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.

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.

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

Hey, that sounds tempting, but I can not do anything about that right this second unfortunately. If the offer is still available in a few weeks, I might just try my hand at being your Fedora tester. :D

Yeah, that was my thinking to. The problem is Desura has been dragging its feet with regards to porting to Linux for how long? Despite it being the most requested feature by it's user base?

Although not true in this case, the suggestion of something being Ubuntu only because of the software centre is troubling. After all, the Linux market is small enough as it is without dividing it up even more based on distro lines. :eek:
