I am trying to keep what games I do play as web or Internet based. I only play them on study breaks or when I am stressed out and need to blow off some steam.

Mechastrike is a web based Mech game. I should be able to play it with Mozilla on Linux. To sign up for the game click here:

It has the occasional pop-up which Mozilla blocks, except for one to imbum.com some sort of personals for IM users.

Tradewars is another game I can play. [link|http://www.eisonline.com/|http://www.eisonline.com/] as it uses Telnet. In order to play better, one needs scripts or a TW Helper program. J-TWAT is based on Java and should run on Linux. [link|http://sourceforge.net/projects/j-twat|http://sourceforge.net/projects/j-twat] SWATH I registered but it won't run under WINE as of version 1.66 but 1.67 is being re-written to run under WINE. [link|http://www.swath.net/|http://www.swath.net/] ATTAC I alse use and registered, buggy but it works, no Linux version yet. [link|http://www.tw-attac.com/|http://www.tw-attac.com/] TWXProxy is the best one, but no Linux port and it does not run under WINE. [link|http://www.twxproxy.com/|http://www.twxproxy.com/] There are a ton of REXX scripts out there, so a Linux telnet terminal with REXX support can have the scripts modified to run under it.

Other games I might run, The Sims, Civilization III, Monopoly 2, Sim City 3000, etc. I am not running them yet and I will have an XP workstation or laptop to run them on if needed. Hence the need for Windows still. I also have to do development in ASP, VB, Access, etc to keep my skills up to date in case I need them for a job.
