Games

From openSUSE

openSUSE provides many entertaining games for free. With the rise of the internet, gaming is evolving towards Linux, and more and more games and emulators for games are becoming available. It is often a misconception that Linux has sub quality games. Lately, Linux had been receiving many of the same games that Windows users have, and with emulators, there is a new option, one that lets you play games created for DOS, Windows and other platforms as if they were built for Linux.
