4019 ZAngband games -1 ZAngband ZAngband <b>CRUSHES</b> ADOM and puts Nethack to shame!<br> <b>LONG LIVE ZANGBAND!</b><br> <br> I got to go; must train my Vampire-Warrior a little bit... 2001-08-21 06:43:55 0
4020 Plasma EBG games 5068 Plasma EBG promices to be good. 2001-08-21 11:31:46 0
4021 Explosions Demo games 4948 Explosions Demo Not really really efficient code, which is what one would normally expect from a demo, but I had a couple of fun minutes playing with the different combinations of the effects. I won't ask too much from the build system, as this is only a demo program. My processor: Athlon@850, Voodoo 3. 2001-08-21 14:20:53 0
4022 Mures games 4948 Mures Great game concept. Needs a little improvement on the character graphics and the sound may be just a little bit annoying (had to lower the volume). Build system: configure script, but didn't try to find SDL_ttf and SDL_net, which I didn't have installed, so I think it should. The game couldn't find its resource (maps/images) directories after installing: had to run under the build directory. 2001-08-21 14:33:16 0
4023 Gnome 3D Tetris games 4948 Gnome 3D Tetris Excellent: just like blockout! The "new game" sound is a little bit irritating, but that's just minor. Built and installed perfectly on a Ximian GNOME desktop. 2001-08-21 14:38:44 0
4024 Gamma Patrol games 4948 Gamma Patrol The graphics are funny but simple: could make a better effort with that povray thing. Menues and info browser are great, as well as the entrance screen. Seems like it didn't like SDL 1.2 very much. Should be able to make install too. The sounds are some great, and others just fair. A game that IS FREE SOFTWARE is Powermanga, which supercedes this one by much. 2001-08-21 15:33:48 0
4025 Andromeda 9 games -1 Andromeda 9 Very cool, I would say this is a successful Subspace clone. Much better than the original, less weapons though. Stabilty is ok, could be better. 2001-08-21 16:38:12 0
4026 Liquid War games 5136 Liquid War The packaging is lame, pretty buggy and slow. But all that can be (and most probably will be) fixed with time. But the idea - it's fantastic: Original and addictive. 5 stars here. 2001-08-21 16:57:48 0
4027 Abuse-SDL games 4498 Abuse-SDL Excellent. The <A HREF="http://happypenguin.org/show?Abuse">original Abuse</A> doesn't really run or compile any more. This version runs fine. The author was recently given permission to distribute the official files, so you can play the entire original game. It's a bit old and low resolution, but the graphics are still solid and the gameplay is excellent. Mindless side-scrolling gun fun! 2001-08-21 18:50:06 0
4028 Abuse games 4498 Abuse It's a great game, but it's simply incompatible with modern Linux systems. I'm giving this version 1 star because it's basically impossible to run. Fortunately all is not lost. Abuse has been <A HREF="http://happypenguin.org/show?Abuse-SDL">updated to use the SDL</A> and runs great! Get <A HREF="http://happypenguin.org/show?Abuse-SDL">Abuse-SDL</A> to see this great game. (The SDL version is 5 stars) 2001-08-21 18:54:15 0
