Rocks 'n' Diamonds Holger Schemel Artsoft Entertainment www www Rocks'n'Diamonds official forum www README file 3.3.0.1 A very good Boulderdash type game with high quality graphics and stereo sound. <p>Rocks 'n' Diamonds is a Boulderd*sh game for X11 with more than just the falling rocks and diamonds of its namesake. The object is still to collect all the diamonds (and emeralds), then get to the exit before time runs out. But your character must make use of bombs, spaceships, and many other elements in order to fill his quota of jewels. It is very customizable: users can create their own graphics, sounds and elements, so that modpacks can be created which create an entirely different flavour of the same game. This was written by the same person who wrote <a href="/show?mirrormagic%20ii">MirrorMagic</a>, and the graphics are of high quality, as are the musical soundtrack and sound effects. arcade free img on on off off on on 1998-09-01 3 1998-09-01 00:00:00 14 www www More Rocks'n'Diamonds screenshots <li><a href="http://www.libsdl.org/index.php">SDL</a> (for SDL version; not required for X11 version) 2010-08-23 17:00:57 on

Koules Jan Hubicka www 1.4 A unique action game for X or SVGAlib featuring a bouncy yellow ball. An action game for Linux console (320x200 or 640x480) or X. You're a yellow beach ball with eyes, and your mission is to bounce the little red balls off the edge of the screen while trying not to get bounced off yourself. The enemy balls seem deviously intelligent as they team up to bounce you off the board. Version 1.2 adds client/server network support; play it head to head on a few networked Linux boxes! arcade free img on on on off on on 1998-09-01 2 1998-11-02 16:30:54 14 www 2001-07-11 17:33:15 on

This is a 2D platform game with a dark, gritty feel. The lighting is beautiful and the character animation is very realistic. This is the shareware version, and only comes with a few levels. Multiplayer (IPX or TCP/IP) is supposedly supported in version 1.1.0, but wasn't available in the version I tested (0.3.2). mia shareware img on on on off on on 1998-09-01 2 1998-11-04 15:17:07 14 ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/abuse/linux-abuse.1.1.0.tar.gz www Download Abuse Source Code 2002-06-20 07:05:55 on
Sopwith SDL Simon Howard (SDL port) www 1.7.1 SDL port of the classic DOS game Sopwith (From the Sopwith FAQ):<br> Sopwith and its much-improved successor, Sopwith 2, is a CGA game designed for both single player play, and also equipped to handle up to 8 players in multiplayer mode (4 human, 4 computer). It is a side-scrolling biplane action game involving two sides - cyan and magenta. The object of the game in single-player is to destroy all of the enemy buildings and vehicles, either by shooting, bombing, or colliding with them. To stop you, the enemy has deployed planes to shoot you down and buildings that shoot anti-aircraft fire at you. Each level ends when all the enemy buildings and vehicles are destroyed, and is followed by a faster and more difficult level with the same map. action free img on on on off on on 2002-10-04 2 2002-10-04 23:12:04 -1 SDL 2002-10-27 14:23:34 on
