OK. I went to that site. I found

-------  19 (nineteen) -----------------
entries.

In those nineteen I found popular "games" like "Wine", the
windows emulator. Obviously running wine allows you to run
more games...

Another entry was an Open GL develomment system, and news like
PC Vendors push for open source device drivers.

Great. True there were a few games in that list (maybe 10).
I did not look at the quality, whatever.

I followed the link to "half life". Last entry in the news page
was from Feb 12th 2003. Five years ago. Most of the links in the
page would not work.

Other links in the "hosted" tab either would not work or
lead to game companies that proposed as minimum requirement
windows XP.

Some links lead not to games but to game development systems,
and in all of them there wasn't something really new...
"XRally" (a car game) had a NEWS section. The last entry
was from 2001.

The only games I found (after some effort) were

"Secret Maryo chronicles" a two dimensional sprite game.
Globulation (strategy)
Dungeons and dragons (text based, no graphics)

and some others.

Like many linux stuff, when you try to really see what is behind those
links, you discover that most of the game developers will not give
their software for free, and that there is no market for games under
linux since neither the people responsible for creating the conditions,
nor linux users have any interest in games.
