| 445 | 2 | 1999-07-06 15:22:58 | There sure have been a lot of articles about Linux gaming popping up recently. Here's three more: <ul> <li><a href="http://home.cnet.com">CNet</a> has posted a <a href="http://home.cnet.com/category/0-3721-7-290058.html?st.cn.linuxtc.rl.sw">Linux starter kit</a>.

Saw this a <a href="http://www.linuxgames.com">linuxgames.com</a>. <li>There's a good <a href="http://linuxtoday.com/stories/7398.html">article</a> about game programming and free software and whether they mix well at <a href="http://www.linuxtoday.com">LinuxToday</a>. <li>Finally, <a href="http://cnn.com">CNN Interactive</a> is running <a href="http://cnn.com/TECH/computing/9907/01/linuxgame.idg/index.html">an overview of the state of Linux games</a>.

| 446 | 2 | 1999-07-07 10:57:44 | <em>Category:</em> Game-related Utility<br> <em>Description:</em> This is a server-only port of the 3D-shooter game Kingpin. Says Fyan Feltrin, of Xatrix Entertainment: <blockquote> The Linux Kingpin dedicated server is now available. <p> This is considered a BETA release, although it may not be marked as such, we have only tested it for about 16 hours on a half-dozen servers. <p>There are currently two packages available. <p>Dedicated server PACK. This includes all maps and player models required to run a dedicated server only. (10.5mb) <p>Intel386 Linux glibc 2.0.7 binaries.(0.5mb) <p>Make sure to read the kp_linux_readme.txt for installation and usage notes. <p>Please report any bugs to me asap. I'm new to Linux development, so be as informative as possible with any reports. </blockquote> As with the <a href="/show?Half%20Life%20dedicated%20server">Half-Life</a> server, I'm underwhelmed by this release. Give us something we can <em>play</em> guys. I'm not exactly messing my pants over the opportunity to dedicate my server's cycles to a game that I can't play myself... | Kingpin dedicated server | new | |
