Of course, that means it's not available in stores, nor will it be seen on TV, but according to Newsforge, it's got great gameplay. So, will 25 bucks, a fresh game idea, and a Linux release make others in the gaming world stand up and take notice?"

If you also get networking to work, you get another 25 points, sound - another 25. If you correctly configure X, you got yourself another 25 big ones. So, will 0 bucks, a fresh game idea, and a Linux challenge make others in the gaming world stand up and take notice?"
