Linux to game developers: No More Excuses
My classic gaming jones lately is insatiable. What's going on on my desktop here? Top left: Alone in the Dark running on DOSbox, Top Right: Legend of Zelda running on ZSNES, Bottom row: Arcade classics "Strider", "Black Tiger", and "Mr. Do's Castle" running in XMAME.
These are all running simultaneously on a single desktop. On a mid-line PC with an AMD Duron, 256MB RAM, and ancient graphics card. Flawlessly, no sound stuttering, no glitches, timing perfect, everything just like they played on their original machines. Not to mention that other users report Battlefield 2, Counter-Strike, Day of Defeat, Counter-Strike Source, Half-Life 2, UT2004, and many others can be made to run flawlessly on a Linux box.
