A website called The Linux Game Tome began to catalogue games created for or ported to Linux in 1995.
In 1998, two programmers from Origin ported Ultima Online to Linux. Other early commercial Linux games included Hopkins FBI, an adventure game released in 1998 by MP Entertainment, and Inner Worlds in 1996, which was released for and developed on Linux.

In 1991 DUX Software contracted Don Hopkins to port SimCity to Unix, which he later ported to Linux and eventually released as open source for the OLPC XO Laptop. Later id products continued to be ported by Zoid Kirsch and Timothee Besset, a practice that continued until the studio's acquisition by ZeniMax Media in 2009. Their game Quake was ported to Linux in 1996, once again by Dave D. Id Software, the original developers of Doom, also continued to release their products for Linux. Ancient Domains of Mystery was also released for Linux in 1994 by Thomas Biskup, building on the roguelike legacy of games such as Moria and its descendent Angband, but more specifically Hack and NetHack. From there he would also help found the development studio Crack dot Com, which released the video game Abuse, with the game's Linux port even being published by Linux vendor Red Hat. Taylor ported the game Doom to Linux, as well as many other systems, during his spare time. The beginning of Linux as a gaming platform for commercial video games is widely credited to have begun in 1994 when Dave D. 1994–1997 ĭoom was one of the first major commercial games to be released for Linux.

As the operating system itself grew and expanded, the amount of free and open-source games also increased in scale and complexity, with both clones of historically popular titles beginning with BZFlag, LinCity, and FreeCiv as well as original creations such as Rocks'n'Diamonds and Tux Racer. Popular early titles included Netrek and the various XAsteroids, XBattle, XBill, XBoing, X-Bomber, XConq, XDigger, XEmeraldia, XEvil, XGalaga, XGammon, XLander, XLife, XMahjong, XMine, XSoldier, XPilot, XRobots, XRubiks, XShogi, XScavenger, XTris, XTron, XTic and XTux games using the X Window System. The free software and open source methodologies which spawned the development of the operating system in general also spawned the creation of various early free games. A notable example of this are the " BSD Games", a collection of interactive fiction and other text-mode titles. These games were mostly either arcade and parlour type games or text adventures using libraries like curses. Linux gaming started largely as an extension of the already present Unix gaming scene, with both systems sharing many similar titles.
