Return to Castle Wolfenstein
You battle with the Allies to destroy the Third Reich in Return to Castle Wolfenstein, which mixes
World War II action with creatures conjured up by Nazi scientists. It??™s based on the Quake III
Arena engine and offers single-player mode as well as team-based multiplayer mode.
If you purchase Return to Castle Wolfenstein for Linux, you actually get the Windows version
with an extra Linux installer. If you already have the Windows version, you can download the
Linux installer and follow some instructions to get it going. I downloaded the installer called
wolf-linux-1.31.x86.run from www.idsoftware.com/games/wolfenstein/rtcw/
index.php?game_section=updates. The INSTALL file (in /usr/local/games/wolfenstein)
describes which files you need to copy from the Windows CD.
To get a demo of Return to Castle Wolfenstein, go to www.idsoftware.com/games/wolfenstein/
rtcw/index.php?game_section=overview. Both single-player and multiplayer demos are
available.
You need an NVIDIA card to run Return to Castle Wolfenstein.
