| 3689 | Simutrans | games | 4387 | Simutrans | A transport tycoon clone with some interesting differences. I found the fact that each producer will only give you cargo to be delivered to a specific destination difficult to get used to. Signals on the train lines are easily confused (this is a bug) leaving trains unable to go anywhere and unable to be removed. This game has real potential to rise to a five star winner. | 2001-06-12 03:11:26 | 0 |
| 3690 | armagetron | games | -1 | armagetron | I've been playng armagetron for over a month. It works beautifully whether in hardware (3dfx) or software rendering mode. By far the best tron game available. -Patrov | 2001-06-12 05:15:06 | 0 |

| 3692 | NetHack Falcon's Eye | games | 704 | NetHack Falcon's Eye | It takes a while to get used to the fact that it IS NetHack there in the background. Very well done graphics and music. May not please hardcore NetHackers, but it is good nonetheless. | 2001-06-12 10:07:35 | 0 |
| 3693 | NetHack Falcon's Eye | games | -1 | NetHack Falcon's Eye | I _am_ a hardcore nethack player, but I still think this is very neat. All the usual keyboard commands work just as usual and the sound effects really gives the game a great atmosphere. The main thing that would really improve this game would be a better overview map than the tiny one in the left hand corner - sometimes (as when you are telepathic) it really helps to see exactly where everybody is, and you really can't get that from the tiny map. | 2001-06-12 11:26:24 | 0 |
| 3694 | Doomdark's Revenge | games | -1 | Doomdark's Revenge | I got this game to run, but talk about a f*ck*ng pain in the a*s to do. Too much trouble for a game this lame. | 2001-06-12 13:52:52 | 0 |
| 3695 | NetHack Falcon's Eye | games | 3345 | NetHack Falcon's Eye | <P><b>Nice.</b> Very nice. Great graphics work all around. I have a few problems and suggestions, otherwise you'd get 5 stars hands down (I'd regularly give 3 for these, but you've put in so much good work that you deserve 4 <tt>;-)</tt>).</P> <P><b>Technical.</b> <ul> <li>The game takes up 100% CPU. This is a big problem; it shouldn't have to take that, even if there's animation going on.</li> <li>You need to document how to enable the GUI version a little better; I had to manually plug in stuff from <tt>defaults.nh</tt> to <tt>NETHACKOPTIONS.</tt> This isn't a major problem, but it's easy to fix. <tt>:-)</tt>.</li> <li>Providing binaries for other platforms would be nice; compiling nethack has always been a little hairy. Converting to <tt>autoconf</tt> would be cool, but it might be a lot of work, too.</li> </ul> </P> <P><b>Gameplay.</b> (I know there's not a lot you can do with some of these, but nonetheless...) <ul> <li>Problems clicking on things: I assume I should be able to walk around by clicking on the ground, where there's a crosshair, but it enters 'Count: ...'. (This may be a documented problem; I'll look around.)</li> <li>Animation. <tt>:-)</tt> This is, as far as I can tell, basically impossible with nethack's engine, since there's no such thing as facing, etc. But if you could find some way to hack it, so things move around smoothly... well, that would just rock.</li> </ul> </P> <P>But overall, very cool, great work, <i>very</i> nice graphics and screen layout, etc.</P> | 2001-06-12 14:07:14 | 0 |

| 3697 | NetHack Falcon's Eye | games | 4 | NetHack Falcon's Eye | It would easily get 5 stars if it weren't for some things (one poster already mentionend most of them). Installation isn't easy, autoconf would help a lot. I don't get the background music (perhaps it's not implemented for linux right now?). After some time of playing it hangs my box. The last thing is the worst of course. (version 1.9) | 2001-06-13 00:15:27 | 0 |
| 3698 | Arkanae | games | -1 | Arkanae | Really wonderfull game. With cool graphics and addictive gameplan and it seems to be improving each version. It needs some care to get it working - new Xfree 4.1 and JVM :( | 2001-06-13 02:36:24 | 0 |
