Thanks for notice!
When Doom originally came out I once spent 12 hours 7pm - 7am, finishing all
the levels with a friend over the office LAN, and intercom. After all, we
were on the same side.
That was the beginning of my LAN playing. It was so much fun that since then,
with the relatively few games I've bought, my dollar is probably exclusively
spent on network capable s/w. Teaming up, and in this case going after the
baddies, is the ultimate experience on computer gaming.
After a quick evaluation I decided to d/l the demo and check it out. It was a
lot of fun! Great graphics and, not too weak of a story. I'd love to see a
map of the labyrinth you go through! Hehe. It's pretty easy to loose your
heading as you descend into this Mars base.
The full version is supposed to run for 20 hours. The demo had me busy for
about 2.
I installed and ran it not as root as they suggested, but as a user. It asks
for the install dir and I simply gave it one of my home dir. The links also
pointed to the home dir. But I ended up entering the sub dir it creates and
execute it from there.
When a game, which I download from the Internet, asks me for the root password
I get very weary, and usually don't. Unless you're playing on a shared Linux
box there's no need to install it under /usr/local/games as it suggest.
