,----[ Quote ]
| I find the game very addictive, although I’m a "below average" gamer. I
| always get smoked in single player game even in easy mode. Maybe they gave
| those bots too much AI (hehe). Anyway, I also tried multiplaying over the
| network and I got eaten alive.

| invariably mean commercial games running on a Windows platform. Few

| file server. Even fewer people are aware of the many open-source or
| otherwise freely available games available for Linux.
