Remember the good old pre-Windows days hacking chaps up in Wolfenstein. Then Doom. Then Quake. The games effectively came with their own OS and ran underneath it. And, unless I'm mistaken, that's the way things are today except now you have to play in Windows. Now you have an OS inside an OS. The insanity of it. Necessitating an entire CD's worth of data.> Both Quake (II i think) and doom are available for Linux... I don't have the URL's try ID's site... and I think they both use X windows to run on...
