Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth
These were some of my favourite games as a kid/teenager. There are a lot more but I didn’t want to dump a giant list in the comments.
Favourite Retro games that can be found on Steam (Linux)

Oh man, Giants: Citizen Kabuto is a gem. Nice call.

If you haven’t already checked it out, Armed and Dangerous is by the same studio and is very similar in terms of gameplay and humor. Not quite as polished, but a lot funnier in my opinion.

X-Wing Alliance is so freaking good

It’s definitely my favourite of the X-Wing/TIE Fighter games. I really like the story in it, focusing on a family caught up in the war.

OpenMW is an engine rewrite for Morrowind that also has Linux builds and multiplayer support if that’s your thing.

I saw this Criken video a while ago of him playing it with friends and it looks awesome. The video is hilarious too.

Would love to see a lot of responses to this post, as This Thread could become a curated list of great retro games to play on Linux.

It's through Proton, but the game runs flawlessly. Do note that you're really going to want a controller for this one. Playing this with a keyboard is a miserable experience. Another thing is that there's an unofficial tool for importing images over your custom graffiti, but it's for Windows and I've never tried it with Wine.

Wesnoth has always been pretty good.

og Counter Strike (1.6) available on native linux. It plays well even on toaster and lan play, we still have populated pub servers in South East Asia.
Another favourite of mine is og Doom 1 and Doom 2, if you want to modernize (and better mod support) the game, use gzdoom source port.

Chip’s Challenge. It is a remake, but it was remade by the same guy!

Hands down. One of my favorite games of all time, an open world, hilarious, fun, sprawling adventure with music that slaps SO hard. Originally titled Star Control 2, went through some crazy copyright hell but now is getting an official sequel soon, over 30 years later.

steamdeck runs on linux,
proton is a “Compatibility layer” to run windows only games on linux.
so yes, that means it runs on linux.
CosmicCleric@lemmy.world 6 months ago
If it runs on the steam deck and/or with proton, then it runs on Linux.
