The game supports keyboard, mouse, joystick and steeringwheel.<p> The game uses OpenGL rendered 3D graphics, featuring detailed textures and models, realtime shadows, lensflare, skidmarks and more. | KartingRace 1.02b1 | new | KartingRace |

Tux has replaced the influencer and the Megasoft Corporation (MS) was introduced as the main evil force, that has taken over the universe and enslaved mankind. Tux, a creature from a different universe, suddenly pops out of the teleporter system in a camp of the resistance movement during a magnetic storm. He will try to get back to his home universe and therefore will need to join the rebels so they will help him get back home.<p> The weapon and character system was modeled after Diablo I, while some elements of Freedroid like the takeover game have been introduced as extra 'hacking' skill.<p> Formerly the announcements for this game (0.9.0-preview) came with 'Freedroid classic' but the games have now developed so differently, that we considered it justified to announce this as a separate game. Comments to Freedroid RPG please here. The Freedroid classic will reach the final version 1.0 in january of this year while the 'Freedroid RPG' game will continue development.<p> Ideas for new characters, dialogs, missions and the like very much appreciated. | Freedroid RPG 0.9.2 | new | Freedroid RPG |
