Finding games via the repositories
The games mentioned above are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Linux gaming.
The Raspbian repositories include a ton of packages, and there are a few commands you
should know in order to search through it.
The
apt-cache search keyword
command will search the repos for the keyword
you specify, and display a list of results in the command terminal. For example:
apt-
cache search game
will display pages of results. You can then whittle down the res-
ults by specifying multiple keywords. Let's say we want to find a Pac-Man clone:
apt-
cache search pacman
will return a list of games that include Pac-Man in the descrip-
tion. The
apt-cache search pacman console
command will further refine the
search and will return one result that matches your query,
pacman4consol e
.
