Quoting: gbudnyI don't know if this patch works with Red Hat 7.3, but it could fix some of the issues.

The changelog just mentions it was "rebuilt using futureproof libraries" so I don't think there were any internal bug fixes and the newer libraries might actually be counterproductive on a retro system.

It reminds me of when I tried installing my Desura version of the Penumbra Collection on a period system that did not have SDL 2 built for it. The original binaries would have ran fine but not the update.

Quoting: gbudnyWhat version of Candy Cruncher did you play?

You can see it in the titlebar of the screenshot. Version 1.51.03 of the game.

Quoting: gbudnyI'm guessing that PenguinPlay can now cause some issues in Candy Cruncher because this website was closed.

The installer that I used patched the game up to just before they added in support for PenguinPlay, so that sidestepped that particular issue for me.

I have never been that invested in competing for the highest possible score myself, but for those who are so inclined, I can definitely see it adding an appreciated extra dimension to the game.

Quoting: BoldosWell UT2k4 "always" had a native Linux build; I believe it was just not added to the official DVDs during release...
(I've had the Linux build on old HDDs somewhere for years...)

Check the back of the box. There is indeed a penguin on there.

Meanwhile I have somehow managed the impossible and have kept my same Arch Linux install going for over a decade now. Luck or dark magic, you decide...

> It feels bad to skip a ND release, especially since this port is built off the original source code

It isn't, it is a reverse engineer just like like the excellent community ports are.

Night Dive has indeed been hindered by licensing issues given the very narrow terms they were offered by Atari, but Fresh Supply has always been something of a bungle, which they are now going out and asking people to pay for yet again.

EDIT: Okay, they are using original source code this time apparently.

I'm still waiting for the first POSTAL Redux to show up for Linux on Zoom (or GOG.com but it is not even listed there) before I would consider buying it.
