A lot of the old games are still around (and it is free), while newer games are available for free in demo form, but it cost some money to get the full versions.Some experts predict that gaming will be the software catagory that will bring Linux into homes. Although the number of popular games are limited at the moment, like every thing else in Linux, more are becoming available each day.



The X Window System creates great opportunity for games in Linux & other UNIX Systems to become graphical-based rather than character-based. So, instead of having little characters represent little robots & arrows, the game could actually show Pictures of little robots & arrows. There also some great games included in almost all the publishes of Linux.
