Introducción

Lista de videojuegos en Linux hace referencia a todos los títulos de juegos que pueden correr en el sistema operativo Linux. Se hace referencia a juegos de libres/código fuente libre, también a los comerciales,^[1] que corren nativamente en Linux o juegos propietarios que tienen un porte a Linux. El listado de videojuegos también hace referencia a dispositivos de juegos como la consola de juegos Pandora o juegos orientados a distribuciones tal como SuperGamer. El listado de videojuegos también puede considerar al sistema operativo Android y juegos de móviles en plataformas Android, aunque hay diferencias entre los dos sistemas y la industria. En los últimos años el listado de videojuegos Linux también se ha convertido más estrechamente relacionados con los juegos en plataformas alternativas, tal como juegos en Mac.

En lo que a desarrollo se refiere, el soporte de librerías para juegos en Linux es provista por OpenGL, ALSA, OpenAL y SDL, librerías multimedias para plataformas cruzadas dependientes del sistema, como Pygame. El proyecto DRI provee hardware para gráficos y Software libre y de código abierto|manejadores de tarjetas de vídeos de código abierto, NVIDIA y ATI también liberan los módulos binarios del núcleo de sus tarjetas de vídeo. Linux también corre en varias consolas de juegos, incluyendo Xbox,^[2] PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, GameCube,^[3] y Wii, que permite a los desarrolladores de videojuegos acceder al hardware de la consola sin un kit de desarrollo de juegos caros. Varios periféricos de juegos también funcionan en Linux, tales como ratones para juegos desde que tienen los manejadores oficiales de Linux. ^[4] Varias herramientas para desarrollos de juegos también corren en Linux, incluyendo Game Editor y GtkRadiant.

Historia

Ver también (en inglés) en:Open source video game#History

Juegos en Linux comenzó en gran parte como una extensión del mundo de los juegos de la ya presente Unix, con ambos sistemas compartiendo varios títulos similares. Estos juegos eran en su mayoría originales o clones de juegos de arcade y aventuras de texto. Un ejemplo notable de esto es juegos BSD, una colección de títulos de Aventura conversacional.^[5] Las metodologías del software libre y código abierto dio lugar al desarrollo del sistema operativo en general también dio lugar a la creación temprana de varios juegos libres. Tempranos títulos populares incluidos NetHack, Netrek, XBill, XEvil, xbattle, Xconq y XPilot. Como el sistema operativo en sí mismo creció y se expandió, la cantidad de juegos libres y de código abierto también aumentaron en escala y complejidad.

El comienzo de los juegos comerciales en Linux se le atribuye haber comenzado en 1994, cuando Dave D. Taylor portó el juego Doom a Linux en su tiempo libre, así como a muchos otros sistemas.^{[6] [7]} De allí también ayudó a fundar el estudio de desarrollo Crack dot Com, que lanzó el videojuego Abuse, el juego portado a Linux fue publicado por el proveedor de Linux Red Hat.^{[8] [9]} Id Software, los desarrolladores originales de Doom, también continuaron sus lanzamientos de sus productos para Linux. Su producto Quake fue portado a Linux en 1996, una vez más por un empleado que trabaja en su tiempo libre.^[10] Más tarde los productos de id continuaron siendo portados por David Kirsch y Timothee Besset respectivamente. Otros de los primeros juegos comerciales de Linux incluido Hopkins FBI, un juego de aventuras lanzado en 1998 por MP Entertainment,^{[11] [12]} e Inner Worlds en 1996, que fue lanzado y mayormente desarrollado en Linux.^[13]

In 1998, a new software firm called Loki Software was founded by Scott Draeker, a former lawyer who became interested in porting games to Linux after being introduced to the system through his work as a software licensing attorney.^[14] Loki, although a commercial failure, is credited with the birth of the modern Linux game industry. Loki developed several free software tools, such as the Loki installer (also known as Loki Setup),^[15] and supported the development of the Simple DirectMedia Layer, as well as starting the OpenAL audio library project.^{[16] [17]} These are still often creditedPlantilla:By whom as being the cornerstones of Linux game development. They were also responsible for bringing nineteen high profile games to the platform before its closure in 2002. Loki's initial success also attracted other firms to invest in the Linux gaming market, such as Tribsoft, Hyperion Entertainment, Macmillan Digital Publishing USA, Xatrix Entertainment, and Philos Laboratories. During this time Michael Simms founded Tux Games, one of the first still active online Linux game retailers.^[18]

After Loki's closure, the Linux game market experienced some changes. Although some new firms, such as Linux Game Publishing and RuneSoft, would largely continue the role of a standard porting house, the focus began to change with Linux game proponents encouraging game developers to port their game products themselves or through individual contractors.^[19] Influential to this was Ryan C. Gordon, a former Loki employee who would over the next decade port several game titles to multiple platforms, including Linux.^[20] Around this time many companies, starting with id, also began to release legacy source code leading to a proliferation of source ports of older games to Linux and other systems. The Linux gaming market has also experienced some growth over the past few yearsPlantilla:When with the rise of independent video game development, with many "indie" developers favouring support for multiple platforms. The recent Humble Indie Bundle initiatives have helped formally demonstrate this new trend.^[21]

Source ports

Several developers have released the source code to many of their legacy titles, allowing them to be run as native applications on many alternative platforms, including Linux. Examples of games which were ported to Linux this way include Duke Nukem 3D, Shadow Warrior, Rise of the Triad, Ken's Labyrinth, Seven Kingdoms, Warzone 2100, Homeworld, Call to Power II, Wolfenstein 3D, Heretic, Hexen, Hexen II, Aliens versus Predator, Descent, Descent II and Freespace 2. Several game titles that were previously released for Linux were also able to be expanded or updated because of the availability of game code, including Doom, Abuse, Quake, Quake II, Quake III Arena and Jagged Alliance 2. Some derivatives based on released source code have also been released for Linux, such as Aleph One and Micropolis for Marathon 2: Durandal and SimCity respectively.

Certain game titles were even able to be ported due to availability of shared engine code even though the game's code itself remains proprietary or otherwise unavailable, such as the video game Strife or the multiplayer component of Star Trek: Voyager - Elite Force. Some games have even been ported entirely or partially by reverse engineering and game engine recreation such as WarCraft II through Wargus or Commander Keen. Another trick is to attempt hacking the game to work as a mod on another native title, such as with the original Unreal. Additionally, some games can be run through the use of Linux specific runtime environments, such as the case of certain games made with Adventure Game Studio such as the Chzo Mythos or certain titles made with the RPG Maker tool. Games derived from released code, with both free and proprietary media, that are released for Linux include Urban Terror, OpenArena, FreeDoom, World of Padman, Nexuiz/Xonotic, War§ow and Excalibur: Morgana's Revenge.

Emulation and compatibility layers

There are also APIs, virtual machines, and machine emulators that provide binary compatibility:

• Wine for Microsoft Windows, as well as the forks CrossOver and Cedega; PlayOnLinux simplifies installing games;
• FCE Ultra and TuxNES for the Nintendo Entertainment System;
• Snes9x and ZSNES for the Super Nintendo;
• Mupen64Plus and the no longer actively developed original Mupen64 for the Nintendo 64;
• gnuboy for the Nintendo Game Boy and Game Boy Color;
• VisualBoy Advance for the Game Boy Advance;
• DeSmuME for the Nintendo DS;
• ScummVM for LucasArts and various other adventure games;
• DOSBox and DOSEMU for MS DOS;
• UAE for the Amiga;
• Basilisk II for the 68040 Macintosh;
• Frotz for Z-Machine text adventures;
• MAME for arcade games;
• VICE for the Commodore 64;
• Mednafen and Xe emulating multiple hardware platforms including some of the above;
• Dolphin for the Nintendo GameCube, Wii, and the Triforce;
• PCSX-Reloaded, pSX and the Linux port of ePSXe for the PlayStation One;
• PCSX2 for the PlayStation 2;

Wine gaming

Currently, many Windows games can run with minimal problems in a compatibility layer called Wine. The Wine project hosts a user-submitted application database (known as Wine AppDB) that lists programs and games along with ratings and reviews which detail how well they run with Wine. Some games which are rated as running flawlessly include Guild Wars, Supreme Commander, Half Life 2, Counter-Strike Source, Left 4 Dead, Silkroad Online, Spore 1.x, StarCraft II, WarCraft III, The Sims 3, Star Trek: Voyager - Elite Force, Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project, and World of Warcraft. There are also many other games that can be run with varying degrees of success. The use of Wine for gaming has proved controversial in the Linux community as some feel it is preventing, or at least hindering, the further growth of native gaming on the platform.^{[38] [39] [40]}
