1591 gTans games 577 gTans I was looking for this game for months. It is fully customizable with colors and textures, increasing the size of the window resizes the shapes. The GTK look & feel is fine. Perhaps it lacks a "figure editor" or some progressive levels a la sokoban. Anyway, it deserves 5 stars. 1999-11-08 15:44:11 0

1594 Eric's Ultimate Solitaire games 1876 Eric's Ultimate Soli This is one awesome game. I played it on the Macintosh, and I've always thought it was one of the best solitaire collections out there... Even though PySol is free and has more solitaire variations, I think any solitaire fan should get EUS for Linux. It's got some nifty options, and you'll be helping to promote commercial games for Linux. Great port, Loki! 1999-11-09 01:21:45 0
1595 BumpRace games -1 BumpRace Dan, many thanks for the in-depth critique; it'll serve as a great check-list of things to fix in the game. You noticed a distinct lack of collision detection bugs (the collision detection bugs noted by Janne Moren). These bugs used to exist, but Karl fixed them. I mostly worked on BumpRacer (and the SDL) from the Windows side (My integrated sound card isn't being taken so well by Linux). But to my memory, the last version of BumpRacer I worked with had a "make" that worked perfectly fine... Hmmm... I'll have to take another look at that. My name is Lion, I added the particle effects. I've been moving to Seattle for the past two months, I suspect that I'll have my computer back up here by the beginning of December, so I'll be able to work on these things. (I'm thinking immediately, my first priority will be adding some sort of notification, something, ANYTHING to help with the no sound->crash problem. After that, I'd probably work on the clock...) Hmmm... Wouldn't it be cool if particles of exhaust could kill little wall hugging creatures? Something tells me I'm getting ahead of myself, but it never hurts to speculate. If the make/automake thing *IS* a problem, and it *IS* easy to fix, do you think that perhaps you could do it? I know nothing about it; it could help us out a lot if you would do it. That way, I don't have to learn a whole new system and what not right now. Okay, times a-wasting. Again, many, many thanks for the critique. Lion =^_^= (lion@speakeasy.org) 1999-11-10 00:14:18 0

1598 Mad Bomber games 2630 Mad Bomber This game is great! Asides from the install.. everything works smoothly. Only problem is that it gets addicting after a little while. 1999-11-11 13:50:26 0

1600 XShipWars games -1 XShipWars Was the base engine for this game Skant's 'Hellfighter' engine? The bitmaps look very similiar and it seems more than co-incidental that both Skant and Taura are "Furries" (Trust me, you DON'T want to know what YIFF stands for, either). Anyway, good to see something good came of all Skant's work if it is indeed the Hellfighter engine, or even just the bitmaps. 1999-11-11 20:26:47 0
