Angel Wars Orin Tresnjak Bytopia Software www www SourceForge project page www SDL / SDL_mixer homepage 0.24 A fast-paced side-scrolling "space shooter" with an unusual premise. Angel Wars is a side-scrolling shooter in which you play an as-yet-unnamed minion of Satan who has decided to take the universe over for himself. This is an alpha version; there is only one level. The engine itself is almost complete, though, and the level is pretty cool. :) arcade free img on on off off off off 2000-05-30 bobz 2000-05-31 10:43:59 3648 www <ul> <li>SDL</li> <li>SDL_mixer</li> <li>libjpeg</li> <li>libpng</li> </ul> 2000-06-07 22:28:50 on
Angry, Drunken Dwarves Joe Wreschnig www 1.0.1 rock-dropping fun <p>In Angry, Drunken Dwarves, you are an angry, drunken dwarf. Why are you so angry? Who knows. But you've decided to take your aggression out on other dwarves, by dropping gems on their heads. Lots of gems. ADD is a member of the classic "falling blocks" puzzle game family, similar to the Capcom game Puzzle Fighter. The goal of the game is to build large gems by matching up colors, then break them, raining more gems down onto your opponent. The first person whose field fills up, loses. ADD runs on all major operating systems. It has seven playable characters, six levels of AI, secret game modes and characters, and an original soundtrack.</p> puzzle free img on on off off on off 2006-01-15 4 2006-01-16 01:51:27 8569 www Angry, Drunken Dwarves is written in Python and requires Pygame. 0000-00-00 00:00:00 on
AngsTRON Daniel Monteiro www 099 Motorcycle arena dueling game <p>This game is about two motorcycles (sometimes robots) who duel trying to enclose each other in their trails. Its like Armagetron Advanced and glTron, both games inspired in the lightcycles scene from the Movie Tron. <p>There are, actually some differences between Angstron and those games. Angstron is not set in TRON or anything like that, but in its own fictional universe and you have different levels. Its more like glTron meets Mortal Kombat, as you have one-on-one duels on different arenas. <p>The graphics might not look astounding, but its because it uses software rendering. The game is actually meant for mobile linux devices, like the Nokia Internet Tablets, the linux smartphones and the new subnotebooks coming (In fact , there is a Nokia 770 and a EeePC package available) arcade free img on on off off off off 2008-08-01 4 2008-08-02 19:57:42 33613 the game is actually very flexible and requires little memory to run. Specially good for older machines. Requires free 16 MB of RAM to run and ~5 MB of disk, X11 running on 16 BPP and at least 800x600 (runs nativelly on 800x480) 0000-00-00 00:00:00 on
Angstron 2: droid hunter Daniel Battery Powered Games www www post with DOWNLOAD for all supported platforms (mobile and desktop linuxes) 0.99c tactical first person shooter with strong cartoonish atmosphere <p>This game follows the story of Angstron, but is rather a tactical first person shooter. You don't get those fancy protections and 100 HP from other games. You're hit, you're dead. <p>But this game doesn't aim to be impossible to beat. You don't have to aim precisely because the plasma pellet you shoot has a electrical property of disabling (or even destroying) the positronic connections from the robot's CPUs. That way you can destroy them not having to aim bullseye. In fact, it takes aprox. 15 minutes to be beaten. <p>This game was made with mobile devices in mind (and that bullsh*t about electrical properties was something to make it easier to play on those devices) and it doesn't require a high-end mobile device. All its graphics are real-time software-rendered (OpenGL and OpenGL ES ports almost done) and perform quite fast indeed! <ul>Supported devices: <li>EZX mobile phones (tested with Motorola A1200i, A1200e , A1200r and E6) <li>Nokia N770 (N800 and N810 compatible) <li>EeePC 701 2G Surf or superior (was partly developed in it, indeed!) <li>Desktop x86 Linux (tested with Ubuntu 8.04) </ul> action free img on on off off on on 2009-07-29 4 2009-08-27 07:16:02 33613 Supports QTopia (via SDL) too 2010-01-03 14:00:50 on
Animated LILO boot screens Raphaël Quinet www www Help page for installing on non-SuSE distributions Animated boot screens! Make your LILO boot screen more exciting with animated pictures! From the author's web page: <blockquote> Since mid-2001, most Linux distributions include some patched versions of LILO (the LInux LOader) that support VGA or VESA graphical modes and make it possible to have a nice background image while booting. Starting with SuSE Linux 7.2, the SuSE distribution includes an interesting extension to LILO that allows a programmer to define some callback functions that are triggered when some events occur (key pressed, timeout, ...). It gives a much greater flexibility than the other extensions that are provided by most of the other Linux distributions, including the new graphical modes that have recently been added to the official version of LILO 22.x. <p> While testing the SuSE version of LILO and the helper program mkbootmsg, I was wondering if the timer callbacks together with the function that copies parts of the image to the screen could be used for creating animations. I quickly found out that it was indeed possible to enhance the boot screen with animations. Since my friends liked the results, I decided to share them on this web site. ... These animated boot screens have been tested with SuSE Linux 7.2 and 7.3. <b>If you are using another distribution such as Debian, Red Hat, Mandrake or a custom set of packages, you will not get the expected results</b> if you keep the version of LILO included in your distribution. </blockquote> <p> Before you try this, have a boot floppy ready. If something doesn't go as planned, you could RENDER YOUR SYSTEM UNBOOTABLE. You have been warned. toy free img on on off off off off 2002-01-29 bobz 2002-01-29 13:51:19 -1 2002-08-02 23:09:31 off

Ankh 2 Rune-Soft www www Ankh 2 Homepage www Buy Ankh from Tuxgames Adventure in ancient Egypt <p>Osiris is back! And this time he's in no mood for games. <p>This time he will not fail. This time Osiris will show the world of humans what, he's made of. But the Ankh alone is not enough - not as long as he hasn't found the most important part of his body: his heart. <p>Life has not been kind to Assil. Only three weeks ago he managed to ward off his death curse. Since then his relationship (with Thara) has hit the rocks and the Ankh was stolen from him (by sinister assassins). Assil sets out to get it all back - and to once again face Osiris. <p>He is not the only victim, however - there is another: the pharaoh! One moment he sits on his throne, lazy, sluggish and with a heck of a hangover, the next he is a slave in his own quarry - how could this have happened? And more importantly: how is he going to get out of this without getting killed? <p>Ankh: Heart of Osiris is even more intense and more bizarre as it takes the player even deeper into the crazy world of old Cairo. You'll meet a lot of familiar faces, but of course there are plenty of new surprises too! <p>Aside from familiar locations, like the bazaar, there will be plenty of new locations for the player to explore - such as the quarry and the large arena with all its dark, convoluted catacombs. <p>And of course the black humour of the first game can be found in the sequel! Once again, old Egypt and its inhabitants are turned upside down and given a good seeing to. rpg commercial 42$ img off on off on off off 2008-01-06 4 2008-01-09 19:08:45 12444 Linux: 32 bit Linux system; 512MB of memory; 900MB disc space; 1,5GHz or better processor.
