Creatures Internet Edition Linux Game Publishing www www Mini-review and screenshots www Order Creatures from Tuxgames.com Control the evolution of a species. Creatures Internet Edition is an AI-based computer game in which the player cares for and breeds a race of creatures called Norns, who live on an abandoned spaceship. Each Norn has its own “cyber DNA,” and when the creatures breed, their offspring inherit genes much as real animals do. The Norns share their environment with other species, including the Ettins and Grendals. You must maintain a breeding population of Norns, and also to maintain the delicate ecostructure of the ship’s terrariums. <p> Raise, teach and breed your own (Norns) life forms. Creatures provide an exciting environment within a virtual world where you learn to communicate with your life form (Norns) and explore their world with them. You also have the ability to experiment with genetic engineering yourself by manipulating Norn genetics allowing you to create a different breed . simulation commercial $29.00 USD img off on off off off on 2002-01-26 bobz 2002-01-26 03:04:59 2 <ul> <li>Linux kernel 2.2 <li>Pentium II class processor <li>64Mb RAM <li>4 speed CD-ROM drive <li>16 bit Sound card, OSS compatible <li>Video card capable of 800x600 resolution <li>400MB free hard disk space <li>Glibc 2.1 <li>Other common software: GTK libraries, Wget or lynx, bzip2 </ul> 2002-10-02 15:43:53 on

Lost Hero Various developers www 0.9.9.8 RPG engine Do you remember these old golden days of D&D games? Dungeon Master, Eye of the Beholder, Wizardry, Land of Lore and others? I do. And I must say that I enjoyed these games. It wasn't about mega-super-3D-engines with 70fps-frame-rates, but it was mainly about atmosphere, it was hard to get through and there was great ideas behind. And that's the point of this project. To create game system where some people can create D&D games and other people can play them. <p> Features:<br> - support for running individual games<br> - pseudo 3D game engine (smooth moving like in Lands of Lore I, not jumping from square to square)<br> - own language, which is used in dungeons, for spells, NPC, etc.<br> - dynamic system of parameters, what means that it's very easy to add new game rules and it keeps old game saves<br> - multi-language support<br> - editor to create own games<br> under development free img on on off off off off 2002-08-02 2 2002-08-02 07:25:53 3 www Java >=1.3 2002-12-02 17:57:50 on

Open Racer www 0.6.1 A free racing game based on the now closed-source Tux Racer Open Racer is going to be a 3d gaming engine based upon what originally was called Tux R acer, originally written by Jasmin Patry. <p> SunSpire Studios , for whom Jasmin now works, has decided to make a commercial version based on the Tux Racer 0.6.1 version of Tux Racer. This is perfectly legal and acceptable according to the terms of the GPL, since Jasmin is the original licenser and has the authority to relicense his program. (Sunspire has removed all contributed code from the 1.0 version as well, thanks for pointing this out, filip) <p> The goal of the Open Racer project is to continue development and improvement of the Tux Racer game from the GPLed 0.6.1 codebase with a goal of making a game-independent 3d Extreme racing engine.Open Racer will develop in a different direction than the commercial Tux Racer in order to keep from direct competition and wasteful strife with Sunspire Studios. Note that this project is not intended in any way to compete(and probably won't be able to) with the commercial Tux Racer. In fact, I suggest that you buy Tux Racer when it comes out. action free img on on off on off off 2002-02-05 bobz 2002-01-23 22:25:48 2 www 2002-01-23 22:25:48 on
R-aTTaCK Rodrigo Frederic www 0.9.1 R-aTTaCk is a Tetris-attack© like, but with more option. R-aTTaCk is a Tetris attack©-like game, but with more options. To win you must remove boxes; to achieve this, you must draw lines (of 3 or more boxes). When you remove a special box, a special action is being made, in order to help you or not; your goal: achieve the best score! Each type of boxes has different points, if you make more than 60 points in one move you win a block. In order to reduce a block, you must destroy a box by touching it. The combos: when you remove more than 3 boxes you win 10 points for all additional boxes, the game writes "4n", "5n", ... the serial combo writes "x2", "x3" and more when the consequences of a deletion produces other deletions, the points are multiplied by the level of this combo. The blocks: they provide option in order to bother you. When you have it, it's more difficult to do you work: remove more and more boxes; so you can delete it. arcade free img on on on off off off 2001-10-24 bobz 2002-01-09 08:11:05 -1 SDL and SDL_image.<br> Optional: SDL_mixer. 2002-10-25 20:13:22 on
