LGP Announces New Competition

Time Doctor writes "Linux Game Publishing announced its new game competition today, wherein an image relating to the game is revealed one pixel a second and competitors can attempt to be the first to guess it. Winner gets the first copy of the game, and the unofficial award of having way too much time on their hands to sit around waiting for pixels to change."

Re:why everyone knows it's the only game available

It is true that there are close to zero good native Linux games. But there is a way to get a huge number of games running.. What you need is:

znes - Play all the good old Nintendo games
epsxe - Play all the Playstation 1 games
xmame - Play all the classic arcade games
dosemu - Most of the back-in-the-day Dos games work

OK, it is not the same thing as native games, but these four (combined with your local friendly p2p network or USEnet) allows you to play A LOT of games on Linux... And btw, epsxe is extra cool if you use those USB to playstation converters which are supported perfectly (I use them for xmame too)

Hey, there are some dang good linux games out there. I just got done playing a couple hours of Scorched3D. I recently had a kick of the development version of UFO: Alien Invasion. My synaptic games list has perhaps 150 entries in it - all free, no effort to install, and while they're not all superb quality, a good number of them are. I mean, even Nethack is starting to look pretty ;) (Vulture's Eye)

And this is just free linux games that I'm talking about here.

The old Cheech and Chong records used to come with a rolling paper slightly smaller than the record sleeve.

For the pot, you're on your own :P
