Heretic II
Based on the Quake engine, Heretic II sets you on a path to rid the world of a deadly, magical
plague. As the main character, Corvus, you explore dungeons, swamps, and cities to uncover and
stop the plague. The graphics are rich, and the game play is quite engaging.
You will experience some crashing problems with Heretic II out-of-the-box. Be sure to check for the
update to Heretic II at www.updates.lokigames.com, which should fix most of the problems.

Gaming with Linux 23
Neverwinter Nights
BioWare (www.bioware.com) dipped its foot into Linux gaming waters with a Linux client for its
wildly popular Neverwinter Nights game. Neverwinter Nights is a classic role-playing game in the
swords-and-sorcery mold. You can develop your character and go adventuring, or play online with
others via a LAN or over the Internet. You can even build your own worlds and host adventures as
the Dungeon Master. Neverwinter Nights is licensed by Wizards of the Coast to use Dungeons &
Dragons rules and material.
Of course, to use the Neverwinter Nights Linux client, you must purchase the game from BioWare.
