Have you guys heard about the Linux Gaming Wiki at http://linux.strangegamer.com/ ? I'm not trying to spam or anything (I am an avid Gentoo user and gamer), but it seems like something most linux gamers would like to know about. Full Disclosure: I am an admin at the wiki.

There is also http://www.Wine-Wiki.org too. The more help we can get the better!

With some time I think it would be usable.

When I'll have the time I'll probably add there some howto's too because I spent some time in the past just trying to make games work under wine or by searching for Linux binaries and launchers.

I've already bookmarked the page so the probability about forgeting on it is now pretty low. I guess I'll have plenty of free time in June of this year. I don't even remember how much games I tried to run under Linux.

I remember these that worked and weren't mentioned in howtos on your pages:
- Alien vs Predator (multiplayer not tested)
- Diablo 2 lod (multi working)
- Diable 2 lod Zy-El (multi from v3.8a)
- Doom 3 (quite unexpectable :wink:

)
- Heroes of Might & Magic 3 wog (multi not tested)
- Homeworld (multi not tested)
- Jurassic Park - Operation Genesis (slow, probably due to configuration issues)
- Rollcage 1 (multi not tested)
- SW Galactic Battlegrounds (slow, probably due to configuration issues, multi not tested)
- SW Jedi Academy (multi not tested)
- Total Annahilation (multi didn't detect protocols however tested in quite an old version of wine)
- Unreal Tournament

I probably tried much more however memory failed me...

A solution to play diablo 2 on wine and widescreen is needed. Do you still play it ?

Definitely needs some content but it's a good idea. I guess it's time to contribute some of my writing services

I need hardly a solution for that issue. I have to play at 865x620 windowed mode to simulate full screen on a screen that is capable of 1650x1240. It's weird. Diablo gets cutted when playing fullscreen.
