Gaming in linux is a very hard thing ,due to the fact that most of the games are made for only windows ,can someone give me links to cross platform games that can be played online ,did someone played heroes 3 under linux ,cedega online?

Try Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory at www.enemy-territory.com and WarSow at www.WarSoW.net , two great games and both are free and linux compatible!

realy nice ill try to install on slackware10.2
10x Sainted

DjDarkman try emulating games with "wine" or something else...
use google
and what is your distro

Yeah I know ,emulating with wine is sometime sucsesfull ,but sometimes not ,but in most cases it doesn`t give back the feeling of the game ,because it can`t emulate flawlessly everything.Neighter does cedega emulate all correctly ,for example I`m a heroes 3 fan ,but sadly I can only play multiplayer games trough network ,if I`m in windows.

I searched with google ,and I was happy to find out that there are a lot of linux and cross platform games.

Yes your right, im also fan of heroes it will be realy nice if i can run it on my slack...
yes there is games for linux and i beliеve there will be more and more, i hope soo..
linux is the future

If you find some interesting links for games on linux post here ill be thankful

CS runs on linux ,you can play it with cedega ,but i think it`s possible to emulate it with wine too.

I tried this but it ran really slow / poor

Did you try it with wine or with cedega?
When I said wine ,I meant a wine configured to run with OpenGL.

I did that and works quite well. Better than under windows. It has better graphics to.But I think you will need cedega to run cs 1.6 .
I didn't succed in getting source to run with cedega.Did anyone ?

cedega deffinetly .. wine just doesn`t meet my demands.. p.s cedega isn`t free but it`s worth the financial effort !

I think you can get cedega for 5$ ,it realy isn`t much if you ask me ,those boys out there are realy working hard to make cedega work.Don`t forget that cedega is based on wine ,the difference is the better 3D support ,but as I said ,I saw a tutorial ,that explains ,how to make wine work with OpenGL ,never tried it though.

Ok here are the games that i promess to DjDarkman

[link removed] <=- Doom 3
[link removed] <=- Heroes 3
[link removed] <=- Quake 3

I can upload some other games if you wont, like:
Heretic II

Heavy Metal FAKK2
