    hi!
    Kubuntu doesnt ship with games because there isnt enough room on the CD (Xubuntu/Ubuntu can because GNOME/XFCE are much smaller)
    you can get a bunch of linux games on a cd from Microcenter in Ohio, dont know if they carry that were you live but you can order them by internet (which on second thought brings us back where we started :) ) 


    (URL for microcenter: http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0221647 )


    do you know anyone who uses linux? they might download some game binaries and put them on a CD/USB drive for you. a Local Linux Group might be a good place to start or even you Ubuntu LoCo team (local groups URL: http://www.linux.org/groups/ ) (Ubuntu LoCo teams URL: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamList )


    good luck!

    I realize most people have World Wide Web access, I believe there's a difference between Web and Internet access though (you can have Internet without the Web,i.e. E-Mail account only as in my case, Emypeople.com). I usually go to our local library for Web access, I tried to be specific in my question, I wish I could explain it better sorry.  : ) 

  I'm sorry I haven't been watching the whole message thread, but this pc you're using is it a desktop or a laptop?  If it's a laptop you can alway take it somewhere where you can get internet access, such as a coffee shop, truck stop, whatever...  You can go to www.jiwire.com and they have a WiFi database there that you can search and find WiFi hotspots in your area.  I live in Montgomery AL and I went there and it listed 43 WiFi hotspots that were within 10 miles of my zip code.  Some were free and some you had to pay for access.  The pay sites usually aren't that expensive, I know at truck stops it's generally around $5.00 for 24 hours of access.

  Though if it's a desktop pc you have Kubuntu on, then I guess I just wasted your and my time...  ;-)
