Duke3d in Linux

Posted by michael on from the come-get-some dept.

Obiwan Kenobi writes "So it took four days, but Duke3d now runs in Linux, courtesy of Icculus.org. Ironically, a win32 port has yet to be released. Features include full sound support, hi-res video modes (aka VESA modes for those familiar with DOS), saved games, full screen or windowed viewing, and even the BUILD editor works (to a degree). No mouse, demos, or networking just yet, but the basic gameplay is there and now that the BUILD engine has been ported a win32 version is soon on the horizon."

    Wasn't Duke3d originally released on Windows? Well I guess you can get it free now. So, yeah, the Linux port came out first... if you discount that commercial release to Windows 7 years ago.

    Hmmm. Come to think of it, might have to break out a little Duke3d...

    "No mouse, demos, or networking just yet..."

    When's Linux going to support those?
