"Linux Bible, 2008 Edition: Boot up to Ubuntu, Fedora, KNOPPIX, Debian, openSUSE, and 11 Other Distributions"

The Open Sound
home page (www.opensound.com/osshw.html) has a list of supported sound cards,
mostly older devices. If you do not have a card that??™s on the list, you may be unable to enjoy the
audio.
The CCP demo comes with an excellent tutorial to start you out. If you have never played a
civilization game before, the tutorial is a great way to start. Figure 23-7 shows an example scene
from the Civilization: Call to Power for Linux demo.

Civilization: Call to Power features excellent graphics and network play.

Myth II: Soulblighter
If you like knights and dwarves and storming castles, Myth II: Soulblighter for Linux might be for
you. In Myth II, you are given a mission and some troops with various skills. From there, you need
strategy and the desire to shed lots of virtual blood to meet your goal.
Myth II was created by Bungie Software (www.bungie.com) and ported to Linux by Loki
Entertainment Software (www.lokigames.com). The Loki port of the popular Myth game includes
improved graphics and new scenarios. A demo version is available that runs well in most distributions
(particularly Fedora/Red Hat). You can get it via the Demo Launcher described earlier. You
need at least a modest Pentium 133 MHz, 32MB RAM, 80MB swap space, and 100MB of free disk
space.
