[217mafia-gaming] Game suggestions

[dan blah]

Yummm... this is a good start of a list.  We really should try and
create a good list of games we can *all* stand to play and that are
cross platform (I know some of you are going to bitch... Doug you
aren't allowed to reply if you are going to bitch ;).  Really though,
there are at least 3 or 4 who are using Macs/OS X, 2 who are using
Linux, and then everyone else is using Windows XP/Vista.  Not everyone
is able for various reasons to dual boot either.

With keeping multiple platforms in mind when posting suggestions for
the LAN party game list lets try and do something like:
-=MMORPG=-
EVE - lwm (linux, windows, mac, c-linux and mac support with with crossover)
Project Entropia - w
WOW - wc

-=RPG=-
Hellgate: London - w

-=FPS=-
HL2 Deathmatch - wc
CS - wc
Team Fortress 2 - wc
Unreal Tournament - wc
Armagetron-ad - lwm

-=RTS=-
Starcraft - w
Age of Empires/Age of Kings - wc

You can search the crossover support database at
http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/search.  I will set up space
for us on 217mafia.com so we can document what we are playing and have
a place to post news and shit we want visible to the public.

Again, if you know of others who would want to be part of this have
them visit http://lists.chambana.net/cgi-bin/listinfo/217mafia-gaming
to sign up to this list.
