We got a little "gaming night" coming up on Thursday and we got a mix of system running pretty much a different OS on all of them (XP, Vista, 7, 8, Debian, Arch, Ubuntu)

Looking for a few games we could play on Lan, nothing too complicated, something to have some fun on, multiplayer would be good or maybe something that can be used for a little competition, preferably no browser games but not totaly ruled out if there are actually good ones.

Open to suggestions, hardware is nothing amazing so keep it simple Smile

Saner is not being serious. Unless its the subject of Santa!

Very unlikely that all people would have Steam accounts with the same game, we did try CS:S on one of the machines today but it wasn't exactly playable even on low settings Razz

The original seems to actually have a port for Linux, the second one does not though.
Will keep it in mind.

Few games worth noting so far: Scorched 3D and Warsow, played both in the past at some point.

With a quick google it seems to be pretty unreliable whetever it works or not, would have been a frickin awesome game for the purpose though if it works properly!
