This video shows off the first ever Elder Scrolls game on linux using dosbox : The Elder Scrolls Arena.
The game allready got all of the most important part of the series :
- Huge world to discover
- Highly customizable character
- Immersive gameplay and environement

For instense : in order to use a melee weapon, you have to press down the right mouse button, and move the mouse using 4 different mouse gesture (from right to left, left-right, top to bottom and bottom to top for a piercing forward attack)

By the way, the difficulty is massive. Even the begining is really hard; you'll die severalls time trying to finish the first part of the game.
