Tux Racer Makes It To The Arcades

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."

Oh the irony

[Kethinov]

Unless I'm missing something, I find it ironic that Tux Racer is a nonfree game. Isn't Tux supposed to be something of a mascot for free software? Tux Racer seems just as contradictory as something like "GNU Racer" featuring the GNU mascot. I'm not much of a gamer anymore though. If it does happen to be free and I'm just missing a few marbles, please correct me.
