In response to our request for users' thoughts on their favorite Linux games, we received, as anticipated, a flood of emails. Hundreds of games were recommended for inclusion in this compilation, with a few people eulogizing at great length why a particular title could not be omitted. To say that strong emotions were stirred by our previous '42 of the Best Linux Games' feature is an understatement!

After careful deliberation, we have whittled down the recommendations to a list of 42 more highly compelling Linux games, trying not to focus unduly on any one particular type of computer game genre. Hopefully, there should be something of interest here for all types of gamers! All of these games are great fun to play.

This series is great, I've been wanting something besides Frozen Bubble to play :)
TC, there IS nothing besides Frozen Bubble. Frozen Bubble IS everything.

At least it feels that way when I play it. :)
Well yeah, but a bit of cross-training is beneficial. It will make me an even better Frozen Bubble player.

:)
/me peers in and goes back to furyband lol
I like to bring the Frozen Bubble up just to listen to the background music...

does that make me weird?
84 games and still no mention of my game :-(
Scott, yes. However that was knowledge available without knowing that tidbit.

*grin*
Does the music make you feel safe, secure and happy? If so, then you're normal. But if not, then you are weird. :)
It mentions Nethack, so I'm ok.

The referral to Runescape was nice, my daughter likes playing that very much.
Quoting:Does the music make you feel safe, secure and happy?


I don't know about all that, but I do like the drum beat. :-)

We can't take this list seriously as tuxracer aka ppracer is not in it I'm afraid.

BTW do I need to see a doctor if I don't like frozen bubble?
Which has evolved nicely into Extremetuxracer...Man I love that game. I still feel that halfway thru the game, tux should be bloody and beaten, but he's one tough penguin. I've run him into stuff that isn't even supposed to BE in the code. I think I smashed him broadside into a 1964 Studebaker once.

but some of my favorite pastimes are Briquolo and Lbreakout. there is a Windows game I used to play called Magic Ball and these are along those lines. The graphics in Magic Ball are better but these Linux offerings are pretty good. Lots of fun with a trackball to say the least.
>BTW do I need to see a doctor if I don't like frozen bubble?

The nice young men in their clean white coats are coming to take you away, ha ha!

Don't like Frozen Bubbles? What kind of coal-hearted, cat-killing, baby-taunting monster are you?

Living in the Netherlands, where you can stay on unemployment longer than many Americans can stay on jobs, and where the government has warehouses of subsidized "art" because of its desire to support artists who, in a just world, would emulate Van Gogh by failing to sell anything, there must be Frozen Bubbles police.

In the name of jusice and tolerance and the environment and the preservation of grins, a Ministry of Bubbles must be tracking down ill-humored miscreants like yourself and sentencing them to breathe deeply in Amsterdam "coffee" shops.

And you -- you, my friend, -- you must be on their list.
