2290 Core Wars games 2642 Core Wars I like a good thinking game, and Core Wars serves that purpose nicely. The documentation is very sparse, which isn't helpful for ppl like me who don't do assembly. But still, it's a neat little game/toy/thing/whatever. ;-) 2000-03-25 19:09:16 0
2291 The LOSER Corps games 3408 The LOSER Corps I rate 5 stars because this is a school example of a basis for a good game. Where most other popular(!) Linux games could be still played in textmode, the support for graphics and sound in LOSER rules. It is the best open source game that I have yet I run into that runs without much trouble (add. libraries and stuff) and consists of useable building blocks (AFAIK, haven't peeked at the code yet). Heck, I think that if I would start writing a 2D game, I'd derive it from this one. Point. OK - so nothing happens in the demoish levels; that is only a matter of time, but when you do multiplayer shoot-em-up, this game should be very nasty already :-) 2000-03-25 20:10:15 0
2292 Core Wars games 3409 Core Wars good point: It's a thinking game, kewl!<br> bad point: Your required to know assembly language before you can start making your own 'warriors'.<br> For programmers, this would make for an awesome game to get away from programming against a deadline... I can't say it'll be good for the rest of us. Nice idea, nice try, but it's a game for a select audiance (hard-core programmers). 2000-03-26 04:27:21 0
2293 FACHODA Complex games 3409 FACHODA Complex Nicely done! Funny airplanes to fulfil missions based on what camp your in. I wish I had a joystick now... 2000-03-26 04:58:34 0
2294 Tux the Penguin - A Quest for Herring games -1 Tux the Penguin - A Great game, runs like a sonofabitch on my AMD K6-2 450 & Voodoo Banshee. Great fun as well, and an impressive engine. Anyone for TuxCart64?? 2000-03-26 19:21:06 0
2295 Liquid War games 2642 Liquid War Whoops... I meant "tap", not "tape". ;-) Me bad englishes. 2000-03-27 01:30:24 0
2296 Doom Legacy games 1396 Doom Legacy Very good! Looks nice on my Voodoo1 board. The only thing that is missing is 360° look around with the mouse. I only can look right and left with the mouse but on the keys i can look up and down, too... 2000-03-27 08:48:06 0
2297 Xbreaky games -1 Xbreaky All together it is a good clone of the classic arkanoid for nintendo, but creativity could have been more present 2000-03-27 16:24:32 0
2298 Core Wars games -1 Core Wars I never wrote anything in assembler before playing Corewars, although I do have some programming experience. The "assembler" is simplified, and it's easy to get up and running. Just look at some of the other "warriors" included with the package, and play around with modifying them until you get it. <B>THIS GAME RULES! </B> 2000-03-27 20:06:36 0
2299 Core Wars games 3414 Core Wars This is a great thinking game, and also makes a great tool for learning basic assembler programming concepts. More fun than I have had with any other Linux game so far! 2000-03-27 20:13:39 0
