Games to play on the Raspberry Pi $35 Model B Mini PC?

[froggyboy604]

I tried Quake 3, and OpenArena which are both first person shooters which can be played on the Raspberry Pi.

I also read that there is a Pi version of Minecraft available at http://pi.minecraft.net

There are also 39 games available to download for free, or buy in the Pi's App download store at http://store.raspberrypi.com/projects?category=games for Rasbian which is the Pi's official operating system.

What games have you tried on the Raspberry Pi $35 Model B Mini PC?

This is a really neat idea. And, very ironic how Minecraft would run on a Pi, when it won't even load on my Windows OS for lack of OpenGL. :/

The Pi version is most probably a lite version with less features.

You can download opengl here: http://www.opengl.org/wiki/Getting_started#Windows

I read recently on a blog that the Raspberry Pi released open source hardware accelerated video drivers, and Quake 3 runs faster because of video hardware accelerated drivers, and other updates added to the Rasbian operating system.

I expect soon there would be more 3D games like Quake 3 being ported or released to the Pi.
