[Set]

I'm a huge fan of the FPS genre, so instead of having to browse trough many general gaming topics, other FPS fans on this forum can just go into here.

Besides, I love making lists.

* = Retail game. Non free.

NATIVE FPS:

- * Return To Castle Wolfenstein - ID's second Wolfenstein game and the sequel to the game that started it all. A great FAQ on how to get this game working in Linux can be found here http://zerowing.idsoftware.com/linux/wolf/

- Enemy Territory - This is a freeware game based on the same concept as RTCW. I think this actually was a later Multiplayer add-on. You can download it here http://enemy-territory.4players.de:1041/modules.php?name=files

- * DooM 3 - ID's newest FPS. The third chapter in the DooM saga. A strong cult following this game trilogy. Very nice gfx and high BOO factor. One good FAQ on how to get this game running in Linux is to be found at this location http://zerowing.idsoftware.com/linux/doom/

- Nexuiz - Something as unique as a GPL based FPS Deathmatch game. Their homepage can be found at http://www.nexuiz.com/ also check out the topic in this forum http://forums.xandros.com/viewtopic.php?t=16011

- Americas Army - The American Army made a game to attract gamers to the Army. We non-us people got a nice multiplatform team based multiplayer shooter. Go get it here http://americasarmy.filefront.com/

- * Unreal Tournament - a multiplayer focused fps running on the popular Unreal engine. Go grab a demo or Linux installer at http://unreal.epicgames.com/TournamentVersions.htm

- * Postal 2 - A VERY controversial game. Letting you either go get your paycheck and cash it in at the bank to buy milk... Or rob the bank, steal the milk and murder your boss.... Homesite http://www.gopostal.com/

I'll keep this list updated as I run into more games. Feel free to tell me what great games I've missed

First time Xandros user here. I've been playing Unreal Tournament on Windows for four years and now I'm looking to set it up on Xandros.

Sure, you can download the linux installer here:

I might be misunderstanding.

You need to right click and download it to your harddrive and make it executable (right click, properties, permissions, execute), then double click on it.

Edit: i found another location to get it

Solar Wind,
Hi,
which is the installer?
there are two sets of links; the other for demo.
What lookl like the installer section has four links, two of which say installer one is for retail. If there is a "free" download of the game, I would need the right one, and of course the game.
I donate computers to people, some of which are kids and this game would proabably be one that teenagers would like.
thanks
woodsmoke

[SolarWind]

Hi woodsmoke,
Sounds like a good cause, keep up the good work! UT is still very popular online, no doubt the teens will love it. There's no "free" download for the full game (well, at least not legally). You'll need the cd's. I just took a look on ebay and they're literally going for just a few bucks. There are a couple of versions though.. Original, and Game of the Year (goty) edition. Which linux installer you'll download depends on the version you have.
For the original version use: ut-install-436.run
For game of the year version use: ut-install-436-goty.run

Good luck!

very fast, very playable on slower machines with opengl support.

[SledgeDG]

Here is an alternative link for Americas Army (without opening an account)
http://www.strategyinformer.com/pc/americasarmyspecialforces/full-game/2398.html

@-invalid- Do you have a link to a working package for cube or sauerbraten?
I tried o compile the sources but I didn't get it to work (if anything is different than the standard - ./configure, make, make install routine it is beyond my actual knowledge
