[Lincoln LUG] Who has been gaming on Linux?

[Jon Gibbins.com]

As I've bought so many games over the years that I've not anywhere near
completed I've started playing most of them again from scratch. In the past
I used to hammer away at Unreal Tournament on my Linux box because it
actually ran faster on Linux (that old cliché!) but recently I've started
going through a lot of my old Steam games on Linux too. I'm currently
battling my way through Half-Life and although it's an old old game it's
aged beautifully with the progress of new and better hardware and
up-to-date support from Valve.
I can't wait to get stuck in to Half-Life 2!
