Seconded. I've played all the Doom and Quake games, and from circa
Quake2 onward, it's all been under Linux. id knows how to get my money.
I've also had fun with Unreal Tournament 2003/2004.

I also play NWN somewhat, usually with my son. He's dying to get NWN
Diamond on his computer, he's still using my original copy of NWN.

Maybe I'm just showing my own age here as well, but I still enjoy the
old games. I've got about 90% of what Loki ever released and I can still
play them even. Descent 1/2/3 are the reasons I bought a joystick,
though it doesn't get much use anymore.

I'm not much of a fan of WINE though. I haven't had much success with
it, especially with stuff that's not gold/platinum rated.  And I'd
rather support those who support me.
