Quoting: "MaximB, post: 1550"I'll post about it on LGN (we are not dead....yet).

Hey, channelling a bit of the old Caleb there are we? :p

Definitely worth getting for a fixed up DRM free port of Shadowgrounds. I just wonder if it is working on R300g and R600g yet. Considering they both have S3TC available now and Quake 4 and Amnesia are now supposed to be working... :D

EDIT: Damn, does not look like it, at least for Trine:

Crash location is not inside the game binary but possibly your graphics driver. Mesa driver is not officially supported and has not been tested. Can you install proprietary ATI driver?

Please provide your opengl extensions string from glxinfo.

Some good news, even if they do not allow access to the previous bundles Braid will be available independently for Linux:

Hey guys, we will have a public release for Linux available probably at some point this year, but we are waiting on something else to happen to make that work well. More news as it happens.

Heh, torrents are definitely out if you have bandwidth capping. Still, sounds good. :)

*drool*

I missed out on the first bundle, and was going to participate in the second but everyone's credit cards were spent so I ran out of time. So I really hope that they do as they did before and give out the games in the old bundle if you pay more than average again (makes sense actually, as that would probably up the average for each bundle). I already have Osmos of course thanks to Maxim (thank you very much ;)), but I would not mind trying Braid just to see what everyone goes on about (probably the only indie game with more hype surrounding it would be Minecraft).

So, with these download links, do you get to keep the link forever or is it a limited time span? With my internet I would prefer to have them around for a long time. If not I suppose we could download them at either my fathers or my brothers work... damn bandwidth capping! :mad:

Wow, nice collection you got there! Care to post a picture a picture of it?

Before I die I want to get myself a copy of the Quake III Linux Collectors tin by Loki as well as the boxed Linux copies of Quake: The Offering and Quake II: Colossus produced by Macmillan Digital Publishing. As they are getting rarer it would make a fine collection I think. :D

Traditionally Michael Simms and Co. have not had that much luck with sales. Let's hope this one will be different. Too bad we have to budget for needed computer repairs and upgrades at the moment...

Yeah, just read about this on LinuxGames. My brother likes the later game Z: Steel Soldiers, so this might be interesting to try out.

Okay, first off, could you please segment your posts please? That along with the apostrophe thing makes it somewhat difficult to read.

May I suggest next time you have a problem you check to see if Linux Installers for Linux Gamers has an installer for it? They provide installers, usually for older titles, that come with scripts and libraries to make them work without any problems on modern systems.

What would be really great is if we could have a GOG for Linux games, such as the old Loki titles, Hyperion titles, Terminus, and the like. May be too much to hope for, but that would make things a lot easier.

Quoting: "Eddward, post: 1518"I think it's fair to say that Linux distros need to cooperate more on compatibility matters.


Not saying I disagree with you, but what exactly would you suggest they do differently?

On the whole I have not had any real compatibility problems even with really old Loki games, or with more modern games built on other distros (TTimo builds the id games on Debian, for example, and I never had any problems on Fedora). We of course appreciate the broad testing being conducted by the developer in this case, and it certainly will make Monster RPG 2 a better product, but the Linux "distro incompatibility" bogeyman is for the most part overstated. If you use standard libraries (SDL, OpenAL, OpenGL) then for the most part you are golden.
