Quoting: ripperThey could at least learn saying "Windows".

Exactly my thoughts when I read the quote.

Oh come on, if they want to say PC, let them have it. It is just as meaningless as the whole Linux vs GNU/Linux debate. Sometimes the distinction is important, but most of the time it is not.

Nothing is ever released on Linux until it is released on Linux.

Quoting: srlsboyIt's on sale. 75% off. We will miss it when the port is released.

Nothing is released on Linux until it is released on Linux.

Please do not buy games based on promises or rumours just because they are on sale. In the best case you are depriving the Linux porters of their payment, and in the worst case you are just buying a Windows game.

I am a huge fan of Penumbra series, and enjoyed Amnesia, so I have really high expectations for this one. By the way, Amnesia and A Machine For Pigs should not be mentioned in the same sentence. :P

I wonder if this is actually some sort of "Developer Edition", and if so, how it differs from the consumer version?

I am usually not that focused on graphics, and have nothing against retro look, but this is pushing it. Even among indie games, I would consider this to be extremely niche.

Makes me sad when anything Linux fails, but a website needs to be taken care of and nurtured, otherwise it will just fade away. And that is exactly what has happened. I do hope that LinuxGames contributors and editors will find a new place to write a lot of exciting stuff. Like this one is pretty decent. :)

Been skeptical about this game, but if Paradise Lost is released for Linux, I may reconsider.

Quoting: Beamboom"... Why?" is the question that pops up in my mind. Are people willing to pay for Tetris, Space Invaders, Styx and Pong again too?

... Why?

If it is something worth paying for, why not?

Quoting: LinasJava is not hip or exciting, it is boring and reliable.

Reliability is what I’m worried about. In my experience it is not reliable. For example, Blocks that matter on Steam has never worked for me. Now I know it’s not the case for all java games and some non-java games also do not work… Puppygames makes games in java that work, and they provide everything needed for the game to work. No need to choose and install one of the 4 different java versions on my system.

Yes, it is possible to break Java, but let us judge every game on its' own merit. Or you can just say, hey at least it is not eON wrapper. :) (no flamewar intended)

Quoting: GuestUnfortunately the developer of Slipstream does not provide everything needed (for the demo at least); hopefully that will change for the full release.

Not sure what you mean by that? What is missing? I just started it like "java -jar SlipstreamDemo2.1.jar" and it worked.
