Here is a list of games that work on the Raspberry Pi, for everyone to read.. NOW IN FANTASTIC COLOUR!
/|\
/\
(Please Note: pistore games will now have to be outsourced from somewhere in order for them to be played. If you know where any can be found, please leave a reply. Thanks!)
PREFIXES:
If the game has a *apt-get* after it, that means that it can be installed using "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install GAMENAME", replacing GAMENAME with the name of the game. The name can be found with an 'apt-cache search GAMENAME' search, using keywords, in case the package's name differs slightly from the game's name. For example, for 'Flight of the Amazon Queen', you could try 'apt-cache search flight of the amazon queen', although some games may require something a bit more less wordy
. Or use a search engine like DuckDuckGo (I'm not advertising, it's just my preference . Plus, it looks pretty awesome with the terminal theme)If the game has *pistore*after it, it could at one time be downloaded/played through the PiStore, but the Pistore is now gone!.
If the game has *other* after it, a suitable link will be provided in brackets)
If the game has *PAY* after it, it means that you have to pay to buy it. If available, a price will follow in brackets.
This list needs to be CONSTANTLY UPDATED! Post more stuff, guys! I cannot keep track of everything that goes on around here!
