There are more games available for 'bloze, no argument there.
I'm trying to keep it on the topic "Why don't more people use Linux?". It's not /just/ that there /more/ games for Windows, enough that my kids can find them in the high street and afford them with pocket money.
I fixed Q4 sound after a bit of googling, blue skies. I just don't like the game that much - ut2004 is more enjoyable IMHO.
As for bargain basement windoze games, I couldn't say. I'd be more likely to try bargain basement linux games.
You've just proved my point really. It's that from my kids' point-of-view even if they do buy Linux games, with the penguin on the box and everything, they may or may not work. Whether it's old ones like
It's not like you can't download those games from Sourceforge... which mean's you can get the most up-top-date version, and so it will work.
Quake 3 or even new ones like Quake 4. I'm not arguing with you that they can get Dad to google for the answer, write some magic to the computer's boot scripts and finally, hopefully, they'll actually be able to play. That is exactly my point! The alternative is they can afford a couple of Windows games themselves, take them home and play them right away. As it is we *don't* have any Windows machines in the house, I won't let them. the kids don't understand why not though.
That's ok. It's just like telling them that they can't have a TV in their room, or whatever..they WON'T understand... that's why they're not allowed to vote or drive.
I also agree with you about Quake 4. Our current favourite is "World of Padman" (http://www.worldofpadman.com/) based on the Quake 3 engine.
