Talk of Hyperion porting games to Linux on slashdot : Comment 65 of 70ANN.lu

In reply to Comment 60 (Anonymous):
>Well it's different for the Amiga and Linux markets, keep them separate.

No doubts.

>If you're a Linux x86 user you get two or three big name games every year, even if they're maybe a little later than on Windows. So when you're playing RtCW (free sequel out yesterday or so) and waiting for Doom 3, you hear about a 3rd rate racing game and you say "Who cares? We don't need this 3rd rate junk"

Well, i agree with you. But personally i don't dismiss everything just because it isn't another Doom3. If you see where i'm coming from with this. More is better. People wan't the games market to take more notice of linux as a viable platform, and even though a few games are ported it still has a stigma attached to it as a 'geeks only' OS. More games even '3rd rate junk' as you call them fill up the games list and makes linux look like it actually has a gameing community. Besides, even the simple games are good now and then. :)

>The Amiga market doesn't have any games, but then I didn't see anyone whining in that market.

Funny, i thought my agonised wailing was heard round the world. ;)
