It's released under Windows and Linux, costs a mere 25 USDs, and has no middleman to jack prices up. 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?"

    What a crapload of free advertising for something I 'm not interested in, dunno about the other slashdot readers but lately it seems that a lot of people and projects are getting unnecessary advertisements..

    So who do I pay to get my site mentioned ? :)

It's released under Alpha, ARM, Intel x86, Motorola 680x0, PowerPC and SPARC, costs a mere 0 USDs, and has no middleman to jack prices up. 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. If you install it, you get 25 points. 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?"
