    This is the first place I found to buy Linux games at at decent price and download them online. I did find tuxgames but they are pricey. They only have 3 games that i could find but thats better then nothing. I will keep a tab to see when they add more Ill post it here. I bought the first episode of penny arcade.

    Eschelon Book 1 looks really fun. I might get that one, but it would suck if it turns out to be an unfinished dead-end series.

    EDIT: Did I say "run"? I meant "fun". :rolleyes:

    Yes, I have yet to come a freeware game that I really enjoy. So far the first series of Penny is very entertaining, reminds me of the Mario RPG that was made for the SNES a long time ago. That was my favorite RPG of all time. I am enjoying this game just past the first level. I am excited to see whats for the second part. the graphics are nice too!
