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."

    Its true. XP has a better interface, is more reliable, supports more hardware, and is cheaper long term in the IDC TCO studies.

    Don't you love the support you get with Linux software?
    Yeah, it's incredible they aren't willing to do commercial class tech support even though they're working on it for free, ain't it?

    Well......

    Iplay UT 2003, Medal of Honor and a host of other FPS's...none of which run under Linux very well.

    So if you have Linux, have fun playing with Duke3d...a 7 year old game.
