Unreal Tournament in Linux (without wine)

Yeah, you can play UT in Linux without having to deal with wine.... You've probably heard of the software company called Loki , which ports some very good game titles over to Linux. Anyways, Loki offers a 100% free Linux port of UT (total port, no wine involved).

I think on my machine, UT runs better in Linux than it does in Windows. What You'll Need:
  • It's good to beat the minimum hardware requirements by at least double if you want to play it at its highest settings. The requirement are in the readme file.
  • You'll need to already own the UT installation CDROM, which goes for CAN these days.
  • You can download the Linux installer which is about 6MB, the links are below.
  • No serial number required.
The readme file will tell you how to run the installer. Basically, the installer is an executable shell script with the installation files embedded into it. The Linux installer will use the data files from the Win CDROM to install UT on your Linbox. Oh yeah, once it is installed, you don't need the CDROM anymore. :) If you like it, you should support Loki Software by buying one of their other great games they ported to Linux. I heard that they have filed for Chapter 11 a while ago. Loki's UT page: http://www.lokigames.com/products/ut/ here's the D/L link if you're interested: ftp://ftp.lokigames.com/pub/patches/ut/ut-install-436.run and the readme file: ftp://ftp.lokigames.com/pub/patches/ut/ut-install-436.run.txt



Games == More Users

As much as people praise Linux for it\'s reliability and configurability, they still have to reboot into Windows to play most of their games. Maybe we\'ll start to see more Linux gaming software now that the number of Linux users is getting closer to the number of Mac users (though that may not be saying much). This will hopefully create a growth cycle of more games -> more users -> more games.
