Here is are the notes from last nights meeting.

Here are some commercial games that have native linux ports for them

Neverwinter Nights (http://nwn.bioware.com/)
Uplink (http://uplink.co.uk/)
Unreal Tournament 2004 (http://www.unrealtournament.com/index.php)

Some Gui Games that are free.

Nethack (http://www.nethack.org/)
LinCity (http://lincity.org/)
FreeCiv (http://freeciv.org/)
XshipWars (http://wolfpack.twu.net/ShipWars/XShipWars/)
Netrek (http://www.netrek.org/)
 
And some Console Games

Dungeon (http://www.ibiblio.org/linsearch/lsms/dungeon-3.2.3.html
TwClone (http://twclone.sourceforge.net/)

Finally some links for Linux Game resources

SourceForge Games 
(http://sourceforge.net/softwaremap/trove_list.php?form_cat=80)
Linux Games (http://www.linuxgames.com/)
Tux Games (http://www.tuxgames.com/)
Icculus (http://icculus.org/)

Thats about it for now.  I may add too this as I come up with new 
stuff.  Such as, when buying commercial games, buy from a retailer that 
caters to linux gamers.  That way when you buy a game like Unreal 
Tournament 2004 that has Linux, Windows, and Mac versions on the same 
disc, your sale gets marked as a Linux sale.  Then developers and 
publishers have stats showing there is a market for linux games.

Also, the next meeting is May the 17th at the Downtown Library, from 
6-9pm.  A proposed topic is VideoLan (http://videolan.org)
