Announcing Ensign 1!

Well, of course there are the id games (Quakes, Doom 3, Return to Castle Wolfenstein), Prey of course, there was Soldier of Fortune from Loki (still available from Fun4Tux and Amazon.com last time I checked), Shogo and SiN from Hyperion (although Shogo has sadly gone out of stock from TuxGames, and the SiN port sucks by all accounts), Postal2 with the various mods and expansions, plus all of those games with source ports. And that is simply off the top of my head.

The game does look interesting, but since this is going to be commercial and we already have plenty of single-player non-death-match commercial shooters for Linux, I do not quite understand your aside. This game is a uniqe take on everything though, like Helena was. So it is nice and different.

I wonder how well Helena did for them in the end. Maybe they should try and sneak it into the current bundle... ;)

Frankly, I am underwhelmed. They should have waited until they could include more games. And I am not particularly interested in the one new game they are offering. :confused:

An interesting note here is that Mac sales in our own store did not go down as a other online outlets like Steam started to provide mac versions; meaning it did not steal our customers but opened up to a new market. We think it is a good incentive for other stores to support Linux as well! - Frictional Games

While they are at it, they should really add screenshots to their game pages.

Looks like Larabel is a little late to the party, guess he managed to clear his head enough of beer to read his inbox:

And you should be happy Liam, no mention of Steam for Linux this time.

We've got plenty more games coming, some never before on Linux, so much to look forward to.

Was there any doubt? I mean, they have an old Loki guy as their main coder...
