Armagetron - http://www.armagetronad.net/screenshots.php

This is a fun little Tron lightcycle game.  Great fun with 2 players or more.

When I build a horizontal cab (or maybe I'll even go with it on my vertical one), Turbo Sliders will be on it:

Now that it's got a CPU opponent option, it doesn't even need the network option (although that is nice if you can find enough opponents).

Pretty much all of Kenta Cho's games have been ported to Linux. They are very suitable for a Linux cab, and Wah!Cade or whatever you use should easily be able to launch them cleanly.

Start looking at www.happypenguin.org, tons of stuff there.  I also have a few Linux games I'll share once I get my server back up and running.

my own remake based on H.E.R.O. called Cave heroes:


There is a build to Linux as well Windows. I have not compiled the source to Linux by myself (due the sourcecode is included).

Its 100% cabsafe.
