-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Thats not that old... I think I am gonna cry now. I play Master of Orion (1 and 2), old skool battlechess (ran nicely on my old 386 laptop), global conquest (a really good strategy game that is still fun to play), star control 2 (or the redone Ur Quon Masters, which has debian sources for native linux gaming goodness, woo-hoo). I also like Sim City 2000, and a host of fun DOS era games.
Also, your machine specs may also explain why FC5 is slow, it is geared towards higher end hardware. Mitchell Brown wrote: > Sweet. Unfortunetly, my only linux box is extremely old.
