Steam's Classic War Pack Now Supports Linux

By -
Titles like Nam, Silent Service, Eradicator and more now support Linux on Steam. Night Dive Studios seem to have done another Linux push on Steam for this to happen.

Night Dive Studios are known on Steam for putting up quite a few games at a time, and they support Linux with their efforts, so we can join in now too! Previously they gave us games like System Shock 2, Sid Meier classics and now for some more!

Games in the Classic War Pack:
- Across The Rhine
- Command H.Q.
- Eradicator
- Nam
- Silent Service
- Silent Service 2
- Task Force 1942: Surface Naval Action in the South Pacific

Looks like a bit of a wet dream for retro war game fans, but they look a little too retro for my tastes. Here's a taste of what you can expect:

You can check out the Classic War Pack on Steam now. It's 25% off right now too, so for all the games together you can grab them for £17.24. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Just a small thing, integrating YouTube makes Google install their tracking cookies on here. If its possible, maybe add a link instead?

Wouldn't it be easier for you to use Ghostery + noscript to control what happens over such things? Im just curious.

Pleasure to help man, although the company I work for has an entry on there, I have to enable just that one site so I can do my job (you know, like actually access internal sites haha).

Glad to have helped :)

Not to break your bubble, but ironically Ghostery also tracks you. It sends info every time you visit a website over to their servers, fyi.

bubble truly burst...

Suppose you can use ghostery and then add ghostery phone home to /etc/hosts "localhost".

Not like I wrote it, just seems easier changing your client then the internet over such things.
