Inner Worlds	Sleepless Software;GOTO (Sleepless Software)	1996	The protagonist is a female werewolf able to transform between human and wolf forms at will so long has enough mana has been collected. While this is an action side-view platformer game there are enough RPG elements to make this game mainly of the RPG genre. The main character can increase in ability as she progresses in the game. The game appears at first to have a linear design but exploration of the levels will reveal a complex map layout, some levels can be skipped, and completed or skipped levels can be relocated and played again. Certain areas are only accessible via one form or the other. The game has an inventory for various weapons, keys, scrolls, and potions. Normal weapons can be enchanted. Collecting amulets allows for increases in maximum mana or maximum health. Defeating certain enemies grants new abilities. Was developed and compiled on Linux. It was cross compiled for DOS and Windows. The Linux version is actually hidden on the full version CD-ROMs of the Windows and DOS versions. It is also 299 files rather than a monolithic executable (like the DOS and Winders versions were) The DOS version comes in a shareware package consisting of the 1st of 3 episodes. This is not the case with the Linux version and never was. The Linux version only exists (for the public) on the CD-ROMs of the DOS or Windows versions and includes all three episodes. While the full DOS version was made available for download from Sleepless, Inc's website, the Linux and Windows versions were not and are not. They are freely redistributable "whereever you can get it", as stated by Sleepless. As of 2017, it is available on the Internet as file iw12-linux.tgz. And at the Internet Archive. The CD-ROM version is known to have been published in the USA and France. There are very likely other places and languages as well. Inner Worlds was the first proprietary and commercial game developed on Linux. Also the first Linux that you could actually buy on store shelves despite the product being hidden on the disk. It was preceded by Doom which required downloading the Linux version after purchase. Succeeded by Civilization: Call to Power published by Loki Entertainment; the first Linux game on store shelves that was not packaged in a product for another operating system.

Unreal II: eXpanded MultiPlayer	Atari Inc (Legend Entertainment Company)	2003	This is a proprietary game. Legend Entertainment Company went bankrupt before this game was finished. But it was still obscurely published. Some data was also salvaged from the game and released with Unreal II: The Awakening (Special Edition). [Zerothis]
GNOME War Pad	author	2004	A Linux Client for "VGA Planets". The author discontinued work on the client in 2006 saying he would move the source to a Subversion repository. This was not done. The client and source code are under the GPL license so where ever copies exists anyone can do what they want with them. That said, it is a rather difficult game to find out there on the Internet. It is available in Debian and Ubuntu Hardy, Intrepid, Jaunty, Karmic, Lucid, and Maverick repositories. It was last 'supported' in Ubuntu Lucid. No artificial barriers prevent its compilation or installation on any Linux distro.
Zelda Classic	Armageddon Games	2007	Remember how hard the original was without maps and guids? The 4th quest (usually launched after the 2nd), is much harder than the 1st and 2nd combined. Then the 3rd quest (usually played last), is even harder. And there's a 5th quest.***An unofficial [i]near[/i] pixel perfect recreation of the original NES classic plus additional quests. Also includes an editor; using the Zelda Classic Engine to make completely new games in the style of the original game, Link to the Past, and Link's Awakening. Engine and game creation tools of the editor are extensive enough to create platformer games and other games that don't resemble any Zelda games at all. Upon finishing the 2nd quest with 16 hearts, players will begin the '4th' quest (because its easier than the 3rd). To play the 3rd quest after the 2nd, complete it with fewer than 16 hearts. Beat the 3rd quest [b]without dying[/b] to play the 5th quest. Beat the 5th quest with at least 1 death to play the 4th quest.[spoiler=Naming your player certain names will allow starting a quest immediately without having to play through other quests;close passwords]ZELDA=2nd Quest ALPHA=3rd Quest GANON=4th Quest JEAN=5th Quest[/spoiler] The frequently updated versions often do not get corresponding Linux versions. Quests sometimes do not work correctly unless they are matched with the version they were created for. Generally, only the latest Linux version is available from Armageddon Games and this is located in a hard to find spot on the site (and changes). Despite this, all Quests can be played on Linux once a compatible version of the player is downloaded by whoever may be providing it currently on the internet. 2.10 2.10.2 2.10b784 2.10 lost isle build 2.11 2.11 lost isle build 2.50
Eufloria	Eufloria-Game	2009	Is this actually for Linux? The official site says it runs only through Wine.*A proprietary game. Requires 1GHz CPU, 512 MB RAM, 100 HD, Does not work with Intel’s onboard integrated mobile graphics chipsets. [Zerothis]*Eufloria is beautifully styled, incredibly addictive game of space exploration and conquest that avoids all genre clichés and employs surprising themes of plant growth and bio-mechanical evolution. It has been developed by two-man indie team Rudolf Kremers (Design) & Alex May (programming), with terrific music and audio by Brian Grainger (Milieu) The game allows the player to explore a beautifully realized universe rendered in a style that is both unique and compelling. Eufloria’s aesthetics are reminiscent of children’s books like "The Little Prince" and is supported by an original ambient soundtrack by Brian Grainger. Gameplay revolves around conquering asteroids in space and using their resources to literally grow and nurture new semi-organic plants and creatures to do the player’s bidding. The player is pitted against several teams of AI opponents that all vie for the same resources and can offer fierce opposition. The game offers casual style controls and ease of play, but allows for very deep strategic gameplay, married to artistic but user-friendly graphics. This makes the game easy to learn, hard to master, and addictive and approachable to most types of game players. Most of the content in the game is procedurally generated, and each play session is therefore unique. Features Some of the game’s features include the following: -A single player campaign boosting 25 levels -A skirmish mode against AI opponents with highly procedural (and replayable) original levels -A third unlockable gameplay mode with special graphics and tougher AI -Integrated LUA Scripting for allowing for enormous modding potential -A unique soundtrack of over 2 hours of music created by Brian Grainger, AKA Milieu -New unit types that expand on the game’s unique aesthetic and gameplay -Massively improved AI -An intuitive and almost completely mouse-based interface -Unique and appealing visuals

Windward	Tasharen Entertainment	2012	[media=youtube]2hZX6xHQtUg[/media]*Looks like Sid Meyer's Pirates, only modernerish. Choose your war ship, sail into battle, fire you cannons. This is an obscure release; the Windows and Mac version are on Desura, Steam, and Tasharen's website. You'll only find the Linux version hidden on Tasharen's website at http://tasharen.com/windward/WindwardLinux.zip. UPDATE: Eventually released on Desura then GOG.*[b]The Game[/b] Windward is a fast-paced naval combat game set in the fantasy time period similar to the mid-17th century. It features a variety of different ships to choose from, different maps to play on by yourself or with your friends, randomly generated booty to discover, talents to earn, and plenty more. Features Variety of skirmish maps with different objectives Different ships to choose from Experience from combat results in levels Random items drop in combat Full multiplayer support As a fun side-feature, your ship will appear in other player's games (even single-player), so they will either praise you or curse your very name, depending on which side your ship ends up on and how uber you've made it All of those features are already in place. Going forward, for those in search of a longer single-player and co-op experience, there will be the Campaign mode, where a huge procedural world gets generated just for you, complete with factions controlling territory that you can work with or plot against, do tasks for, discover treasure, or of course -- pillage everything in sight.

And you can initiate purchase of all those version there. But to get to the Linux version English readers must track down an obscure announcement in the Artifex Mundi website to find out it was offered to Steam Greenlight. The Polish web team did note its availability on Steam and this news is archived, but neither "Linux" nor "Steam" is noted during purchase in any language.

Enigmatis: The Mists of Ravenwood	Artifex Mundi	2013	Daily readers of Artifex Mundi's website news would have seen the coming soon and releases for Windows, Mac, Android via Google Play, Android via Amazon app store, Windows Phone 8, and Blackberry versions of this game. The Linux version was released at the same moment as the Mac version, without announcement of the Linux version. At this same time, the game was released on Steam (but not the Linux version). This news of the Linux version appeared nowhere on the web and the Linux version was apparently not downloadable. June of next year, they finally added the Linux version to Steam. To date, the game can be purchased from a wide variety of outlets including Artifex Mundi's website, but the Linux version only appears on Steam. While it eventually appeared in other outlets, it still remains unannounced by Artifex Mundi.
