Gaming in linux

[Yad]

I am starting this new thread for linu gaming.
we can post all the games that are available in linux and the way to configure them. I hope this will make even non technical persons join the linux brigade.
Starting with id quake 2 , quake 3 and doom3 are available for linux and id software's website lists complete help. just chose game , click download and chose linux.

If u wanna start a thread like this, then post some impressive screenshots first, give some info about the game and then post the source. Such threads aren't started like this where u tell like "a-b-c-d games r available n u can download em"!

See how to post such things!

Its better to append ur entries in this thread => Linux: Making life easy......which is already a sticky!

It was just an introductory post and just an example of what is available.

Can we play some old games in Linux like Max Payne 2 or GTA Myth?
And how about some other old games too?

See desertwind's reply. You can use wine + winetools. Or if you want something better, there's cedega but that is paid.

[Yad]

Yes you can run most of the windows games in linux.
you just need wine which is free and latest sound and graphics drivers.
you need not pay money to winex or cedga.
