Games on Linux

Since I switched to Linux a few years ago, I haven’t played many games except for planetpenguin racer, supertux, supertuxkart and gnome games. Even back when I used windows, the only games I used to play were some racing games including my all time favorite game Monaco GrandPrix Racing Simulation 2 by UbiSoft which is undoubtedly the best car racing game ever. UbiSoft used to be great back then. Just over a week  ago, I tried Eternal Lands using the ArchLinux aur package. It was pretty fun since I’ve never played a mmorpg game before. The graphics were fast and the game was a bit addicting and easy to play. But the fun ended fast since they released a new version and wouldn’t let anyone using the old client log in to the game. I downloaded the updated client. But it wouldn’t run on my computer (a AMD sempron 2300+ with 1GB ram and a nvidia 7300 gt card). The game would immediately crash once I launch it. I downloaded the client source from cvs and compiled it because I assumed this would solve the problem but I got the same crash. I don’t really care much about games so this didn’t annoy me but if anyone has a solution, I would surely be interested in knowing it
