Kobo Deluxe	-	1999	[b]DESCRIPTION[/b] Kobo Deluxe is a 3’rd person scrolling 2D shooter with a simple and responsive control system - which you’ll need to tackle the tons of enemy ships that shoot at you, chase you, circle around you shooting, or even launch other ships at you, while you’re trying to destroy the labyrinth shaped bases. There are 50 action packed levels with smoothly increasing difficulty, and different combinations of enemies that require different tactics to be dealt with successfully. Kobo Deluxe has an improved graphics engine that delivers smoother animation, while keeping the game logic totally accurate and predictable regardless of frame rate. It also adds sound effects, new graphics, fullscreen mode, four extra skill levels with smoother gameplay and various other features expected from a modern game. (There is still a "Clasic" mode that plays exactly like the original XKobo.) Kobo Deluxe uses SDL for sound, graphics and input, and builds and runs on all major operating systems, as well as some more unusual platforms. It can also use OpenGL for accelerated rendering, through glSDL. In short, Kobo Deluxe is loads of classical arcade style fun for just about any machine with graphics and sound! [b]CONTROLS[/b] The ship can be controlled with the keyboard, or optionally a mouse or joystick. With the keyboard, the arrow keys move the ship (two keys for diagonals), and the shift and ctrl keys shoots. The numeric key pad can also be used; the usual 2/4/6/8 (arrows), and also 1/3/7/9 for single key diagonals. Escape enters the meny system, from where it is possible to change settings, start a new game or exit the game.

Krilo	BlackHoleSun Software	1999	This is a proprietary game. Requires Linux 2.x with glibc 6 and X11, Pentium 166, 24MB RAM, 640x480x16 video, OSS sound, 48MB Hard drive space[spoiler=show ubuntu installation/libpng problems;hide]Krilo 1.3-3 was compiled using libpng-1.0.5 (very old) and apparently does not run with libpng1.2 or later. I was able to force installation this version of libpng from a converted redhat .rpm on ubuntu 10.04. This will overwrite /usr/share/man/man5/png.5.gz, hence the optional 3 step procedure. [code]sudo mv /usr/share/man/man5/png.5.gz /usr/share/man/man5/png.5.gz.bak ##optional backup procedure 1[/code] [b][code]sudo dpkg -i --force-all libpng_1.0.5-4_i386.deb ##required[/code][/b] [code]sudo mv /usr/share/man/man5/png.5.gz /usr/share/man/man5/png.5-1.0.5.gz ##optional backup procedure 2 sudo mv /usr/share/man/man5/png.5.gz.bak /usr/share/man/man5/png.5.gz ##optional backup procedure 3[/code] For obvious reasons, this game should not be tagged [b]ubuntu[/b][/spoiler] Krilo bounces up and down. Can't help himself. The player needs to guide him left and right to bounce of harmless objects and bust into the blocks that have his trapped buddies. Krilo must also pass through color gates by change color himself on a color switcher. [Zerothis]
Xbreaky	author	2000	A very simple Arkanoid type without 'english' (the ball simply stays at 45° angles). However, bricks have powerups of many kinds to enhance gameplay. No intuitive icons for the powerups (and [i]downs[/i]), but they are distinquished by color for type, for instance, all powerdowns are red. A solid effort from a beginner developer. [Zerothis]***A simple breakout clone with powerups (and power[i]downs[/i]). Multiple levels, which are loaded in plain text files so custom levels can easily created.
XInvaders 3D	author	2000	XInvaders 3D is a 3D Vector Graphics Space Invaders clone for X11.***Space invaders done in 3rd person. The invaders still line up in the same formation as if the player's ship were below them as in the 2D version. But the player's ship is positioned between the audience and the invaders, facing the sheet of enemies. Once again, the march left to the edge then right to the edge, getting one step closer each time; but now they move forward instead of down. The UFOs are, however, still behind the enemies. Shoot them all.
XRally	author	2000	XRally is a Linux clone of the classic Rally X arcade game. For those who don't know, in Rally X you control a blue (good) car, that has to collect yellow flags around a maze-like map, while avoiding the red (bad) cars. In order to help himself, the blue car can use clouds of smoke through the maze. If a enemy touch any of these clouds, it stops for a while. The enemy cars can also crash one with the other, what gives you some extra time. XRally is written in C using only the basic Xlib and Xpm libraries. It's a project aimed mainly at newbie X11/Game programmers like me (but any experienced help is appreciated! :) )
Armagetron	author	2000	[media=youtube]BeWp4HtT2GA[/media]***(Ar-ma-ge-tron) Play the lightcycle scene from the movie Tron.

bombardier	author	2001	Drop bombs on the skyscrapers to clear a land area. Your aircraft steadily loses altitude so try not to miss. Explosives will only destroy so much of a building; most will need 3 or more hits for total destruction.
