So yes, you can play your old 1999 games if you keep an old 1999 Linux

Nope, bog standard suse 10.3 here.

but that's no substitute for the
Windows experience of picking up a "buy 3 for £10" old PC games offer in
the high street and just putting the disc in the computer. It's really
my 11 year old who'd most like to play computer games and the latter he
can cope with, the former, of course not.

There are more games available for 'bloze, no argument there.


Even the new Linux Quake 4 demo doesn't run on OpenSuSE 10.2 because the
sound is all broken and horrible, let alone old bargain basement Windows
games.

I fixed Q4 sound after a bit of googling, blue skies. I just don't like
the game that much - ut2004 is more enjoyable IMHO.

As for bargain basement windoze games, I couldn't say. I'd be more
likely to try bargain basement linux games.
