SuperGamer, 8GB of Linux-Only Gameplay

,----[ Quote ]
| Thankfully, I'm not the guy in charge of 
| things worldwide, because the folks over at 
| www.supergamer.org have created a bootable, 
| dual-layer DVD full of native-running Linux 
| games. Yes, I said native. Check out the 
| impressive list of preinstalled games you'll 
| get when you download the ISO:
| 
|     * Quake Wars
|     * Doom 3
|     * Prey
|     * Unreal Tournament
|     * Quake 4

SuperGamer Live DVD

,----[ Quote ]
| A while back I took at a Linux distribution geared solely toward playing
| games called Live Linux Gaming. Well thereâs another remastered distribution
| for gamers called SuperGamer. SuperGamer is based on VectorLinux and requires
| a dual layer DVD. It weighs in at roughly 8GB so itâs a bit on the chunky
| side as a download. But, given the number of games it comes with (more on
| that below), you can understand why itâs such a large download. SuperGamer is
| based on the 2.6.27.24 kernel and can run on 32 or 64 bit computers.
|
| [...]
|
| SuperGamer is a great addition to the remastered distro collection of any
| intermediate or advanced Linux user. Itâs well worth a download even given
| itâs large file size. Linux gamers in particular should probably consider
| this a must-have given the level of convenience in having all of its games
| right at their fingertips in a Live CD.

Play Linux Games From A Live DVD

,----[ Quote ]
| When it comes to gaming in Linux, one of the most frequently faced problems
| is the sourcing of the game code then compiling and installing them on your
| machine. While some games provide easy ways to install them or are found in
| the distroâs software repository, there are plenty of games that come in pure
| binary source code and require you to compile, make and install, all of which
| are like a nightmare to many Linux newbies.

MIB Live Games

,----[ Quote ]
| MIB Live Games is a treasure trove for Linux gamers; at last count over 100
| games, 48 in arcade alone. As it is based on Mandriva 2008, the setup (and
| possible installation) are a breeze; to say that everything is included out
| of the box on this remaster of Mandriva 2008 âOneâ would be an understatement
| indeed.
|
| [...]
|
| For those in Asia, using the original Mandriva 2008 âOneâ Asia edition is
| preferable as this remaster only offers major European languages at the
| starting configuration screen, though again they are not that difficult to
| add once the system is installed.

Open Source Gaming Review: Linux Gamers Live DVD 0.9.2

,----[ Quote ]
| Overall I like this live dvd of popular free Linux games and I wish the
| absolute best to the developers of the Linux-Gamers.net Live DVD and I want
| to encourage them to continue their work. It?s very, very much appreciated.
| While it?s still got some growing to do, and some bugs to iron out, it really
| has been a very enjoyable distribution to experiment with. I especially like
| the idea that I can take it with me anywhere I go and play some of my
| favorite Linux games, even if the system I?m playing it on doesn?t have
| Linux.

Linux Got Game!

,----[ Quote ]
| Depending upon your preferences, Supergamer Supreme can be totally awesome.
| It can be run from the live DVD with almost as good performance as when
| installed. Perhaps you don't mind booting back and forth between systems, and
| as such the Firefox, MPlayer, and GIMP versions may not matter all that much.
| Even if you prefer to avoid lots of booting, are the older versions even an
| issue for you? Despite the drawbacks, Supergamer Supreme is still the best
| gaming distro available.
