Well, there definatley isn't a requirement to go out and buy games. If
you want to, that's great. I know its old now (sniff), but if anyone
wants to play some Neverwinter Nights under Linux I have two copies of
the game, maybe someone else has another so that would make three. I
also have Doom 3, Quake 4 and World of Warcraft (can play using Wine).
If anyone else has those games and will be coming, let us know.
I think its important to show and realize that there are commercial
games out there that work in Linux. Especially just in the past year or
two.

Those are good too. Also:
OpenArena
TORCS
Daimonin
Warsow
To through some others out there, here is the list from the wiki for the
2005 Linux Gaming Fest:
* Armagetron
* BZFlag
* Tux Racer
* Legends
* TORCS
* Battle for Wesnoth
* Glest
* Gate 88
* Globulation 2
* Scorched 3D
* netPanzer
* Mistlands
* Fight Win Prevail
* Cube
* Cannon Smash
* Tornado (ascii-multiplayer-destroy-your-neighbors-house-with-weather game)
* Unreal Tournament 2004
* Neverwinter Nights
Also, as noted on that page, a problem we ran into back then was that
there were version differences between distributions of Linux and some
of the games required the same version to be used, which sucked.
There are something like 65 5 star rated games listed on
happypenguin.org. And a lot of the 4 star ones are good too.
