Quoting: PenglingI don't think that I was wrong to pick up Timon & Pumbaa's Jungle Games [External Link] instead, though!

I cut my teeth on a keyboard using Disney's Adventures in Typing with Timon & Pumbaa back in the day.

Quoting: IggiI should emphasize that the quality of the video (when watching the complete movie) is just abysmal :grin: With a resolution of 224x168 (!), massive compression artifacts and sound with static noise where it's hardly possible to understand some of the characters it must have been way worse than even the VHS release...

Someone uploaded the MOV file to YouTube, and the comment section is both endearing and baffling; all these people being so glad to have finally found this movie again. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug...

Quoting: IggiIt's still an interesting addition to Linux gaming history, but if you really want Interactive Storybooks for your children I'd recommend to play the games from Humongous Entertainment or Living Books using ScummVM...

Yep, I remember the Drayton Valley Public Library had CD-ROMs of Ruff's Bone, Arthur's Teacher Trouble, as well as Star Trek: Voyager - Elite Force to borrow when I was a kid. What a great time to be alive.

My brother is poking me to mention that ReflectionHLE also supports Linux:
https://catacomb.miraheze.org/wiki/ReflectionHLE [External Link]

As well as the Catacomb games it also works with Keen Dreams, Wolfenstein 3D, Spear of Destiny, and Super 3D Noah's Ark.

Quoting: gbudnyThe result of Benchmarks is interesting to me.

All dependent on the hardware and drivers used of course. I will note though that the period Linux Games review I linked was ran on a computer using the original Radeon DDR card which while more powerful would be using basically the same drivers I have been using with my Rage 128 Pro.

Quoting: gbudnyDo you plan to write the article about Devil whiskey for Linux?

I had never even heard of this game before, so thanks for the suggestion. I will certainly consider it. :smile:

Quoting: gbudnyYou forgot to mention that Sin was ported to Linux PowerPC.

Not so much forgot as it was not directly relevant in my case, but it is still cool to know for those with an interest in such hardware. Same with a lot of the Loki Software games.

Quoting: gbudnyYou can also use Mac OS X 10.6 with Rosetta to play Wages of Sin on the intel Mac from 2010 (or Mac Pro 2012) or earlier. I didn't tried myself.

Considering I already had to install SiN on Windows 98 for the benchmarks I just went ahead and started playing Wages of SiN from there. I managed to find a loose Wages of Sin jewel case at a Goodwill while thrifting a few years back.

Quoting: LightkeyOkay, now you've lost me again, guess it is a different title.

Enjoy the mystery. All will be revealed! :whistle:

Quoting: LightkeyI must say I'm surprised I didn't hear of the next title before (I think I found the right one searching the interwebs) but that's always welcome.

It pays to sift through eBay listings sometimes.

I have another four articles pretty much drafted so I will be going back to a weekly schedule for these at least until February comes around. We'll see if I can match what I managed this time last year.

So if anyone wants a better look at the packaging you can watch this video from ShooterGameBox:

Just playing the game from Steam is cheating of course... :whistle:
