ThinkTanks Linux Version Released

Posted by simoniker on from the all-tanked-up-and-nowhere-to-go dept.

Bruha writes "This story from Linux Online Gaming points out that ThinkTanks, a 3D tank combat game, is now available for Linux. It can be bought here, and a demo is available. This has to be one of the most entertaining games I've played on Linux in a long time." The site also has a Mac version available, with the developers telling us the Windows version should be out before the end of the week, and this looks like a very neat use of the GarageGames Torque engine to create a good-looking, playable independent game on multiple platforms.

  1. More interesting ... by torpor · · Score: 4, Informative

    ... is the fact that the engine for this game (and 4 others) is also available, is cross-platform, and is easy to use.

    Check here for details.

    I dl'ed and played ThinkTanks (for OSX, yay!) today and found it to be totally fun... not exactly huuuge in terms of investment, but very fun to play. I'm especially happy that there are game companies like GarageGames out there who are willing to do Linux/Win/OSX releases all together, and their Torque Game engine SDK seems fit for this scenario...

    I think we could look forward to more interesting, fun games from the Torque engine in the future. Cross-platform too, woohoo!
