FOM , hi , I'm wondering if you ever tried out Smoking Guns. I've been all over the place and found a lot of old references to this game and tried different things , ie . - installed ioquake3 and several other associated apps, files etc. but haven't managed to get everything I need . I 'm not sure but I think I was able to get these 2 files ( pak1.pk3 ) but don't know how to integrate them with ioquake 3 or quake 3 both of which show installed in synaptic - I just don't know how to install pak1. and pk3 . When I open quake 3 from my menu it gives this-
Use game-data-packager to build and install the quake3-data package.
You will need these two files:
--------------- baseq3/pak0.pk3
From a Quake III Arena CD-ROM or installation

--------------- linuxq3apoint-1.32b-3.x86.run
From any mirror of ftp.idsoftware.com, Gentoo or FreeBSD: for instance try

in a window - I think the pak1. and pk3 files I have would satisfy quake 3 - but I'm not sure . Can you shed any light on this for me ? I'm not sure if these apps are still being used .
thanks a lot

I found this source for Linux games. What do you think?

I'm tempted to try this one. Is this wise on my system? I didn't find any system requirements, though on their forum a few people spoke of using old Dell xp machines and even windows 98.

Wow rokytnji! I thank you mightily for a thorough and comprehensive answer. I did as suggested and VOILA, mspacman came alive and I became immersed in play. I'll be checking out other games soon.
Thank you again.
Jerry :)

Hey, rokytnji. I've used dosbox for other stuff, but never vintage games. Many thanks for the links!
I installed Digger this afternoon and it runs just fine on my Gateway LT40 notebook with an Atom N2600 processor. I put the mount ~/dosprogs and c: commands in the dosbox configuration file (at the bottom) and changed the defaults so it would run with a larger (2x) window than the default. I then created a desktop file that executes "dosbox -c digger" so I can run from the menu.
I'll be adding Ms Pacman PC later this evening. Appreciate your information.
Cheers,
Andy N1KSN
