Tales of Middle Earth DarkGod www www ToME Wikipedia entry www ToME Wiki 2.3.5 A tile-based dungeon crawler similar to Nethack, Rogue, and Angband. <p>Tales of Middle Earth (ToME) is a fantasy adventure game, based on the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. It is a game that emphasizes intricate, challenging, and varied gameplay over graphics. Hundreds of different monsters in randomly-generated, unpredictable dungeons will strive to slay you by various means, and you counter - if you survive - by developing the skills of your choice and wielding mighty artifacts. ToME's races from Hobbit to Troll and classes from Swordmaster to Summoner allow for many different playing styles and a replay value that extends through years.</p> <p>The only game so realistic that your scrolls and spell books will burn if you trudge in lava (unless you have gained immunity from some armour), you will dry up rivers to cast mighty spells, strike at orcs with blades attuned to slay them specifically, summon armies from a simple totem, and even forge your own artifacts. There is an entire community to help you with the game, and it is far from static - ToME is a developing game, always improving. And best of all, it's free.</p> rpg free img on on on off off off 2005-10-23 4 2005-10-25 06:22:04 11724 www www ToME Forum 2008-06-26 18:08:35 on
Bugger!

Thousand Parsec Tim Ansell www www Thousand Parsec News www Thousand Parsec Developers Section 0.3.1 Turn-based space empire building game similar to Stars!, Galactic Civilizations. Thousand Parsec is a turn-based 4X strategy game (eXplore, eXpand, eXterminate, eXploit) but it is different in the sense that it is designed for long games supporting universes as large as your computer can handle. (Have a quad Xeon with 4 gig of ram? Well have a couple of million systems in your universe! :). It also supports long term play with players joining and leaving throughout the game. As well the tech tree is easily expandable and can be extended during the game without effecting anybody already playing (ie introduction of new technology as the game progresses). strategy free img on on on on on on 2005-02-09 506 2005-02-17 07:30:03 -1 www www Thousand Parsec Wiki 2008-03-27 17:52:37 off
Alien Arena 2008 Irritant COR Entertainment, LLC www www Alien Arena Official Website www Alien Arena Tips, server info, etc. 7.51 Freeware sci-fi first person deathmatch game. <p>This game combines some of the very best aspects of such games as Quake III and Unreal Tournament and wraps them up with a retro alien theme, while adding tons of original ideas to make the game quite unique. <p>The goal of Alien Arena was to create the perfect marriage between Quake and Unreal Tournament, between retro sci-fi and futuristic tech, and between casual gamer and advanced expert, and wrap it up in a package with quality that could rival that of commercial games. The game has a weapon set that is unique and fun, and deviates a bit away from the standard Q3 or UT2k4 weapons. Gameplay can be altered easily in the menu by choosing between the various game types, such as Deathmatch, Team Core Assault, All Out Assault, Capture the Flag, Duel, and Cattle Prod. Users can also apply a number of different mutators to the game rules as well, creating some pretty interesting scenarios. <p>Using the CRX engine, which is based on the Id GPL source code, Alien Arena includes modern effects such as real time per-pixel lighting and shadows, lensflares, light blooms, reflective water, textured particles, stainmaps, 32 bit color, shaders, fog, weather effects, and much more. The engine has been optimized with each release, and will run very nicely even on older hardware. action free img on on on on on on 2008-03-06 4 2008-03-07 18:41:11 12833 www www Third party accessories for Alien Arena. 2011-08-22 19:02:16 on
Quake id Software www ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/source/q1source.zip Download the GPL'ed source to Quake ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/idgames/idstuff/source/q1source.zip Alternate download site for Quake source id Software's venerable first true 3d game. This is the Linux version of Quake. You'll need to grab the PAK file from the DOS distribution in order to play it. Don't even think of playing it on anything but a Pentium or a really fast 486 (i.e., something faster than mine). There's also a port to SVGAlib which doesn't require X. If you have a 3Dfx accelerator card, check out GL Quake. As for the looks, well, it looks like Quake. If you haven't seen it yet, do so now. The game itself is your basic kill-them-before-they-kill-you scenario. But you'll probably have a lot of fun anyway. action shareware img on on on on on on 1998-09-01 3 1998-11-02 17:27:16 14 ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/unsup www The Linux Quake HOWTO 2002-11-23 19:48:22 on
