Games_not_in_Portage

Introduction

In order to play under Linux, you can:

• play with a native game, idem est a game that has been written for Linux (Quake 3...).
• Use Loki, which provides installers for several games
• Use Wine, which allows to run Windows applications under Linux
• Use Cedega, which is a "fork" of Wine but game-oriented. Its packaged version is not free of charge unlike its CVS version
• Use Java Webstart (embedded in Java 1.6) to install cross-platform games very easily
• Use your web browser to launch web-games (applets using Java, Flash, Actionscript ...)
