3515 SolarWolf games 994 SolarWolf Simple, yet strangely compelling. for a time, at least. I find that the simplicity prevents long-term addiciton though, as after you beat it once, well, every game is the same. 2001-05-06 01:32:07 0
3516 jump n bump games -1 jump n bump cool!!!!!!!!! 2001-05-06 14:05:40 0
3517 Slash'EM games -1 Slash'EM installed the deb package; very cool. i noticed a lot of really neat features that i always wished nethack had. but where is the nice gtk interface? all i see is the funky ascii. the ascii is nice for nostalgia, but i wouldn't have downloaded this game had it not been for the cool looking graphics. is there a way to force gtk? 2001-05-06 16:14:34 0
3518 SolarWolf games 2642 SolarWolf I installed pygame, Python 2.1, and the SolarWolf source, but when I run it... <P><PRE>[thochman@desktop solarwolf-1.0]$ ./solarwolf.py Cannot Import SolarWolf Modules</PRE></P> 2001-05-06 23:55:11 0
3519 Heroes games -1 Heroes great game, I really like it. But it is very hard in quest mode, and the AI is not so well designed (it is why it misses a network mode). 2001-05-08 10:50:00 0
3520 Race games 4074 Race I reinstalled Hermes and Clanlib, updated my out-of-date libPNG (which caused anything using PNG not to compile) and gave Race a second try. My frame rate was too low and I always drove out of screen but this bug was easily fixed by the author. And now after a lot of stress with libs I was finally able to play this game. Though graphics, sound and menu still need some work (that's ok, it isn't a 1.0 so far) the game itself is already up and a lot of fun to play! Definitely worth the download and the clanLIB terror ;-D It's 4 stars so far but I'll give it 5 stars in advance hoping the author keeps working on it. DOWNLOAD AND TRY IT! 2001-05-08 13:23:15 0
3521 Race games 4074 Race Just wanted to add that the computer opponents are really good. At difficulty 'Easy' you have a fair chance to beat them and at 'Hard' you must really drive like a professional to reach a good ranking. Superb! Try it! 2001-05-08 13:26:32 0
3522 LTris games 1858 LTris i said that i'd give this game a higher review when the source becomes available. well, it's now available. so here is my update. <P> to be quite frank, i STILL think there's too many tetris clones (and i *love* tetris). however, this one is certainly different. it has a very professional feel to it. the author did a great job. very polished, very playable. <P> i would have to agree with one of the previous reviewers -- this definitely is one of the best tetris clones out there, if not the best. kudos to the author for a really nice game. i can see this being packaged with some linux distros in the future. :) 2001-05-08 13:33:08 0
3525 LTris games 1858 LTris This is what ltris should've gotten. 2001-05-09 07:55:43 0
3526 Glaxium games -1 Glaxium Grretings from Denmark I just tryed an early beta, its a good start. I think you have gotten a very good idea. Too bad I cant programme myself, but i hope to learn it later. Cheers 2001-05-09 09:39:29 0
