Quoting: oldrocker99This is grand news. I too bought the game in the 80s (!) and will say that it's worth buying on GOG so you can get the manual.

On Ubuntu:sudo apt install 7kaa
The 80's? Isn't the game from 97? Remember playing it as a demo I got on a PC-gamer CD.
Oops; you're right... :whistle:

It's a fun game, with limited defense characters, and makes you think more than other TD games.

Has anyone else had this crash? The whole computer locks up; ALT_TAB-F1 doesn't work, either. I had to reset the computer.

The crash has happened twice during the narration :huh: and three times in mid-battle :'( . I have tried starting the game without Steam running. Same result. I'm getting frustrated :><: .

I use Tux :wub: (the most recognizable drawing, with a joystick added (GIMP, of course)) for my avatar. I think it's obvious to anyone who looks at the three logos that the penguin <3 represents Linux.
