Top 10 Games on Linux -sudo update
Here are some cool games I like to play on my
Ubuntu 10.10 – I think they run on most other versions of
Linux as well. 1)
Open Arena–
First person Shooter– This is like Quake Arena- very very nice graphics and good for playing for a couple of hours while taking a break. It is available here- http://openarena.ws/smfnews.php
ideally if you have a bunch of gaming friends, playing on a
local network or internet is quite mind blowing entertaining. And it’s free! 2)
Armagetron– This is based on the
TRON game of light cycles-It is available here at http://www.armagetronad.net/ or you can use
Synaptic packages manager for all the games mentioned here
3) Sudoko–
If violence or cars is not your stuff and you like puzzles like Sudoko, well just install the application Sudoko from http://gnome-sudoku.sourceforge.net/ Also recommended for people of various
ages as it has multiple levels.
4) Pinball
If you ever liked Pinball play the open source version from download at http://pinball.sourceforge.net/ Alternatively you can go to
Ubuntu Software Centre>Games>Arcade>Emilio>Pinball and you can also build your own pinball if you like the game well enough.
5) Pacman/Njam- Clone of the original classic game. Downloadable from http://www.linuxcompatible.org/news/story/pacman_for_linux.html
6)
