Free, open-source games are hard to write in the first place, and so they tend to have poor documentation. A few games just core dump, like flightgear. I'm using FreeBSD 6.0-B4. Yeah, well, you're on the bleeding edge, so anything you do it going to be less stable. ;) I've been hooked on Simutrans the past weeks. There's binaries online for Windows, Linux, and BeOS. I'm told the Linux version runs fine under emulation. I find it addicting because I'm a total SimCity / Railroad Tycoon freak, and this has the added dimension of very little documentation. :) -danny -- http://dannyman.toldme.com/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Which games are good, and easy to install?
I installed the nvidia driver, and player enemy-territory - which was a lot of fun! Foobillard worked well, too. I started going through the ports installing a lot of games, but some of them required other files. For example, doomlegacy needed a WAD file - so I couldn't play it.

I've always liked things like Rogue, Moria, Nethack, Angband, and Omega, but YMMV. If you want a 3D realtime game, consider games/bzflag, aka www.bzflag.org. [ Their site may be a little flakey right now, I just saw a: Warning: mysql_connect(): Too many connections in /home/groups/b/bz/bzflag/htdocs/document.php on line 5 ...which seems to be a SourceForge issue.] -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
