    Giants: Citizen Kabuto

    Sacrifice

    Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth

    X-Wing Alliance

    Morrowind

    These were some of my favourite games as a kid/teenager. There are a lot more but I didn’t want to dump a giant list in the comments.

    I’ve played them all on my Steam Deck so they definitely run on linux.

      Oh man, Giants: Citizen Kabuto is a gem. Nice call.

        If you haven’t already checked it out, Armed and Dangerous is by the same studio and is very similar in terms of gameplay and humor. Not quite as polished, but a lot funnier in my opinion.

          I did play it. It was silly and fun, but the gameplay felt so much more banal than GCK, which was amazingly All The Genres and shockingly successful at it.

      OpenMW is an engine rewrite for Morrowind that also has Linux builds and multiplayer support if that’s your thing.

        I saw this Criken video a while ago of him playing it with friends and it looks awesome. The video is hilarious too.

          Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

          Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

        It’s definitely my favourite of the X-Wing/TIE Fighter games. I really like the story in it, focusing on a family caught up in the war.

          Yeah, I thought that was so cool when I played it the first time. Gives you some insight into how the neutral parties went about trying to live their lives.

          Although I really liked the story in TIE Fighter too with slowly beating back the rebellion while also trying to prevent internal sabotage and spies from stealing the TIE Defender.
