For me, it's Factorio.

a game in which you build and maintain factories.

It even has Wayland support!

Graphics

  • Added support for Wayland on Linux. To enable it, set SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland in your environment. (thanks to raiguard)

What's yours?

EDIT: Great Linux ports* not like some forced ports that barely work or don't.

Doom, of course!

Also, OpenRCT2, and Unreal Tournament.

Doom

Which one because I don't think this Doom you meant?

OpenRCT2

I tried it to work on Linux but no luck so far. :c

and Unreal Tournament

I see 2nd mention of this game. Could you link it with the Linux native port?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Nope, I meant this Doom, whose original source code is here on GitHub.

I'm surprised you've not got OpenRCT2 to work - I'm fairly sure it's in most default repos.

You do need to have a full copy of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 as it uses data / assets from the original game.

I would happily link you to Unreal Tournament, but it's no longer for sale anywhere as far as I'm aware.

Ah, the classic one.

Yeah, I will try again soon. I don't know anything about this game, besides I bought it when discounted and it has RollerCoasters.

Ah... what a shame.

The original CDs of UT 99 had the linux Binaries on them, but (as mentioned in the UT2004 comment) Atari Castrated the Steam version.

Use https://flathub.org/apps/com.epicgames.ut99 to play UT 99

I see.

Unreal Tournament Launcher by Epic Games

Seems funny to me that's on the Flathub due to this.
