X-moto has been a favorite since I discovered it!

When did you discover it, MrCorey? I found it in the Debian repository while browsing Synaptic for games.

That's pretty much how I find games as well. That's the one thing that I've always liked about RPMDrake - the ability to easily "shop" in the "candy store". The categorization and the description pane was always an invaluable method of perusing for new packages and their usefulness. Everything else about it was a disappointment.

Synaptic is a lot like RPMDrake, int hat you can simply browse for fun software to try. Its a lot faster at it, though.

I think that I discovered X-Moto about a year ago in the PCLinuxOS repository, via Synaptic. I've installed it on Ubuntu as well (and I had it on my Debian Etch install too). There's another made by the same author called Bloboats that has a similar premis but its even more difficult. I like the action in X-Moto, though. It sometimes reminds me of an off-road race game and sometimes, it reminds me of that Flash animation game where George Bush is falling down onto a series of bubbles, in which you can "yank" him around with your mouse to see how he's going to fall around the upcoming bubbles.

There are some really nice games out there for Linux and the nice thing is that you don't need to filter out the naggy stuff with a service like Nonags.com (the place I get/got all of my Windows Freeware).

Jeez! That turned out to be a post!

Yes, it was good long comment. I agree with most of what you say there. Windows Freeware/Shareware games usually suck. Linux games rock.

Let's hope more developers get into the Linux gaming industry.

I'm not much into games anymore. I occasionally play Tetris or Hexxagon, but that's about it.

Yes, RT, but at least in Linux you don't pay for them. ;-)
