4400 Slash'EM games 3722 Slash'EM This used to be my favourite NetHack type game, but then I played NetHack Falcon's Eye. Would of been 4 stars, but NetHack Falcon's Eye has moved the "hack" games to a new level. This game is good but not great. 2001-12-16 06:07:36 0

4403 ZAngband games -1 ZAngband Zangband and the other Angband variants are the best games going. For any platform. Period. Lame (and slow and less informative) graphics are available for builds on many platforms; unsure about Linux. I prefer older versions of Zangband myself, and early versions of Oangband, but there is something for everyone, from the brutally hard & balanced early Oangband versions to the munchkin heaven of Pernband. The creators of Diablo freely admitted they ripped of Angband--and boy did it show. Imagine Diablo/Diablo II without realtime or graphics and many thousands more items, artifacts, spells, and monsters. For those coming from the Hack/Nethack/ADOM/Slash 'Em etc. family: the Moria/Angband games are less funny and rely far less on "do this to/with specific item to make specific super item/effect" and more on tactical and strategic play: it is very very very easy to die in one turn (and reloading save games after death is considered cheating!), so you learn to minimize risk each turn while dealing with whatever problem. Baseball leagues for single player fantasy nuts! 2001-12-18 00:09:13 0
4404 Copter Commander games -1 Copter Commander From the screen shots looks a little like Rescue raiders. Shame the code doesn't compile (mandrake 8.1) 2001-12-18 09:07:51 0
4405 Tux Racer games -1 Tux Racer The best game for Linux EVER !!!! If I wasn't so lazy, then i would login and give it 5 stars !!! 2001-12-18 11:43:37 0
4406 Copter Commander games -1 Copter Commander hmm..looks interesting, but i find it hard to compile too 2001-12-18 14:27:04 0
4407 DGen/SDL games -1 DGen/SDL I've been using DGen for a while. It rocks my world. This is probably the best example of a working emulator out (snes9x is very good too, maybe they're tied). 2001-12-18 20:49:08 0
4408 LinuxPhobia (PhobiaII DAWN) games 3722 LinuxPhobia (PhobiaI This game reminds me of some old C= 64 game - where things just follow you where ever you go and you shot them. The kind of game you right in BASIC when you are a little kid. There is no stategy involved, you run around and shot untill you die. The graphics are okay, the music is great, but all in all not worth the download 2 stars for using ogg. 2001-12-19 05:32:43 0
4409 Heretic games -1 Heretic prakas i want heretic 3 2001-12-19 06:58:23 0
4410 LinuxPhobia (PhobiaII DAWN) games 2642 LinuxPhobia (PhobiaI This is pretty cool. The graphics are nice, although the aliens are "blah" looking. The weapons rock, and hey - OGG music always gets some bonus points. ;) The only thing that keeps me from giving this 5 stars is the random crashes I experienced with it. But if you like mindless killing, definitely give this game a try... 2001-12-19 10:36:50 0
