The flexibility of the engine resulted in a number of forks, the most notable being AssaultCube, a standalone tactical spin off which still sees active development.

AssaultCube is still quite fun. I have just noticed that AssaultCube has been released on Google Play for Android for free. Interesting...

Yeap, I played entire Unreal and Return to Na Pali as an UT99 mod on Linux natively back in 2011. I even had a sound delay related with Alsa or OSS that I fixed near the end of the first game. Fun times..

Will there be a Rune review on legacy and modern hardware?

Quoting: dziadulewiczHow to ignore (blacklist) a developer (Eggnut) on Steam? I can only find a way to blacklist a publisher?

Yeah, I couldn't find it either. It looks like there has to be specific dev or publisher page to be able to ignore it, otherwise there's no way.

And I decided to blacklist them, they can kindly piss off.

Quoting: slaapliedjeI have been tempted so many times to order an AmigaOne X5000... but now they are kind of hard to find a full one in stock.

Well, if you're rich enough you might want to be quick as A-EON's x1000, x5000/20, x5000/40 and A1222 machines' CPU manufacturer NXP discontinued production and support for CPUs of those boards. Hence, it'll be (or even already is) extremely hard to find one.

Though it looks like neither AmigaOS 4.2 nor MorphOS support basic modern features like 64 bit and SMP that makes all AmigaOne machines underpowered/underqualified for modern applications and overpowered for classic Amiga/Commodore applications. Well perhaps some people would like to surf internet, get benefit from basic multimedia and use basic productivity software while being able to natively enjoy classic Amiga/Commodore games. Maybe... :-)

Quoting: slaapliedjeFun thing about non-x86 architectures is all of the open source reimplementations for games can now be played on them (for the most part. I don't expect anyone to have the hardware to run OpenMW on an Amiga...)

Later iterations of AmigaOne look to be par with minimum requirements of OpenMW; especially AmigaOne X1000 and AmigaOne X5000/20.

• X1000: 1.8 GHz Dual-core PPC CPU + AMD Radeon HD 6000 GPU


• X5000/20: 2.0 GHz Dual-core PPC CPU + Radeon HD R7 250 GPU

Quoting: HamishLast time I tried to install Heretic II on my modern Arch Linux system it worked fine in Software but would crash with OpenGL enabled. Not sure if Lutris includes a fix for that or not.

Yes, native version of the game can be run with OpenGL renderer on modern distros via Lutris script.

There is a great Lutris installer for native Heretic 2;

Quoting: Liam DaweIn this case though, I agree now it's a bit different given they did previously support Linux.

Thanks for understanding. :-)
