2692 PySol games -1 PySol Execellent! Thank you for precompiling the game. 2000-08-04 13:48:24 0
2693 Unreal Tournament games 2642 Unreal Tournament This patch is incredible. Finally, music, and no patches. My only gripe is that the OpenGL part doesn't work with the Banshee -- it makes use of that piece of hardware the Banshee lacks (the same one that keeps SoF from working, and causes problems in Q3). This causes all the text labels in the game to be messed up, and various lighting and scenic parts of the maps get dorked up and slow the game down to 0.0001 fps. At any rate, the Glide stuff works better now, so... five stars. :) 2000-08-05 10:47:43 0
2694 Unreal Tournament games 2642 Unreal Tournament err -- "no patches" is supposed to be "no crashes" lol... sigh 2000-08-05 10:53:49 0
2695 Adonthell games -1 Adonthell This game is probably the best Linux RPG there is, I can't wait for a new release of it, all I can say is SWEET ARSE! 2000-08-05 13:59:21 0
2696 Tux Racer games 793 Tux Racer It's simple yet fun, I'm impressed at how professional the graphics were done. I'd like to see a course editor too! :) There were a few problems with pointer control warping, making resizing impossable and the frame rate was not very good for the level of detail. I think glut slowed it down too much. Overall it's a good show off game for Linux! 2000-08-05 21:41:18 0
2697 XRally games 3821 XRally I enjoyed the game, although it didn't hold my interest very long. The game runs a bit fast on my AMD 700, making the car difficult to control. The graphics aren't bad, its a small download (407k), and it is entertaining. 2000-08-06 13:48:01 0
2698 Tenes Empanadas Graciela games 3821 Tenes Empanadas Grac I was looking forward to playing this RISK clone, but was quickly disappointed with it. The game has a clumsy, non-intuitive user interface, and crashes frequently. I tested version 0.4.0a, and I suggest that you do not waste your time downloading this. Perhaps the game will become more stable in the future. 2000-08-06 14:39:19 0
2699 A Steroid games -1 A Steroid Re-iterating the previous poster: There's no makefiles, no hint as to how to compile this mess. It doesn't compile well at all. Forget it. 2000-08-06 15:05:44 0
2700 A Steroid games 3936 A Steroid No compilation instructions, no makefiles, little or no hope of getting this to compile well at all under Linux.<P> Until they get their act together, this can't be worth the effort. 2000-08-06 15:08:22 0
2701 Unreal Tournament games -1 Unreal Tournament I think you should update your info. The OpenGL renderer now works fine. I can run it in X 3.3.6 and 4.0.1 with banshee using Mesa. 2000-08-07 02:35:43 0
