551 Apollo - The Gravity Game games 21 Apollo - The Gravity Wow! Great game. Sound and multiplayer would be nice, promised in future versions. BUT, it has a nice two player split-screen mode that's great for two! My only serious regret is that it doesn't really run on a 486, and it should be able to. However, it runs fine on my Cyrix 6x86 150 megahertz. 1999-04-24 08:10:15 0
552 XBlast games 21 XBlast WOW! Great Game! Just play it. It displays to other X Displays the most efficiently of any program I've ever seen, works nicely between my P150 and 486. However, it's funny because I usually just turn off my small 14" monitor and we both watch off of the 17". Very smooth game, great sound, good interface, very well done. The only grudge is a bad (text) interface to setup a game. HOWEVER, multipul game settings can be saved for future use. 1999-04-24 08:20:31 0
553 BFRIS games 968 BFRIS The worst space combat sim ever! 1999-04-26 04:04:51 0
554 Crystal Space games 971 Crystal Space Looks cool, but I've found the build process to be rather baroque. Has anyone considered moving to autoconf/automake? 1999-04-26 13:11:30 0
555 prboom games 858 prboom MEGA COOL !!!! ;-) 1999-04-26 14:31:05 0
556 XShipWars games 976 XShipWars It could use a little stability, and the user interface was all but unusable. Definitely one to watch, though. I'm sure I'll enjoy this one in a month or two. 1999-04-26 21:51:28 0
557 Freeciv games 976 Freeciv This is currently one of my top 5 favorite linux games. 1999-04-26 21:53:57 0
558 NetHack games 976 NetHack This game is much too detailed, much too intricate, and much too much fun. It's a very playable game, anywhere from the console of an AMD 400 to a 14.4 baud connection to a 386. The game is simply huge, and while I have played for upwards of 2 hours with a single character, I have yet to see the midpoint in the game. My only concern is that the developers are spending too much time on it, and aren't getting out enough. :) 1999-04-26 21:58:39 0
559 Starcraft Linux-installation HOWTO games 976 Starcraft Linux-inst This worked exactly as advertised. I was able to surmount all my difficulties and get the game installed in spite of the total lack of MS OSs on my system. Now, if only StarCraft would stop crashing... but that's another story. :) This HOWTO works as advertised. 1999-04-26 22:09:49 0
560 MirrorMagic II games 976 MirrorMagic II I used to spend days at a time hunched over my GameBoy playing MindBender. This game is MindBender with the names changed to protect the innocent. :) 1999-04-26 22:18:02 0
