1167 ClanBomber games -1 ClanBomber These are plans for Version 2.0 (from May 16) Version 2.0: -Network: -Capture the flag (scrolling like in pacman, virtual resolutions in ClanLib??) -Deathmatch -...ekauq -You have your own bomber with all results you ever played and you can view your statistics, take it your to your friends on a disk... -You can make your own skins, these will be transferred over network -Lobby for establishing games over the internet BTW: I added hw support for matrox to ClanLib, I played it with 724fps on a G400 and with 160fps on a Mystique with a P233 MMX. 1999-08-06 20:11:54 0
1168 Columns games 1918 Columns A cute game, well implemented. Some background music would help. In response to the last poster, there is a reason there are 16 tetris games. Tetris is easy/fun to program, so it makes a good game to learn programming on linux. I am also currently working on a tetris game. After that you can expect a few more useless clone type games. But I have some good ideas, I just need to get my Linux game programming skills to the point that it will be an awesome game, and not a 1/2 implemented nightmare. 1999-08-06 21:11:23 0

1170 Myth II: Soulblighter demo games 1876 Myth II: Soulblighte I spent 7 hours downloading this thing, but it was worth every second. The graphics are great, considering they are software rendered, and aside from a couple of very minor bugs (i.e. no subtitles, which sucks on a system without sound), everything is super. Five stars, and another round of applause for Loki. :-) 1999-08-07 11:41:26 0
1171 Civilization: Call To Power games 1876 Civilization: Call T An all-round good game, although there are some things that keep it from getting five stars in my book. Mainly, the hideous slow-downs as the game progresses, and some minor interface problems. Other than that, though, CTP is gonna be on my hard drive for a long time. ;-) 1999-08-07 11:45:25 0
1172 Quake 3 Arena games 1876 Quake 3 Arena I liked Quake and Quake 2. I never bought 'em, but I liked 'em. :-) Quake 3 Arena has nice graphics, but I can't rate it on gameplay, or much of anything else. Why? Because this thing runs like I'm using a 286! It takes ten minutes to navigate the main menu, and the actual game plays at around 0.00000005 frames per second. It doesn't matter if I use the highest video settings, or the lowest. That's just NOT acceptable on a 350mHz K6-2, with 128 MB of RAM, and a 16MB Banshee card. I know it's a pre-pre-pre-alpha release, but there's no excuse for such lousy performance. Unoptimized code or not, it should be at least a little bit playable. All that saves Q3Test from a one-star rating is the fact that, if you get far enough to see them, the in-game graphics look nice... That, and Q3Test does promise to be lots of fun someday. 2000-03-17 16:16:08 0
1173 Quake games 1876 Quake Even today, as Quake 3 is in the works, the original stands up well. I'd give it that extra star if they'd stop trying to make a buck off of this version, and let us have it (and full custom-level-usage capabilities) for free. Come on! Nobody's gonna buy Quake today, they'll get Quake 2 or wait for Quake 3 Arena. :-) 1999-08-07 12:28:17 0
1174 Orbit games 1161 Orbit Very nice visuals! It's fast enough on my machine even without a graphics accelerator. I like the ability to add new missions and shapes. 1999-08-07 14:41:57 0
1175 Orbit games 473 Orbit Pretty good. Graphics are nice, but flicker a lot on my Voodoo Banshee. Add sound and a little "user-friendly-ness" and I'd add another star. :) 1999-08-07 17:41:09 0
1176 BattleBall games 473 BattleBall Nice game! 1999-08-07 22:10:45 0
