QuantZ for Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| After month of development, QuantZ is now
| available for Linux. For the record, QuantZ is
| a fun and innovative 3D puzzle and action
| game. In QuantZ you have to control a cube
| with your mouse and launch marbles onto it,
| create explosions of color, chain reactions
| and try to clear the cube using as less QuantZ
| (Marble) as possible!

Retro gaming: Dosbox v ScummVM â Who is the champion?
,----[ Quote ]
| The idea that Linux users would want to play
| old MS-DOS games might seem strange to some,
| whats even stranger for me is the fact that
| this task needs similar software to do exactly
| the same thing under the latest Windows
| versions.

Puppy Linux â Puppy Arcade 5 Super Fast Game Emulator
,----[ Quote ]
| We love Puppy Linux in every form. Puppy
| is fast and light on its feet. The
| addition of games is a fun way to take
| advantage of the nimble Puppy platform. If
| you are a fan of 80âs style arcade games,
| Puppy Arcade is probably the best platform
| for you. Running your games in RAM,
| without ever touching a hard drive, will
| be a cinch with the ease of Puppy Linux.
|
| If you are new to Linux and want to
| experience the sheer speed and fool-proof
| power of Linux, Puppy is the way to go!

Puppy Arcade 5 & Q&A with Scott Jarvis â The puppy goes retro!
,----[ Quote ]
| What was your first computer? For me I
| started my computing life with a ZX
| Spectrum. A rubber keyed marvel with a
| massive 48k memory. It makes me feel
| rather old to think that there are a
| generation of computer users who have
| never experienced loading software from
| tape.
|
| It was only fitting then that my first
| experience of emulation came some years
| later when I owned an Amiga 500 and a
| Spectrum emulator. Moving on some years,
| my first emulator on the PC was the
| Windows binary Genem which only reached
| v0.19 and has been discontinued since
| 1997.

A Bit of Welcomed Scumm on Your Linux Machine
,----[ Quote ]
| This might make me sound like an old fogey, but I
| really do miss the old games like Space Quest,
| The Curse of Monkey Island and Return to Zork.
| The problem isn't that I don't have the games
| anymore, but rather that they were designed for
| my 386 computer running DOS. Thankfully, I'm not
| alone in my fits of nostalgia. The developers
| over at www.scummvm.org have reproduced the
| âScript Creation Utility for Maniac Mansionâ
| developed by Lucas Arts and packaged it into a
| virtual machine (thus, ScummVM). That virtual
| machine is open source and available for just
| about any platform you can imagine.
