Duke3d in Linux
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."
Time to kick ass and chew bubble gum!
Posting useless rant since 2003.
Right, now lets start getting this ported to every system on earth. Duke3d for Dreamcast, PalmOS, and JavaVM everyone!
hehehehe double reference jokes are funny.
Ignore the "p2p is theft" trolls, they're just uninformed
Ironically, a win32 port has yet to be released.
They're probably too busy playing games released this decade.
General Kenobi, years ago you served my father in the Browser Wars. Now he begs you to help him in his struggle against the Duke of Nukem. I regret that I am unable to present my father's request to you in person, but my isp connection has fallen under attack and I'm afraid my mission to bring Duke to Linux has failed. I have placed information vital to the survival of the code into the memory systems of this x86 unit. My father will know how to retrieve it. You must see this boxen safely delivered to the free people running free software. This is our most desperate hour. Help me, ObiWan Kenobi, you're my only hope.
Don't you love the support you get with Linux software?
Yes I do, how dare they! I paid good money for that game and I expect it to work perfectly! Dammit they should be at my beck and call!
Sheesh, 4 days with the source and it should already use the Geforce4 features and look better than Ut2003! what are these aresholes doing? I demand they support me now! I demand they do what I want!
Hmmm, I am SURE that microsoft will gladly give me free support on all their products.
This sarcasim brought to you by the letter O.
Do not look at laser with remaining good eye.
...right?
