Have you tried Planeshift? It works in Puppy if you have drivers for your graphics card installed, and maybe SDL. It's only version 0.3.17, so not a lot is implemented, but it looks pretty cool so far, especially when your graphics aren't being glitchy and the weather decides to snow.

There is a text-only version of BYOND that runs in Linux. If you try playing a graphical game, the tiles show up as letters, so depending on the game you might still be able to run around or do mindless leveling.

Battle for Wesnoth runs in Puppy. I haven't tried going online with it but it should work.

If all else fails, you can play RuneScape if you have Java installed.

And that's about as far as my online gaming knowledge goes.

It's a turn-based medieval strategy game with Windows and Linux versions (maybe Mac too).

Tibia looks interesting, maybe I'll take a swing at getting it running. My schedule isn't very predictable right now though.

Okay, I figured I'd start with the dotpup here:

It still didn't work with the tk package installed. Starting from the commandline it said:

Well, still trying to get the New Tibia working....

This is the new error

"X Error: GLXUnsupportedPrivateRequest
Request Major code 142 (GLX)
Request Minor code 16 ( )
Error Serial #175

Confused

Looks like graphics issues. Do you have DRI installed for your graphics card? I thought I saw that as a requirement when I scanned the site yesterday. MU's 3DCC is the app to use unless you have nVidia. I'll try the new one tonight.

The different versions are for if Puppy only included libc 5 or 6. It has both, so either should work. At least as far as libc is concerned. Rolling Eyes

With my graphics card stuff installed and opengl support, the login screen pops up fine with the libc-6 version. I don't have an account, so I don't know if it continues to work. I'll reboot later and try it without the graphics stuff to verify if that's the problem.

I updated the 3DCC now (210 and 212), it should report more reliable now if DRI is active or not.
Accelleration for Trident cards are not supported by Kernel 2.6 it seems.

you could try Puppy 1.08 or 1.09 CE.
It uses Kernel 2.4.
I think there was posted a Trident driver once, but I don't remember if it worked - at least there was some trouble.
You might search the forum first.

I still use Puppy 108 to play Doom4, as my Ati-drivers crash in Puppy 2.x with this game.

But 8 MB video-memory are usually not sufficient for 3D-accelleration anyway.

If possible, buy a Nvidia-card, they are the best solution for Puppy-gamers, even some cheap old ones.
