Quoting: kaimanI already wondered why Darklands showed up as new, because if I'm not totally mistaken it has been on GOG for quite some time. Being a DOS game, running it on Linux shouldn't have been an issue either, but nice to see explicit support.

That said, for a brief moment I was tempted once more to buy it, because boy was I looking forward to this game in 1992! Unfortunately, the Amiga version was cancelled, and I never got the chance to play when it was fresh. Nowadays, just looking at those low-fidelity graphics and barely legible font, I am not sure if it would live up to my expectation. Though I don't think any of the games published by MicroProse ever disappointed.

But no, unless someone convinces me otherwise, Darklands will always remain one of those great games I've never played.

I just hate it when a FOSS app goes proprietary for reasons such as him being upset about it being in distros repositories. Why did he bother making it GPL if he didn't want it distributed and modified in the first place then?! :><:

Also, Krita seems to do okay with sales, so Aseprite's dev's argument about open source hurting his bottom line is crap! He posted a huge talk about it years ago, which I'm too lazy to look up. Why does he think we call Linux based OSes "Distrobutions"?

Sorry :S:, had to get that out of my system. Politics aside it is a good program, just haven't used it in a while.

Totally agree. Fortunately, somebody forked it on the last commit before the license was changed. It's called LibreSprite [External Link], and it's what I've been using.

True, but see this [External Link].
