Trying to remember the names of really old computer games?

Q. This is a really long shot, but I'm trying to remember the names of a couple computer games I used to play. One of them must have been around 1990, and it was this sort of maze, and you were a little truck and you pushed blocks around. Does this ring any bells for anybody? I believe it ran on a very old version of Windows.

The second game is a Linux game. You were this little guy and you had to climb up and down ladders, trying to get all the diamonds, which were points. You had a bunch of other little guys who were chasing you -- it was sort of like Pac-man. I remember at the end, you climbed up a tall ladder to the top of the screen to advance to the next level..

I played these so long ago that that's all I can remember about them, but I've been straining for weeks trying to remember their names. Anybody have any idea?

A. Nope. But don't worry about it. One day when your doing something, it'll randomly come into your head. Works every time.

I want to host an online Poker Game, and i want to sell usernames and passwords where customers can buy them?
Q. Hey, I want to host an online poker game where I can control from my computer or online administration, the game should be real money game but each user will have his own prepaid username and password, I want to host the game using a VPS hosting, where can I find a good game other than PokerMavens that can do the same, preferably Linux-Game...I'm willing to pay good price for the good game

Does every game on linux work on every distro?
Q. I wanted to try out Linux. I wanted to either get Fedora or Ubuntu (Mostly Fedora). So I'm a PC gamer, and I wanted to try out the Steam on Linux so my question is:
Most of the games on Steam say that they require one of the three distros Ubuntu, Fedora, and Mint.
Some other games say they only require one (usually Ubuntu) which sort of makes me think that means thats the only one that it will work on. So if it list just one of the distro does that really mean it can't at all run on any other Distro?
By the way the Linux game I'm looking at is Serious Sam 3, which is one of those games that say they only require ubuntu.

A. It depends on how it's packaged.

A game developer that just releases a .deb with Ubuntu in mind just hung Fedora and SUSE users out to dry because they use .rpm packages. Of course if the source code is available one could always compile the game manually, but that doesn't mean that every "Linux program" works on every distribution by default, as they obviously don't.

Steam for Linux is still in Beta, so things are still up in air, as you've noticed with the varying system requirements; it often seems that Valve is really targetting the Ubuntu and Ubuntu-derivative segment because it thinks that's where the biggest user-base is, but I'm sure Fedora and the other rpm distros won't be completely ignored.
