2240 GTulpas games 103 GTulpas Nice looking and fast but hard to get the "feel" for potting balls. Needs a power-meter when you shoot and some help-lines to get you going. 2000-03-17 06:56:37 0
2241 Worldforge games 2391 Worldforge This is a brilliant new idea. i am loking forward to playing it 2000-03-17 09:24:31 0
2242 bomb! games -1 bomb! I feel that this game is okay but I don't think it's in the fivestar rating 2000-03-17 13:23:17 0
2243 Core Wars games -1 Core Wars this game should have a little more stuff to do but because it sucks yes you heard me it sucks I will stop waisting my time 2000-03-17 13:26:32 0
2244 Liquid War games 3364 Liquid War This is simple but yet extremely fun and addictive game. It might seem a complex idea on the outside but you dont really need to understand it to play it. If it had networking support I would give it a full 5. (But dont worry: Splitscreen is still fun) 2000-03-17 15:38:44 0
2245 Xpuyopuyo games 1858 Xpuyopuyo Cute game. I couldn't see myself playing it every day, but it's cute and very well executed. <P> I wish there were a config file where we could specify where the executable goes. Hacking autoconfed Makefils is confusing to me. I'd prefer /usr/local/games to /usr/local/bin. <P> This game will definitely improve with some nice sound effects and music. 2000-03-17 17:19:57 0
2246 Core Wars games -1 Core Wars Hello? Core Wars isn't a game, it's a programming simulation. Sim-u-lay-shun. It's not gonna be fun unless you happen to -like- coding in assembler. 2000-03-17 17:30:37 0
2247 Pong 3D games 1858 Pong 3D Definitely a work in progress, but oddly enough, this has *potential*! (Is the background what I think it is? Right on!) <P> Some various comments:<BR> 1-kudos on 3dfx! Linux needs more 3dfx games. But some of the code is sloppy. For instance, the initializations for some arrays are larger than the array size. How is it this game doesn't segfault?!?<BR> 2- It would be nice to let the *user* define what right/left is, rather than forcing A/Z or O/P on us.<BR> 3- Kudos on the code to simulate putting English on the ball. Great job on that! But it seems like the ball doesn't really get any faster - you can conceivably play this game till you pass out from dehydration. The action is sluggish. After a few volleys, the ball needs to speed up.<BR> <P> Changing the angle of the screen is brilliantly done. This game definitely has some potential. Groovy sound/music and letting game play become more difficult with time would greatly enhance this game. 2000-03-17 17:38:34 0
2248 Pong 3D games 1858 Pong 3D Ach. Sorry to do this. One last suggestion. The author really should put a -v or --version command line option so I can compare what my current version to possible future releases. 2000-03-17 17:41:31 0
2249 Missile Command games 1858 Missile Command Can't get this puppy to run. <P> Make install is broken (at least on my suse 6.2 system). install has no -C option. I have install 3.16. <P> The program keeps complaining about 'ERROR: unable to read images'. What's the deal? I ran strace and don't understand which file it can't find. It seems to find them fine: <PRE> open("/usr/local/games/share/missile/smartbombmask.11x11.png", O_RDONLY) = 7 </PRE> and it later reads from this file. I wish the author put more more verbose error messages in. <P> I have the feeling this will be a cool game though. :-( 2000-03-17 17:58:51 0
