Im not a hardcore gamer myself, but I've seen people use Unreal Tournament, Quake III and Counterstrike on bsd. I think some of the games may even be found in the ports tree. I suppose this is just the servers for the games, since providing the full versions of the games in ports surely would break a lot of licenses. -- R Gavin Kenny wrote: > Hi everyone, > > well it must be Christmas.
