For this week end only, you can purchase the complete trilogy by Penumbra for just 5 dollars.
- Overture
- Black Plague
- Requiem
All the games have been ported to Linux (so no Wine or anything) and feature a -- reportedly -- advanced physic engine. You can read a review of the Windows version here.
So, if you’re a gamer and want to support the cause of Linux gaming, other than having 3 more high level games to play on your Linux workstation, consider buying a copy. It’s 5 dollars / 3.78 euros.
Share it !
Are you sure that they have been ported TO GNU/Linux, and not just build for all major plattforms?
Anyways, I bough it earlier today, and am a bit prouder being a Swede.
Cheers.
I played the Black Plague demo for a bit today. This game looks pretty good. It seems to run well on my XP2500+ system quite well, so you don’t need a brand new computer to play it, either (it still has to be beefy, though).
I bought the games, too, to spport them. The games run without problems on Jaunty with Ati 9850 graphic.
I also just tried to made this public on our local (German) Ubuntu-Forums, but my entry got deleted without comment. So I guess supporting Linux games is not a very high priority for the Ubuntu officials. Or Helios has been banned from Ubuntu forums cause I linked to his blog entry
Fine, buying. Though I’m all too pre-occupied with http://www.heroesofnewerth.com/ atm.
Well, I wouldn’t mind to buy these games for that price, but I can’t even upgrade to Ubuntu 9.04 thanks to ATI / fglrx…
Wonderful, thank you! I just purchased the game and it’s downloading.
Please keep us informed of more inexpensive and wonderful 3D Linux games!
