GNU/Linux Gamers

[Rakesh 'Arky' Ambati]

Morning Friends,

Perhaps you are looking forward for a relaxed weekend, warming up to the
weekend mood I pose you are rather odd question.

'What does GNU/Linux Gamers Like'?

Most of the time I get answers like 'I don't have time for game's or
'Hey, you dork people have work to do unlike you'. 

But really let look into the mind of a GNU/Linux. Do let me what you
like.

Here are some of I like to play now as am still using K6-2 455MHz I
don't have much fuel of hot games ;o). 

1) All the games on Emacs, esp those I don't need to play like zone or
Hanoi(Hanoi-UNIX. ;o))

2) Most lasted and old variants of nethack including the latest
Falcon-eye.

3) Most of the games of old bsd-games package and those old DO$ ID
games.
 
What do you like.
