Just to clarify, it's not a Q3 mod at all, it's written using a modified Quake1 engine called Darkplaces and it's got gamecode and content written frm scratch. It was released before Quake3 engine was opensourced and so it uses none of the quake3 code.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15129841390409708047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689674754606321230.post-69841684307961283342007-11-19T07:31:00.000-08:002007-11-19T07:31:00.000-08:00Another game that has Windows, Mac AND Linux versi...Another game that has Windows, Mac AND Linux versions (and is free) is the Senior Year game at <A HREF="http:\\bklovr.com" REL="nofollow">BkLovr</A>NaweGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14604274854045070471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689674754606321230.post-38074469291390196652007-11-19T07:05:00.000-08:002007-11-19T07:05:00.000-08:00I would like to add to the list, "Ur-Quan Masters"...I would like to add to the list, "Ur-Quan Masters". A classic game, originally I know it was for PC and also the 3DO game system, probably others. Called "Star Control II", it is still one of the best time-wasters out there!<BR/><BR/>It's got 1-player or 2-player melee mode where you can fight the computer or somebody else using over 30 different spaceships. If you want a deeper, more involved game, there is the whole role-playing main game where you play a commander who must save Earth and its allies from the dreadful Ur-Quan overlords and their evil minions! It's got all sorts of online documentation, hints, and stuff. Check it out!! <BR/><BR/><B>apt-get install uqm</B>Tungsaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17479890909822906570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689674754606321230.post-68877976175417130372007-11-19T06:28:00.000-08:002007-11-19T06:28:00.000-08:00You are missing a popular network game, BZFlag (ak...You are missing a popular network game, BZFlag (aka BattleZone Capture the Flag) which is a multi-player 3D arcade tank combat.<BR/><BR/>http://bzflag.org/<BR/><BR/>it is in the Ubuntu packages and IIRC <BR/> apt-get install bzflag<BR/><BR/>will install it.joecommodorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08932358422957731988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689674754606321230.post-90898069722267710862007-11-19T06:26:00.000-08:002007-11-19T06:26:00.000-08:00Vdrift is not on the Ubuntu repositories.Vdrift is not on the Ubuntu repositories.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02899870347404953717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689674754606321230.post-40883715625273633202007-11-19T06:19:00.000-08:002007-11-19T06:19:00.000-08:00Very good lineup!
