This is a follow up thread as I saw some posts regarding games being used on Linux such as ports from Loki.
Was it a rarity to get say, DOOM on a Linux compatible disk? Surely the floppy disk version would’ve worked as normal no?
There was also DosEmu which seems like an ancestor to DOSBOX to play all your face dos games in a redhat or Slackware box.
I understand that getting things to work in order was a mess, but was it that difficult to find a Linux compatible game CD or floppy disk? Was there some form of piracy to acquire a converted windows copy on a BBS?
TLDR : I just wanna know if 90s linux gaming there for you guys since firms like Loki existed, hell there was a port of Quake on the funni penguin OS.
Ya there is prboom which is installable on Linux. Also dosbox was a thing for playing dos games on Linux
