Amazon's surprising number of Linux games

[dashcloud]

After the link to Loki Software's games on Amazon got posted, I decided to search the Video Game category for Linux. Quite to my shock, a lot of results showed up besides the Loki & LGP results- it looks like a lot of them are mislabeled, but that brings up the even stranger question of: Why?

Mislabeled in what way? Wine enabled games counted as Linux? Or the binary-override ones?

Sometimes I see that on a variety of products, like hard drives, some discs, even ethernet cables!

The funniest one was the Sid Meier's Alpha Cenaturi for over $200.

:O ... a game costing more than a graphics card... now that gotta suck :P

[curaga]

a game costing more than a graphics card...I buy my graphics cards for 15e or less, thus most games are more expensive than graphics cards ;)

[Dragonlord]

Let's say a "decent" graphic card... not this cheap crap sellers toss at you ;)

That game must be so advanced that it plays itself! No human interaction required! :D
