Zork Returns! Thanks to Open Source Asterisk PBX
,----[ Quote ]
| Zork is a text-based adventure game that debuted in the late 1970s.
| It became a popular series in the early 1980s with versions for the
| IBM PC, Apple II and Commodore 64 systems. Ditner tried to take
| that game and make it playable over the phone using only your voice.
|
| His effort is called Zoip (a hybrid of Zork VoIP). In order to
| build his phone-based game system, Ditner started with a stock
| Asterisk installation and then added a number of items to do
| speech recognition and text to speech.
|
| In the game, the Zoip system reads out a Zork description using
| the Festival text-to-speech engine. For instance: "This is a
| small room with passages to the east & south. Bloodstains &
| deep scratches mar the walls."

KDE Games Taking Shape for KDE 4.0
,----[ Quote ]
| Our quality standards focus on having resizable, scalable
| interfaces as modern computers now feature high resolution
| screens, and having non-resizable games decreases their
| usability, so now most KDE games use SVG graphics or similar techniques to
| achieve this functionality.

Linux has game

| It seems like every time we turn around on the forums, there is a
| tremendous backlash against the Windows OS and Microsoft as a whole.
| Some of it is even well-deserved - the amount of overhead required by
| the new Vista OS has made many otherwise very usable computers
| completely obsolete, and that's before you spend the money for
| Vista itself. And though you don't have to upgrade, wouldn't it
| be nice to use a current, well-maintained OS?
|
| You can, of course, if you're using Linux.
