Tetris for Linux console. |
Tetris for Linux console. It's much better looking than Tetris for Terminals. The commands work like Nintendo Tetris, not the original Tetris (hold down space to drop a piece quickly, let go and it drops at the normal rate). This is just the standard tetris-like game, with no special pieces or features. Overall, a well-done game---the interface is pretty, and I didn't encounter any bugs. |

A side-view shoot-em-up with nice sound and graphics. |
SpaceBoom is a side-view shoot-em-up with digitized sounds and a midi soundtrack. There's a nice selection of power-ups and bad guys to keep it interesting. However, the graphics and sounds were buggy on my machine, though not on the second machine I tried. Otherwise, it looks like fun. Check out the web page for screenshots. |

A memory card game based on a Czech TV series. |
Pexeso is a memory/concentration game for children which runs in 640x480 using svgalib. It has multiple sets of cards, including a set based on a Czech TV series Vecernicek, and flags of the world. The artwork is pretty and the interface mostly flawless. You may need to patch it to work with non-Microsoft mice.

Save Christmas from an omelette-flavored doom |
<p>I remember the day of the invasion well. The memories still burn deeply, like spicy chicken wings.
<p>They came without warning, squawking menacingly, their ruffled feathers darkening the sun. Invading intergalactic chickens, out to punish humanity for our oppression of their earthly brethren.
<p>I instantly knew what had to be done. I dropped my half-eaten chicken burger and jumped in my cockpit. With a greasy finger I set my lasers to "extra crispy" and blasted off to intercept the fowl invaders.
<p>It wasn't easy. Squawks, feathers flying, the smell of charred chicken everywhere. Three times they invaded, each time with increasingly devious plans. Three times I managed to push them back whence they came, and secure humanity a few more years as the dominant species of this planet.
<p>After their last retreat, I headed for my local Space Burger to bask in the glow of my recent victory. Breathing a sigh of relief, I sat down to enjoy a double chicken-burger with crispy chicken wings on the side.
<p>Little did I know that my greatest adventure was yet to come... |
