History

Portal Games for Linux was founded in the year 2001 by Juraj Michalek from Slovakia. There were only small number of games for Linux spreaded over Internet. When someone wants to play these games he had to download all libraries and recomplie game. It was hard to download and racompile game because a lot of web-links were broken and source files were sometimes inaccessible. So running games required a lot of effort. The basic idea of the portal Games for Linux was to collect game's tarballs and all libraries required by games and put them in to one place. The second idea of this portal was - provide porting skills to Linux newbies and help them to port their games from Dos, Windows or other OS to Linux (and also backward to Windows).

A lot of work has been done. :-) Now you can enjoy Linux games. In future we are planning to build rpm and other binary packages to each game. Games are now available only in source tarball.
