== Technical specifications == :''See also:'' [[History of Unix]] Unix systems are descendants of or clones of the original AT&T Unix. Unix systems have been ported to many kinds of hardware, including x86 and Macintosh. Most Unix variants have the same [[game]]s available. There are many variants of Unix, including: * '''GNU/Linux''' (Linux distros like Fedora Core, Gentoo, Ubuntu, ...) * '''*BSD''' (FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, ...) * '''Mac OS X''', which also runs [[Apple Macintosh]] games * '''UNIX System V''' variants (HP-UX, Solaris, IRIX) * '''AIX''' from IBM * others - see [[Wikibooks:A Neutral Look at Operating Systems/Unix]] There are several types of [[game]]s available: * ''Terminal games'' run on the console or an X11 terminal emulator such as xterm. Text adventures like [[Adventure]] describe the world in text, and accept text commands. The [[roguelike]] games draw themselves in ASCII art. * ''X11 games'' use the X Window System, Version 11 to display. Most Unix come with [[wikipedia:XFree86|XFree86]] or [[wikipedia:XOrg|XOrg]]. Some X11 games use the cross-platform Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) library, and some use [[OpenGL]] 3D graphics. * Wine games : Wine is an open-source win32 subsystem(that is not an emulator) that allow *nix users to play some windows games(as it is not an emulator Only x86 and similar(X86-64...) are able to use it because windows games are in binary form) * Cedega games : Cedega is a more complete win32 subsystem for games '''if we forget about commercial games,a lot of unixes open-source games are also available for windows,or others os''' == Game list == * [[Adventure]] * [[Battle for Wesnoth]] * [[Battles of Antargis]] * [[DooM 3]] * [[Neverwinter Nights]] * [[Second Life]] * [[w:c:Freeciv|Freeciv]] * [[Glest]] * [[Hack]] * [[NetHack]] * [[Nexuiz]] * [[Rogue]] * [[Slash'EM]] * [[SuperTux]] * [[Tremulous]] * [[XPilot]] {{wikipedia-info}} [[Category:Operating systems]]
