You have an impresive
set of games available for your Mandriva Linux system. Install
the frozen-bubble
, supertux
and kdegames
packages and access them through
the menu. Here are some of the
options:
This arcade-type game consists in firing colorful bubbles to build groups of at least three-of-a-kind bubbles. Once you get three, they fall and off you go shooting at other bubbles before your time runs out. It features 100 levels for a one-player game; finish the level quicker than your opponent in 2-player mode. Great stereo music and sound effects. Don't make that little penguin at the bottom of the screen cry!
Access many free-software clones of popular games, like KAsteroids, KTron and KSirtet.
One of the most interesting games is a clone of Super Mario called SuperTux. It features Tux the Penguin as he tries to save his beloved Penny from the arms of his arch-enemy, Nolok. The first milestone of this game features 26 levels and 9 enemies which you must help Tux jump over, squash or shoot at. Try out the 2 bonus levels and you can even draw up your own levels with the level editor.
Play classic board games such as chess, backgammon and battleship! Some games are network-enabled like chess (check out the Free Internet Chess Server (FICS) for instance).
Bored out of your mind? How about a quick game of patience or poker? Start off your KPoker game with a 100$ and... try not to lose it all!
Spend a few minutes (or a few hours...) demystifying games such as KSokoban, KAtomik or SameGame.
