A multiplayer roguelike game.<p>
Crossfire 0.95.1 has been released. This version is mainly bugfixes -
if you are running 0.95.0, you really should upgrade to 0.95.1. If you
are running a 0.94.3 (last version to have X11 support in the server),
the upgrade could be more in doubt. However, some major improvements
in reliability have been made since 0.95.0, so if you were using that
as a basis not to upgrade, it may no longer be quite as good a measurement. |

Quake 2, the greatest 3-D multiplayer violence ever conceived by humans.<p>
Thus spake <a href="http://www.linuxquake.com/cgi-bin/finger.pl?xian@idsoftware.com">Christian Antkow</a>:<br>
<blockquote>This is, for all intents and purposes, the last official release of Quake II.<p>
Nothing has changed from the 3.20 beta. It was deemed stable, and was mastered
on Extremeties.</blockquote>
