do you remember a company that ported some Windows games into Linux in late '90? Many nerds bought that games (I was one of them) ...
Loki Games, indeed I do remember them, and they ported one of my favorite games of all time Tribes 2 to Linux. Back in 2003 when I was using Redhat 9 majority of the time instead of Windows 2000 I wanted to play that game natively in Linux (WINE wasn't that great back then for games) and couldn't find anybody who sold it, until Tux Games made an announcement they received a limited resupply from a warehouse that wanted to get rid of the existing stock of them.
I think I spent $74 USD total on the game and ~$16 of it was for shipping for a game that was going for just $20 at the local CompUSA (remember them?) that was only the Windows version in a jewel disc. Tribes 2 updater for Linux seemed to work much better than the Windows variant except for the very last update that was done by GarageGames, that required a reinstall and manually applying the final update directly for whatever reason. Ah, those were the good old days. Sadly the Linux port of Tribes 2 of course no longer works since the master servers were shutdown in Nov, 2008 and the game is hard coded to only work with the old WON master servers for authentication purposes, and TribesNext is currently Windows only.
