There's a native port of Quake1 somewhere isn't there.  I don't own Q1 so I can't say.  I did have Quake 2 going for a little bit prior to a reinstall. 

I would mention ioquake3 along with Quake3 since that rebuild seems to get sound working. 

Enemy territory works on the eee but I can't get the sound working even with the magic catting things in proc stuff which is supposed to get it to work.  If anyone has gotten this to work I'd love to hear how. 

There's also Tremulous and World of Padman.  I had the latter running but wasn't a fan.

You may want to add two further categories to Linux (native) and Linux (wine), namely ScummVM and DosBox.  I haven't installed DosBox but I have played the beginnings of various Lucas Arts games and others using ScummVM and there is a good guide on installing it in the wiki

Good idea, Ive played some good games on old DosBox.

Anyone tried running World of Warcraft off a USB HDD using Wine?

All three Introversion games work. Defcon and Uplink are definitely playable.

For Uplink, you'll probably have resolution issues, so you need to run it for the first time with "uplink '!graphics_screenwidth' 800 '!graphics_screenheight' 480", all subsequent runs of the game will run fine.

Defcon you will need to disable Smooth Lines in the options; after that it will run very well. Framerate is not always perfect (and the touchpad is bit of a chore to use with that game at first, but you can definitively adjust; I did). It's not a twitch game though, so you'll be fine, trust me (except when you play me though! Muahahahahahaha!) The Wargames mod might make it a bit easier to make out on the 7" screen.

While I can start Darwinia with no apparent resolution problems, but I haven't found a way to make the FPS playable so far, even with all settings at their lowest. I might be missing something, so feel free to try and prove me wrong.

games that work under wine-

CS
DoD
HL
RCT1
RCT2
all hl engine mods
quake 3 arena
quake 3 team arena
CSCZ
trackmania:united (25-45 fps with 1gb ram, 30+ fps on the custom-made tracks when playing online *this is with overclocking*)
all the source engine games work but only get about 10fps on low settings...
UT1
duke nukem

I plan to see if I can get the following games to run under wine, soon as I buy my Eee in ~two weeks: Starsiege, Starsiege: Tribes, Tribes 2, Command & Conquer Tiberian Sun, C&C Red Alert 2, C&C Renegade. There was also a native linux version of Tribes 2 released, so I'm going to see if I can get my hands on that.

Does "RCT1/2" happen to mean Roller Coaster Tycoon?

You should add OpenTTD (Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe) to the list of native Linux games. Works great.

Has anyone tried Warcraft III w/ Frozen Throne expansion yet?

As my first post I would like to report that Warsow works fine for me.  I downloaded the full package and ran ./warsow.i386.  I cranked down the quality settings and it seems to run acceptably.  The sound isn't too good but it's there.

I would like to run it from the SD card but if I try to launch it from there I get a permissions error.  I've had a look in the forums but can't find a solution. 

Any suggestions would be very welcome.

I'm surprised nobody has tried installing Unreal Tournament with the Linux installer yet.

Luckily, I have the sitting and waiting for me at my family home, so I'll try it myself in a few days.

I can see no reason why UT shouldn't install and run fine. The installer for Linux was developed by icculus and is similar to the ones for Quake3 and OpenArena. I suspect that the original UT is the only one which would run on the Eee, as later versions have greater requirements.

What about the likes of:
AssaultCube
Cube
LinCity-NG
Nexuiz
Super Tux
SuperTuxCart
Tremulous
OpenArena
Frets on Fire
FlightGear
FreeDoom
Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory
TrueCombat: Elite

Would anyone be willing to check out how well a game called Eternal Lands runs on the default OS, and windows xp? It can be found on www.eternal-lands.com. There's a linux client, as well as windows, mac, and 1-2 others.
