Im thinking, what about Kingpin, life of crime? It was an awesome game in its time. Problem is, it's unclear who owns the rights to that game.

BTw, did you get my previous post about Redneck Rampage? The franchise was bought a few years ago by Vivendi, they own the rights to it, so it might be a problem getting them to allow it to be ported.
Since it's VU with clear title to the rights for future passes at that game franchise, it's definitely a dead end for now.
Do you think 3dr would agree to port their games too? I would love to see rise of the triad native on linux.Maybe some adventure games, like Perry Rhodan too.

Right there's the full source of the 3 games he worked at while employed at that company.
Edit: Oh, just as a note, as it's stated on the site, one of the files has a virus. It's an old dos era virus, that can be easily detected and eliminated with any free AV available. Since most if not all the people here are *nix users i dont think that'll be a problem anyways.Last edited by Svartalf; 08 July 2008, 12:06 PM.

Edit: xav1r's mention of adventure games brought Sam and Max to mind, it's a small franchise but has a solid group of fans.

They're now defunct, though they were an inside studio for Activision for a time- Grey Matter's URL goes to Treyarch (Which is local, I believe...) so the rights and source trees may have went there (though what they might have done with 'em remains to be seen...). Kingpin's going to have to probably be placed in the "dead-end" listing for now because of all of that.Last edited by Svartalf; 08 July 2008, 12:39 PM.

its a pinball game called slamtilt, its the best pinball game _EVER_ made, and i'd certainly pay good money for a port to linux.
Putting that on Linux would be nice IF it is possible...

Thank you for opening this thread.
I remember Svartalf destroying my hopes of a Deus Ex 1 port in the other thread yet a bit of hope still prevails so I'd like to add
Deus Ex 1 and
Master of Orion 2
to the list. Both are among my favourite games and I'd love to see them ported to Linux.
(I can't seem to get the search function to get working therefore I don't know if the games have already been discussed (haven't read the whole thread yet, I'm somewhere around page 12...))
