4029 Eric's Ultimate Solitaire games 4498 Eric's Ultimate Soli It's solitaire. It's a really nice solitaire game, but it's still just solitaire. If you're really into solitaire, this is the the king. If you're just looking for a bit of a distraction, try <A HREF="http://happypenguin.org/show?PySol">PySol (Python)</A>, <A HREF="http://happypenguin.org/show?AisleRiot">AisleRiot (Gnome)</A>, or <A HREF="http://happypenguin.org/list?search=solitaire">one of the many other free solitaire games</A>. 2001-08-21 19:22:19 0
4030 Chromium B.S.U. games 4498 Chromium B.S.U. Visually gorgeous, slightly repetitive. Mindless space shooter 2d scroller (using OpenGL for speed). 2001-08-21 20:38:43 0
4031 Gamma Patrol games -1 Gamma Patrol This game is great! We have to give more credit to the author...! Sure enough, POWERMANGA might be "better" (and again, beauty is in the eye of the beholder), but GammaPatrol is cross-platform, and I was able to compile it with almost no tweaking, straight out from the "configure" script on my Sun box...! I'd need some heavy duty voodoo to compile POWERMANGA due to its dependency on Linux' Xfree X-server! It was a good choice to use SDL and thus have the game "cross-platform" friendlier... It gets at least **** (4 stars) because it's still a work in progress...! Can't wait until the full game is out! The graphics R pretty enough, and the sounds do the job...! Thanks Benjamin (the author of GammaPatrol) for bringing this game out for the rest of us! =) 2001-08-21 21:15:03 0

4033 Arkanae games -1 Arkanae Yeah! Quit a promising game. I hope they keep on developing it. Personal experience : It took some time to get it working ( i had to change my ulimit due to a bug in java 1.3 and change the javalib path in the startup script) but it is worth the download. The controls could use some work though. There's even an editor but without some documentation it was chinese to me. :) 2001-08-22 11:07:20 0

4036 Exanoks games -1 Exanoks What's the point of putting this game here if the webpage is gone? 2001-08-22 17:35:20 0
4037 Simutrans games 5142 Simutrans Excellent. Doesnt get 5 purely 'cos it's not polished. I'm addicted. 2001-08-23 08:43:15 0
4038 NetHack games 1739 NetHack It may be worth noting that Nethack has a number of interfaces built from the same source: old fashioned text, simple X11, KDE-like Qt and GNOME. And the future of Nethack looks to be the Falcoln's Eye patch (listed separately on Game Tome) which is full screen SDL with intro movies, sound effects and music. This is not an old fashioned game :-) 2001-08-23 12:02:38 0
4039 Abuse-SDL games -1 Abuse-SDL Cool stuff! I wish other game vendors would follow Crack Dor Com. Man I would really love to play my old Amiga & C64 games. Yes, I know there are emulators but not every game works on them! 2001-08-23 13:52:14 0
