Hi Brendan, This is a great idea! I run UQM(Star Control II), Doom, and Quake2 on my sparc when things are slow. There are definitely a lot of great games that work on Solaris, but no single place to find or archive such games. Looking forward to this getting started. I can definitely contribute to this community.
