[wplug] old PC games? semi-OT

[O'Connor, Michael P.]

Why not any computers waste of time??  (Of course my current time killer
has been said to run on Linux, but I have not tried it yet)

But, I would like to pose the following question to the group, why don't
we see many Linux ports of games (remember Loki?)  Is it that the system
is just not a game system, the culture of Linux not much of a gaming
culture, do the users of Linux see counsels as a better way?  Or is it
(what some think is the main thing) there are just too few of us?

So some of free games I liked:
windows:
Icy Towers - http://www.freelunchdesign.com/games.php
Trancendence - http://www.neurohack.com/transcendence/

Linux:
Trojka - Falling blocks game similar to xjewels or t*tris for curses
which I had originally got in a debian distribution and now can't find.

cross platform:
Open transport tycoon: I loved the original,just found this today so I
haven't played it yet. http://www.openttd.org/downloads.php

What is your favorite Open source time killer? Either open source
program, or program that runs on open source platform?
