Does Linux do games well?

[Gary Nichols]

I can vouch for Wine-X.  It's money well spent.  I have Diablo II and Jedi 
Knight II working flawlessly under it.  Those are really the only 
windows-based games I play - and now I don't need windows.  

As for linux-port games, get on eBay.  You can find most of the loki 
titles (simcity3k, heroes3, myth2, etc) for $9 - $20.  

I own Quake3, Solider Of Fortune, Descent3, Heavy Metal, Myth2 and Heroes 
3.  All of them run great on an Athlon 800 w/GeForce256 or better in my 
case.  

Now I just need time to play them...
