Cave Story



Free platformer game, plays kind of like Castlevania. Its quite big, and loads of fun.

Oddly enough it causes physical memory dump crashes ever since I installed XP SP1 a few days ago. Maybe its time for SP2.

Hangfire's game is uber slow on my computer.... odd?

[Exilibur]

Oh the memories..!

When i was a kid, that game (and kidpix of course) was the main reason why a mac was so much cooler than any pc...

Very, but then its also odd that it crashes my PC frequently. Google didn't help, and the developer is Japanese so getting tech support from them won't help.

Really interesting documentary on the Open Source and free software. Gave me a lot new reasons to support this stuff.

a quake-based FPS game

Pros:
- it's completely free software, sources to all the maps are available and all the game contents and engine code are under GPL
- Game media files are in Quake3 format, the mod code is QuakeC
- With bots
- Can be run under GNU/Linux, MacOS and Windows

Cons:
- Runs too slow on my computer
- QuakeC is still too limited

Cool
SDL binary seems to run faster than the glx. However...the game couldn't load any textures on freebsd Maybe something todo with the linux emulation.

perhaps the AGP aperture is not set ?

Don't know if it's the same in FreeBSD but in OpenBSD the AGP aperture is limited by default as part of the security policy. Users wanting to get the most of their AGP card can set machdep.allowaperture=1 in the kernel configuration (no need to recompile, you can configure the BSD kernel on the fly).
