can you play the games while off-line?
Buy Age of Empires. You can get it cheap on eBay and it will keep you busy for hours on end.
Back in the mid 90s, a friend gave me a copy of game called Cyber dogs which was a character with different weapons going through mazes. The maze layout was kind of PAC man like. Love to find a working copy somewhere.
Oh! And another great one....Kerbal Space Program. Google it. It’s free. Hours of fun creating your own spaceship that you can use to fly to the moon. Graphics are awesome. Though it does take some decent hardware to run smooth.
My understanding is that EVE no longer supports Linux, but the Linux/EVE community is still active. I don’t have time to dig into it any farther.
Good question - I know they have a Mac client...
I guess I ws thinking free games, lol
some Linux users can use WINE and CROSSOVER to get on EVE
“Where is the mystery (and fun) part in that game?”
We’ll, there’s a whole cast of “characters” and a number of ways to lose i.e. coup, revolt etc...
the Kerbal Space demo also has a Linux version, yay!
If I understand your need correctly, the game will have to be pretty much self-contained because you can’t count on cheap bandwidth or any bandwidth at all at your destination. I’d suggest checking out this site: www.bigfishgames.com - their games are available in a number of genres from Mah Jong to some fairly sophisticated adventure games. The demographic for these is approximately 75% female, so you get quite a few female-POV games. Check out what’s available - most of these aren’t free but are very reasonable and do not require any special equipment (i.e. controllers) to play. Best of luck!
Understood. When you return, think about joining a nullsec corp. You’ll make silly money (ratting and mining have huge payouts relative to highsec), and you’ll get in some great PvP action if you want.
Funny thing about nullsec is that, given the way sovereignty works, you’re actually safer there than you are in highsec space. You still need to watch local, but you’re far less likely to be ganked while mining or ratting.
Or Leisure S. Larry in “Love for Sail”. Good for 20 or more hours of what to do on a cruise.
P S Studies show that when players are blind to gender, women are the more violent.
Oooooooooooooh. I’ll be getting that as soon as I get home.
Thank you so much everyone. If I stop posting and thanking it means I had to give up my borrowed internet connection but I’ll come back and investigate all of your suggestions.
Yes.
If you like poker, go to Youda Games and download Governor of Poker. It was $20 a few years ago. You travel through Texas playing the local town players until you own all of Texas.
I was going to suggest the same thing. :-)
