linux really needs a 'killer app' game - something which is new, different and everyone wants to play.
