Tribes2 Patch for Linux Out

Posted by timothy on from the lantinga-strikes-again dept.

Tom writes "After Dynamix went under, Tribes2 was unsupported for a while, then Sierra signed a contract with GarageGames (the company formed by several Ex-Dynamic guys), but only for the Windows version. Those of us who bought the Linux version ported by Loki were left out in the cold -- until today. Linuxgames has the story. Sam Lantinga of SDL fame did the port/patch."

    Sam Lantinga is one of the coolest guys in opensource today. Hes done a lot for gaming on Linux and his SDL library is being used by hundreds of projects now. I really look up to this guy.

    Now I know I can count on Slashdot to tell me whenever my games get patched, because isn't that why we are really here?

    Now my friends will be complaining even more that i still haven't tried Tribes 2. What's so cool about it that the 30,000 other FPS' dont have?
