Tux Racer Makes It To The Arcades

Posted by simoniker on from the reaching-the-kiddie-audience dept.

cybermint writes "Tux Racer, the well-known game starring Linux mascot Tux, has made its way into a redemption based arcade machine, which has recently been released by manufacturers ICE. The arcade version, co-developed by Roxor Games, is much more simple than the original PC version. It has two big buttons, one for left, and one for right. As far as I can tell, there is no longer a way to jump or do tricks. Tickets are earned by collecting fish. Looks like lots of fun for the kids - I'm glad to see the developers have finally found a good market for their game."

    You know a game is looking for mass-market appeal when it features the linux mascot and is developed by R0x0r games. Surely this will have boys and girls of all ages calling things l33t and going open source
