Not mentioned in this thread: there are now free resource files for OpenTTD, so you don't need to own original Transport Tycoon Deluxe to play OpenTTD anymore. Also version 1.0 beta was released recently.

Heya,

OpenLieroX 0.58 finally has gotten into the official Portage tree. Current version in Portage is 0.58 beta9. We already released 0.58 rc1 but it will be updated soon and 0.58 beta9 almost doen't differ from 0.58 rc1. Btw., it would be nice if some non x86/amd64 users could try this. Earlier versions have at least also worked on ppc but I don't have the hardware anymore to try myself.

We also made a new release: 0.59 beta3. This is really a beta release. Many crashes and problems are known. So if you have problems with it or don't like unstable software at all, 0.58 is for you, not 0.59.

However, 0.59 has some huge impressive improvements and additions. Basically, it has all of Gusanos added. I.e., there are Lua scripted levels and mods now, crazy graphic & light effects and 3D sounds. Take a look at the official announcement for some more information. Or take a look at this or this Youtube video, or this.

There is also an ebuild for 0.59 beta3. Other downloads are here.

If you have any questions or comments, post here.

Just wanted to let anyone, that might not know, that there is an excellent baseball simulation game that runs natively on linux. It is called Out of the Park Baseball. It is very reasonably-priced, and does not require the use of Wine or other workarounds.

I am currently running it on Gentoo flawlessly. There is a new version about to be released within a few weeks.

If you love baseball, you owe it to yourself to give this a try. If you love native linux games, please give it a look. It can be easily found doing a search for "OOTP".

Is a real mahjong (not the solitarie stuff that's often confused with it) with network support and no ebuild yet.

Frogatto 1.0 has been released, under a free license (code is GPL).
A really neat platform game, with classic feeling... and amazing pixel art work.
Compiles and works great on my gentoo... but no ebuild yet.

Hey guys,
I am a Gentooist and an Ubisoft employee. We have ported one of our game called From Dust to Native Client, which means that it can be played on Windows / Mac / Linux, within the Chrome browser. The downside is that it's still a Ubisoft, commercial game so unfortunately not free (in either sense), but well, if it can bring more people on linux, or at least break the myth that decent games don't exist on linux, thats still better than nothing to my mind...

By the way, for those of you who wouldn't know what native client is, it's a project of Google that permits to run native code inside your browser, which means that the game will run inside a tab of the browser. The game as been recoded using portable libraries so that it can be run on the 3 platforms... and I don't know what else to add.
