The thing is, I've been playing Lord of Ultima in Linux for about 18 months. You see, it is a browser-based game. It is operating-system independent and it works in any browser on any operating system - Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. There's nothing to download, except perhaps, a hyperlink to the website. But you can bookmark the site and go there with one click anyway. What is there to install? Lord of Ultima isn't news and hasn't been written for Linux. It's for anyone with a browser and always has been.
There are lots of web browser-based games and a search at Google will turn up plenty of great ones you can play in Linux. There are also lots of games in the Chrome Web Store. Just start the Chrome browser, click a new tab and click Chrome Web Store. Not everything runs in Chrome on Linux, but a lot of them do.
Want to play Angry Birds? It's free in the Chrome Web Store...
Want to play golf? It's free in the Chrome Web Store...
There are too many games to mention and many work fine in Chrome in Linux (as they do in Windows and Mac OS X). The web browser is now so powerful it is a game platform that works anywhere on anything. Forget about downloading and trying to get software to run on Linux, just fire up your web browser and play some games. Remember, hit F11 to go full screen for the best experience.
