Simms- I'm looking forward to the future titles!

In the future, they are called DIMMs.

Old Games = Good Thing by lysium · 2003-04-25 02:53 · Score: 4, Funny

Perhaps this is just a personal Emerson-ish retreat from modern gaming, but I am very glad to see older, modest games being released, or re-released, for Linux.
Many linux machines out there are older desktops and laptops with limited system resources (certainly not 3-D!) The best games for Linux are either venerable classics (nethack) or cutting edge ports (MOHAA, UT2003). Let's not forget older games, made back in the days when People Were Nice, and Money Wasn't Everything. Anyone up for a port of MOO2?

I'm so sick of people posting exactly what they think mods want to see just to get a few Karma points.

Wow, this is pretty new! by t0ny · 2003-04-25 10:15 · Score: 2, Funny

Cool. Now all the Linux gamers can enjoy a game which was released for Windows way back in 2000. Maybe with some advances, they can play current games by 2005.

The initial review there is the worst attempt at a game review I've ever seen, including the ones people write on Amazon.com. The rebuttal is a little better, but not much.
Agreed. The breathless and rambling writing sytle makes both of them sound like ten year olds with ADHD and on speed who just finished off a pot of coffee and are now starting in on a few lines of coke.
