Hi Phil, Interesting. Never heard of that game before. Sounds like I'll have to try it out some time.
Speaking of games for Linux this qustion goes out to any Linux user. Since I've been interested in writing games for Linux for quite some time I'd be interested to know precisisely what sorts of games Linux users would be interested in. It might give me some direction where to start. Cheers!
