Richard-BKK Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 My favorite game is probably a joke to most of you, but I'm not that much into gaming (lately) The game is called PowerManga, at first it looks really childish but when you play it a bit it gets really addictive ....

Tywais Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 A game you may not be happy with me recommending because you may never have access to your computer again. Every Thai I've introduced this game to quickly becomes addicted to it to the point of obsession. MahJong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_boo Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Get her started on Frozen Bubble. If she's anything like my wife she won't get enough of it. Plus you can replace the balls with pictures, so say for instance you could put Thaskin's face in for the black balls...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richb2004v2 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I recently installed FreeCiv on my little ASUS machine. I'm not sure if its a screen size issue but after 30 minutes trying I couldn't get it going. Is anyone else playing this game or have any experience playing it?

BugJackBaron Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Arachnoid(a debian package) and other SDL games she may enjoy. As an added bonus this is actually a game that does not work well on windows at all(unless you download and patch a lot of DDLs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richb2004v2 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I've downloaded and been playing 'Urban Terror'. This is my first time playing online and I think its great. Previously I had considered buying and playing one of the 'Call of Duty' games but I no longer see the need. It's amazing that such games are totally free. I also downloaded 'Warzone 2100' which is also great and exactly what I was looking for. Another successful open software story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thanh-BKK Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Hi A simple native Linux game that is totally addictive: Tux Racer! It's in Ubuntu's repos. Regards..... Thanh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RKASA Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 TORCS is a pretty good sim race game, To really get into it you need to learn how to adjust the xml files, and thats a bit heavy for most. I find in linux that I am using open arena and nexiuz a lot while waiting for downloads. Lots of action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The screen jumps around as I try to click on buttons making it unplayable or controllable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
