    Hands down. One of my favorite games of all time, an open world, hilarious, fun, sprawling adventure with music that slaps SO hard. Originally titled Star Control 2, went through some crazy copyright hell but now is getting an official sequel soon, over 30 years later.

    EDIT: Oh wait, you said Linux. I think it works on Steam Deck and Proton though, does that count?

      steamdeck runs on linux,
      proton is a “Compatibility layer” to run windows only games on linux.

      so yes, that means it runs on linux.

      For the most part, if it runs on the steam deck and/or with proton, then it runs on Linux.

          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.

          Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

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

          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.

    Jet Set Radio

    It’s through Proton, but the game runs flawlessly. Do note that you’re really going to want a controller for this one. Playing this with a keyboard is a miserable experience. Another thing is that there’s an unofficial tool for importing images over your custom graffiti, but it’s for Windows and I’ve never tried it with Wine.

    Would love to see a lot of responses to this post, as this thread could become a curated list of great retro games to play on Linux.

    og Counter Strike (1.6) available on native linux. It plays well even on toaster and lan play, we still have populated pub servers in South East Asia.

    Another favourite of mine is og Doom 1 and Doom 2, if you want to modernize (and better mod support) the game, use gzdoom source port.
