Loki Games for PPC

Posted by justin++ on from the multi-platform-hacking-(and-slashing) dept.

Loki Games and Terra Soft Solutions have announced a partnership where the two companies will work together in order to assure all of Loki's titles run on Linux/PPC as well as the x86-platform. The article says Loki has 8 games lined up for 1999, and some will come out before their MacOS counterparts.

  1. Loki been doin' real good by Ethelred+Unraed · · Score: 3

    I already have a copy of Civilization: Call to Power for LinuxPPC, and it runs great. (You can read a review of it that I wrote at http://linux.macn ews.de/articles/29061999.loki.shtml?lang=english.) Even the sound works, and it was a thrill to see movies in the thing that actually both looked nice and worked. ('Course, I cheated a little and went through and looked at all the movies on the CD. Damn, they're cool.)

    The game was a little slowish at times, but on the other hand I have yet to get 100% real genuine accelerated X going (on a beige G3), so it's probably more my fault than anything. :-/

    It's especially ironic that Mac users who want to play Civ:CTP have to install Linux to do it. :-)

    Can't wait for Myth II...
