Many of the free games available in main will give you the same feeling when compared with commercially developed games like Quake and cousins. All I'm looking for is a first person perspective game that doesn't strap you on to a seat (e.g. gltron and flightgear). > The author Aardappel has many interesting works for doom and > quake, as well as an impressive list of programming languages > under his belt. > > I'm hoping it will be packaged soon, although I don't think > much has been done to it in a while. Kind of reminds you of a certain highly stable GNU/Linuxdistro? Really, there are tons of DOS or Win 3.1 era games that are infinitely more fun than the latest 3D fragfest. Right now I'm trying out the freeware "beneath-a-steel-sky" (I wonder how it made it into main). > However I suppose with a larger audience... > > If I can find some free time I may package it and have it > sponsored.
