| 7185 | Bridge Construction Set | games | 325 | No Linux version | There isn't a linux version of this yet. It also seems really expensive ($US29.95) for a game which doesn't even have a manual! | 2002-11-08 11:52:28 | 0 |
| 7186 | Transfusion | games | -1 | Hmmm | It gives me the following error , any ideas: [root@darthtux transfusion]# ./transfusion-glx -h Transfusion Linux 13:28:15 Oct 22 2002 Added packfile ./transfusion/pak0.pak (904 files) Added packfile ./transfusion/textures.pak (671 files) Playing registered version.

| 7187 | Bridge Construction Set | games | -1 | Re: No Linux version | Um - yes there is a Linux version: <a href="http://www.chroniclogic.com/pontifex2/dllinux.html">here</a> <p /> And yes - there is a manual: <a href="http://www.chroniclogic.com/pontifex2/pfx2manual/">here</a> <p /> It's worth $29.95 because 1) it runs on 'nix and 2) it's something honest-to-goodness *different*. <p /> :) I haven't tried it yet, but I want to. Looks cool. | 2002-11-08 14:10:06 | 7185 |
| 7188 | Bridge Construction Set | games | 4498 | Satisfying geeky fun | I've been a fan of the two previous versions (the regrettably non-Linux friendly <a href="http://www.bridgebuilder-game.com/">Bridge Builder</a> and <a href="http://www.chroniclogic.com/poverview.html">Pontifex</a>), and I'm pleased to no end that I can play under Linux. The game is alot of fine, like a really geek Lego set. You get a large number of materials to work with, iron, steel, heavy steel, cables, suspension cables, and hydralics. The game starts a bit slowly with simple levels (probably to help introduce you), but advances to some real tricky problems. Can I span 800 meters? Can I build a drawbridge that allows two boats to pass side by side? Can I build a 200 meter long bridge with no underwater anchor points using only iron beams (the weakest beams). And once you've successfully completed a level, it's fun to see how low you can drive the price down without dunking the train or cars in the river. Or try something radical like a <a href="http://www.bridgebuilder-game.com/cgi-bin/ib3/ikonboard.cgi?s=3dcc401e7cedffff;act=ST;f=11;t=19">bridge that swings to the side out of the way of the boat</a> or <a href="http://www.bridgebuilder-game.com/cgi-bin/ib3/ikonboard.cgi?s=3dcc41dc01aeffff;act=ST;f=11;t=49">other tortured designs</a>. Or just stick to <a href="http://www.bridgebuilder-game.com/cgi-bin/ib3/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=12;t=7">more conventional designs</a>. <p>I purchased Pontifex II and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City on the same day and it's a hard choice for which to play each night. I suspect Pontifex II has received slightly more play time than GTA:VC. <p>The game comes with a level editor and has a <a href="http://www.bridgebuilder-game.com/">healthy community</a> that discusses designs, runs contests, and develops extra levels. <p>I'm glad I purchased a copy and highly recommend it to fans of building stuff and simulations. <p>The game plays great under my Radeon 7500 with the stock XFree86 4.2 drivers. (Regrettably the advanced rendering options of shadows and reflections appear to dislike my video card, I suspect my drivers may share some of the blame.) | 2002-11-08 15:32:06 | 0 |

| 7194 | Bridge Construction Set | games | 5401 | Re: there is a demo... | You said the "W" word, shame on you :-)<br><br> Anyway, I believe there should be a Linux demo at some point (propably soon). | 2002-11-08 23:19:43 | 7192 |
