Just picked up Q3A for $10 at electronic boutique. Applied the pointrelease patch and oh baby. Never ran this well under Windblows. Especially nice graphics with GeForce2-MX. Don't worry, I'll spread the word. Curtis :) On Wednesday 06 June 2001 09:29 pm, Matthew wrote:

Hey,
A few weeks back when I first joined this list there was a thread about who plays games in Linux.
Well since then I have downloaded all of the Loki demos, installed the Windows binaries for Unreal Tourney and purchased Quake 3 Arena (from my local ebworld store for $9 bucks) and Ultimate Solitaire (hey...it was 4 bucks...).
I want to purchase Heavy Metal 2, Decent 3 and Tribes 2.
I'm looking forward to Heavy Metal Fakk 2 and have signed up for the Beta Test...which I haven't heard anything back from in about a week.
I really want to support this movement of games to the Linux platform.
I signed some of the petitions at tuxgames.com.
But what else can we do as a community?
I mean we are rather scattered...it's hard for a lot of stores to stock the games since they have no idea what the demand is going to be...and which titles sell the best.
Thanks.

Hello Brian,
Just spread the word :-). When people ask you what you can do you can tell them.
The most you can do is purchase the games and try your best not to purchase the Windows versions, even though they may come out before the Linux version.
Anyway, with Linux you can sometimes do more things when playing a game through a window for instance, your system will not slow down.
Also, when you spend a couple of hours and defeat some tough MOBS your Linux box will not freeze up on you. Unless its a bug issue with a driver, but usually these can be worked out.
