This is a playable demo of an adventure game |
From the Hopkins FBI README:
<blockquote>A criminal organization, claiming to posses nuclear
weapons, threatens to use them against american people, if the
United States government does not bow to its demands. Faced with
America's absolute refusal to cooperate with the terrorists, two
nuclear missiles are launched on the state of California,killing
50000 people.The FBI, in charge of the case, opens up the biggest
investigation of the century. In 1986, after 2 years of inquiry,
the leader of the criminal organization, Bernie Berckson, is
found, thanks to the excellent work of one FBI man : special
agent Hopkins.Special Agent Hopkins has just been put on the
biggest case of his life : find and kill Bernie Berkson, the most
vicious and dangerous criminal in years.Hostage showdowns,
murders terrorist acts: Special Agent Hopkins has to get around a
nightmare of traps and twisted surprises in the course of his
investigations if he wants to find Berkson and save the planet
form certain doomsday.
<p>
Let's just stay that if Quentin Tarentino had ever created video
game, it would have been "Hopkins FBI"
<p>
Hopkins FBI is a game drawing on American
comic-strip cartoons. The action takes place in the present day,
in an undefined city of the USA. It is a click-and-play adventure
game.The hero of the game, Hopkins, is an FBI agent who at the
start, is investigating a bank robbery. But very soon, the plot
turns angry on him: a hardened criminal he had arrested years
before succeeds in escaping from the prison where he was held,
and is out to seek revenge on Hopkins...The visual treatment is
very much angled on comic-strip graphics.The player has the
feeling of being inside comic-strip boxes.The colours are bright,
the decors detailed. During his investigation, the player will
meet and dialogue with some forty characters.These are often
caricatural, especially the women who, with some rare
exceptions,tend to have dumb-blonde roles.The atmosphere of the
game is fairly gory and violent. But this aspect is always
mitigated by the black humour of the characters and dialogue, as
well as the at times surrealistic air to the situations. It is
all right to suggest the world of Pulp Fiction and the films of
John Woo.

A very cool sound and graphics demo for X11 and SVGAlib |
Wow. Until I watched this demo, I hadn't realized how much I missed the productions of the Future Crew, Triton and others a few years back. If you don't know what I'm talking about, a "demo" in this sense is a demonstration of someone or some group's awesome graphics coding power, usually accompanied by music. State of Mind is no exception. It's a very fast-paced, hip montage of 3D graphics, old film footage and really nice film-ish effects. No description will do this demo justice, though. Take the time to download it and you'll understand what I'm talking about. There's a very high coolness factor here. State of Mind won 2nd place at The Party '98 demo competition in Denmark.
<p>
This demo runs under X11 or SVGAlib. If you run it with root permissions in X, it'll run in DGA (fullscreen) mode. |

A Linux remake of the classic Amiga game Virus |
Zarch is influenced by the classic Acorn Archimedes game. This game was also known as "Virus" on the Commodore Amiga.
<p>
In Zarch, you fly around a randomly created world, that includes water, trees, houses, fuel platforms and some sophisticated enemy fighters.
<p>
All the original Virus gameplay has not been implemented yet, but right now there are 10 progressively harder levels to play with progressively more difficult enemies. After 10 levels the game ends. |

Console style RPG for Linux/Win32's |
Raider's Saga is a RPG inspired by many many Japanese console RPG's I've played over the years. Japanese RPG's differ from from more traditional ones in the way that they focus more on moving along their stories than on game mechanics. Raider's Saga follows the life of a boy named Alex and his quest to free his world from the tyranny of a corrupt king and more. |
