Quoting: PitIt's native (SDL 1.2).

Oh, thanks. Removing from my wishlist…

Edit: As someone is bound to ask, that’s because SDL 1.2 blocks alt-tab.

Indeed, that won't work with that game. But there's too many nice games around using SDL 1.2 I wouldn't want to dump because of this....

Quoting: g000hJust wanted to check with you - The Original Strife : Veteran Edition - updated with high-res textures in 2014 - Is that a Native Linux port? Or is it a Wine Wrapper or Dosbox release?

Also, are you playing the GOG or Steam version of this, yourself? (Thanks)

I bought it some time ago. It's native (SDL 1.2). Only played a bit so far, but it rund fine.

Quoting: Guestwhen you sort the Linux games by release date they sort by the Windows release date instead.

Makes sense, in a way...

To me, not....
Similar to the DRM-free tags in Humble: You select Linux game, DRM-free, and are left with a whole bunch of games that are DRM-free on Win/Mac but only have a Steam Linux version...

Yes, some filters could be (a lot) smarter.

QuoteAnd here is another way of solving the issue: a great discount (like, 60%) and the news on the GOG's front page should do the work. :-)

Agree, and they (quite sometimes) do this (e.g., Owlboy recently). Checking discounted Linux games is on my daily GOG tasklist :D

Immediately got it after I discovered it on GOG yesterday evening. Not much to add to what has been said already: Just go and get it. It's worth every cent.
Big thanks to flibitijibibo.

Wow, this really is an impressive list. Looks like more than 50% of their DRM-free games are discounted (although the filter is somewhat flawed).

A lot of those I already own, on my personal list of interest are

Whispering Willows, A Good Snowman is hard to build, Back to Bed, The Way, and Lumo.

A pity the free game is Steam-only.

I seem to remember that Inexor concentrates on the Arena part. Sauerbraten does have some (quite nice) Single-Player campaigns.

Hmm, there's some not-so-good reviews on GOG, accusing it of bad movement control.
Maybe I'll wait for your review, but I'm definitely interested :)
The graphics are really beautiful...

I do believe it, it's also on my top, level with Victor Vran and Bards Tale

Quoting: meggermanWill they play at 1440p fullscreen ? I imagine that they are 4:3 but are they at least fullscreen top to bottom on a 16:9 monitor ?

They do, both on 1440 and 1080. As tuubi writes, this doesn't depend on the game, but on the emulator (scummvm/dosbox).

Well, that's a bit embarrassing.

Hah, at least one "advantage" for the DRM-free crowd: Whether it's only for Macs or only for Steam doesn't make a difference... :P

SCNR and Merry Xmas to all!
