| Graphical computer games are a part of
| software, even free software. They are fun and
| are useful for making the free software user
| happier.
|
| Michael will be demonstrating 100% free
| software graphical games on 100% free software
| system. There are lots of free software
| graphical games. Unfortunately, many are not in
| a suitable state of completion, are not good
| games or require non-free video drivers. The
| talk will show top quality free software
| graphical games that work well on free video
| drivers.

Announcing Dread Moon Linux / Andromeda
,----[ Quote ]
| Team Allita, Inc. is today announcing the
| Andromeda release of Dread Moon Linux along
| with a support site at http://dreadmoon.com/.
| Dread Moon is a remix of Ubuntu 9.04 that
| provides a complete Linux development
| environment for game and multi-media
| developers. This release is primarily intended
| to eliminate a major roadblock to the
| development of games and multimedia
| applications under Linux that is a consequence
| of the fact that many of the related software
| libraries are not available as installable
| packages.

Machinarium - A Tasty Gaming Treat
,----[ Quote ]
| As the game opens you find yourself broken
| and discarded in the dump outside the city
| wall. Your first task is to reassemble
| yourself. Once that is accomplished, you can
| begin your quest to return to the city and
| your girlfriend. Your adventure unfolds as
| you solve puzzle-like problems in order to
| progress. For example, how do you trick the
| guard to lower the drawbridge? Or how might
| you enter a tunnel that remains sealed
| except for the few seconds when a train cart
| passes?
