[span style=\'font-size:14pt;line-height:100%\']SDL Scavenger 1.3.7[/span]

rocksndiamonds_3.2.2_armv5tel.ipk

[span style=\'font-size:14pt;line-height:100%\']Rocks'n'Diamonds 3.2.2[/span]
-- Absolutely the most comprehensive Boulderdash game around. In fact, it is not a clone but a game in which you can play different Boulderdash games.
-- Homepage: http://www.artsoft.org/rocksndiamonds/
-- Depends: sdl sdl-mixer
-- Note: The game displays in a unconventional 672x560 resolution. So a bit of the graphics fall out of the screen edges. The fix needs substantial resizing of the graphics and a bit code modification. Still playable, though. Tons of new levels with large varieties are available to try.

[span style=\'font-size:14pt;line-height:100%\']Bluemoon 2.9[/span]
-- This 52-card solitaire starts with the entire deck shuffled and dealt out in four rows. The aces are then moved to the left end of the layout, making 4 initial free spaces. You may move to a space only the card that matches the left neighbor in suit, and is one greater in rank. Kings are high, so no cards may be placed to their right (they create dead spaces). When no moves can be made, cards still out of sequence are reshuffled and dealt face up after the ends of the partial sequences, leaving a card space after each sequence, so that each row looks like a partial sequence followed by a space, followed by enough cards to make a row of 14. A moment's reflection will show that this game cannot take more than 13 deals. A good score is 1-3 deals, 4-7 is average, 8 or more is poor.

-- Empire is a simulation of a full-scale war between two emperors, the computer and you. Naturally, there is only room for one, so the object of the game is to destroy the other. The computer plays by the same rules that you do. This game is the ancestor of all the multiplayer Empire simulations out there.

(Deleted as the full package can now be uploaded in one post)

[rgrep]

Great work ZDevil!  Your latest batch of packages have inspired me to finally release a game I patched and packaged up a number of months ago but never got around to posting:

Anyone remember that old game from 1992, Flashback?

It used to be my favourite game back in the day and I was thinking one day that it would be cool to get it to run under dosbox.  Thankfully some nice chap has rewritten a portable SDL version of the engine that powers the game.  So no need for emulators, the game runs at full speed on the Zaurus!

REminiscence is a Free implementation of Delphine Software's Flashback engine and is capable of running any game based on the Flashback engine.

This version has been patched to compile for pdaXrom and run fullscreen.

To play Flashback you'll need to get the original Flashback game data files as these are not Free Software.

IMPORTANT: This package DOES NOT contain the data files required to run the game.  See /usr/share/doc/reminiscence/README.pdaXrom for more information.

The game is now labelled as "abandonware" and is available for download from a variety of web sites.  Please note that it is NOT Free Software so you might be breaking the law if you acquire it in this manner.

See the attached screenshots which were taken on my Zaurus.

The package is also available from my unstable feed.

REminiscence also supports playing music in the game by using the MOD music files from the original Amiga version of the game.  The MOD files can be downloaded from Unexotica (see link below).  Simply place the MOD files (e.g. mod.flashback-ascenseur) in the same directory as the data files (i.e. /usr/lib/reminiscence/flashback).

http://www.exotica.org.uk/tunes/unexotica/.../Flashback.html

The MOD files are provided in an LHA archive.  Please let me know if you have trouble extracting these files and I will make them available in a more modern archive format.

Please note that there are some minor glitches in the cutscenes (objects compressing horizontally to a single pixel).  This has been apparently fixed in the unreleased version 0.1.9 of REminiscence.  I will be contacting the author to see if this patch can be released.

Cheers!

Matt

Nano version 2.0.2. I find Vi difficult to use for fixing text files I screw up outside of X that cause X fo stop working. Nano is much simpler (in my opinion). Enjoy!
