We are now running a competition to guess the new titles we will be porting. The title will be announced on Friday Jan 10th, so this is a short competition. As usual, the prize draw will be for a signed copy of the games. To make your guess send an email to <a href="mailto:competition@linuxgmaepublishing.com">competition@linuxgamepublishing.com</a>. <p> People said that we made the clues for Disciples 2 far too easy, so your clues for these games are: <ol> <li>One game is a racing game, the other has cars but isn't about racing. <li>One was released in the US towards the end of 2001, the other was released much more recently. <li>Both games were made by the same European developer </ol> </i></blockquote> | Two New LGP Ports Are Coming | default |
