Building a Retro Linux Gaming Computer - Part 24: Mother Knows Best

My mother's favourite game on Linux is without a doubt Frozen Bubble.

Consider this to be a snapshot in time back to 2002, from right before the game was to take the world by storm.

Building a Retro Linux Gaming Computer - Part 16: We Are All Doomed

By Hamish,
The most appealing aspect of my QDI Advance 5/133 motherboard is its inclusion of AGP, PCI, and ISA expansion slots. By having both dedicated MIDI and 3D acceleration hardware I can dip my toes into two different eras of gaming. As for the actual MIDI tracks produced, well, they have personality at least.
