Games?

[BobSlacker]

I experienced performance issues with games/0ad once there are too many units on the map

Could you please share your setup?

Sorry, I actually haven’t prepped a FreeBSD system for gaming. My statement is based on my experience with Linux and probably also 2+ years outdated (I don’t play that often). It’s a known issue according to their FAQ anyways.

in my best WOPR voice: how about a nice game of chess?

I run Diablo 2 LoD with wine.

Did you manage to get battle.net working? Last I tried it ran perfectly fine in single player, but as soon as I click the battle net button, game would hang.

Xonotic, Red Eclipse, Open Arena are pretty fun and in ports.

There are many options for chess, The best one pychess. But there are unfortunately some bugs in the tutorials. But the main part of it is running very well .

I don't think you guys understand the historical reference. You are old enough. You should know!

I've always enjoyed adventure. The first time I played it was on an IBM mainframe (IBM 370/168 -- or was it the 370/165, the company had two mainframes running OS/MVT at the time) in 1976, written in Fortran IV. The BSD version was written in C. I think it was ported from the Fortran version.

Woah, no'one mentioned the massive amount of make files available in /usr/ports/games I didn't know all these titles were ported to FreeBSD.

Games is waste of time (IMXO).

Best time is time wasted.
