Quoting: n30p1r4t3I love Ubuntu, but hate mint. Cinnamon is not "modern" in my opinion, and you can't deny that Unity looks beautiful.
Well, actually I can. Not that I personally like Cinnamon that much either, but...

Personally for me I don't care what is Modern, I care about what works. Hell I may even go back to using MATE since it worked perfectly for me before it was forked into MATE.

Quoting: ZosXaosUnity is just so slow to respond, and it feels "heavy".
Unity flies on my rig. Then again it's a very powerful system.

The first Linux game I bought was Neverwinter Nights Diamond in July 2008, and I still play the Linux client; the first Linux game I played was Warzone 2100 in June 2008, and I still play it. The last Linux game I bought was Surgeon Simulator. The next Linux game I'm buying (already preordered) is Dominions 4. the latest iteration of the best turn-based strategy game I have ever played.

years ago... I played a game in which you had to compile the modem driver to make it work, that was a long an tough adventure game.

Honestly I havent tried Linux for gaming until nowbso my answer will be Frozen Synapse. A lovely turn based/action strategy game.

What's the first game you played on Linux?

I think it was Nexuiz back in 2006, didn´t like it that much though.
 
What's the first game you purchased for Linux?
 
Counter strike: Source, just when Steam got officially released for Linux. Bought more games but CS:S was the first.

Brütal legend.

Whats the next game you will purchase for Linux?
 
Probably Football manager 2014 or Prison architect, unless Portal 2 gets released with a discount.

What free Linux game are you still playing?
 
None that I can think off. I don´t mind paying for games, as long as the price isn´t too high.

One of the KDE games back in like 2007 or somewhere around there. I don't remember the game though.

Easy. Half-Life 2.

What's the last game you purchased for Linux?
I just purchased Awesomenauts on Steam.

Champions of Regnum via Steam.

I'm also still playing Half-Life 2 Episode 2.

Hmm... First Linux game would probably be Xbill (Kinda hard to remember since it would have been in 1997)

Hmm... First Linux game I bought would probably be Quake 2 retail

Last game I purchased was Humble Bundle 7. 

I play a TON of free games still. Frozen Bubble, O AD, KShisen-sho, etc.

My adventure in Linux started a little over a year ago, and I believe it was Sudoku followed by Nexiuz. I preferred the former, the Quake-style shooter is a bit before my time.
 
What's the first game you purchased for Linux?
 
Limbo on the Ubuntu software center :) Great game, I just wished I finished at the time before switching distros and had no way of playing it. Luckily, I got it back on one of the latest humble bundles.

What's the last game you purchased for Linux?

Gone Home :) Highly recommend for those who can get it on sale (it's really good, but just as short)

Whats the next game you will purchase for Linux?
 
Hopefully the new space game from Double Fine; looks great :D

What free Linux game are you still playing?
 
Uhh, TF2 on occasion.
New fabertawe 7 Nov 2013
What's the first game you played on Linux?

Probably Mines or similar, hard to remember now! One of the Gnome games when I was with Ubuntu in 2006.

What's the first game you purchased for Linux?

I think it was either Quake 4 or Prey.

What's the last game you purchased for Linux?

Just bought Don't Starve and Euro Truck Simulator in the sale and Metro. Sir, You Are Being Hunted is my most played though and will be for a long time to come.

Whats the next game you will purchase for Linux?

Very hard to say until the next sale ;) Air Conflicts is top of my wishlist but this could easily change.

What free Linux game are you still playing?

DreamChess, Bubble Chains, Spheres Of Chaos (RISC OS classic!)

What's the first game you played on Linux?


Free wise? No idea, probably something starting with X (was about 1997/8 or so), first commercial game was Civilization: Call to power (<3 Loki)
 
What's the first game you purchased for Linux?
 
Well I think it would have been Civ:CTP. Im sure I had that before Alpha Centauri. I own all the Loki games so one of those would have been first.

What's the last game you purchased for Linux?

Duke Nukem 3d, last proper game would have been... Europa Universalis 4, one of the best games ive ever played.

Whats the next game you will purchase for Linux?
 
Something I don't already own Linux wise that's in a sale, I own all the ones I actually want to play, 135 Linux games on Steam, missing at least 50 I think, Euro Trucker 2 looks good.

What free Linux game are you still playing?
 
Free? None at the moment, time is precious, and im still trying to finish strike suit zero.

Do you still have all of the packaging? I would love to see a picture of that. :)

Due to having to move house a lot, I eventually had to part with the actual packaging (for the jewel case games anyway), the DVD games were without packaging iirc.

Tbh, I'm in the process of imaging all the disks and releasing a loki games "online backup in torrent format" since theyre so bloody rare.

I'll treasure my Loki SMAC copy, some of those games have non x86 binaries on them, different times :)
New Maquis196 8 Nov 2013
Oh, I still have the jewel cases themselves, just not the carboard packaging (still kept the manuals as well mind)
New Hamish 8 Nov 2013
Still would love to see them. :)

I'll do what I can to get a shot this weekend, be good before they go into the attic for some long term storage (another reason I imaged the lot of them)

First Game I played on Linux:
That was back on Ubuntu 7.10 and I think it was Frozen Bubble

First game that I purchased:
Jets n Guns, bought directly from Linux Game Publishing. I still love the soundtrack and it is a game I still load up and play now and again.

Last game I purchased:
That would be between the Humble weekly sale that included Prision Break, Multiwinnia and Darwinnia or Project Zomboid on Desura.

Last physical game I purchased:
Krunch had the collectors edition and it arrived at the beginning of November

Next purchase:
I'm looking at purchasing Planet Explorers and also backing The Slaughter on Kickstarter

Free game that I'm still playing:
I still return to Frozen Bubble regularly as well as keeping an eye on Minetest.
