TIP
TransGaming Technologies has an engine, Cedega, that converts Direct3D games to
OpenGL. This enables Linux users to play as many as 300 Windows and online
games, including multiplayer role-playing games such as Everquest and Star Wars
Galaxies. View the supported games database, with some player ratings, at
http://transgaming.org/gamesdb/.
You must subscribe to TransGaming??™s service, at $5 per month, to get Cedega.
Depending on what you play and how often you play it, this might be worth it. See
http://www.transgaming.com/ for more information.
Crossover Linux also supports several popular Windows games, most notably World of
Warcraft. See Chapter 11, ???Going Cross- Platform,??? for more information.
Many dedicated fans have worked on open-source clones of some classic games, like
PacMan, Tetris, and SimCity (called LinCity). And it wouldn??™t really be a computer
without a solitaire game, would it (see Figure 10.14)?
