Probably equally amazing is the distribution method: All three games are available for download only (finally big name games available for download!). I'll probably buy atleast some of these games even though I have the old Loki version of the original Kohan - Loki's wern't network compatiable with windows, TransGaming's apparantly are (and its just such a cool game)."
Sheesh (Score:3, Funny)
Deer Hunter? Then Big Game Hunter and Who Wants to be a Millionare.
Why not work on being more compatible with more popular games? I see a lot of games on the list at level 4, but what does that mean really?
To find out I have to make sure that my video driver are up to date (not a bad idea, but not a trivial task under Linux), then get Transgamings WineX installed (another unknown, do I have all of the libraries it needs and up to date?), THEN install the game and see if it works. If it doesn't, spend some more time making sure that I've covered all my bases (that belong to us) before I get replies to my cry for help like "Install the latest video drivers." or "Why would you want to play game X anyway?".
Compared to just keeping a Windows machine around for games (or a Console?) or dual booting.... dunno just seems like an awful lot of effort.
Uhm, this just in!! The entire Kohan series for Windows can be had for $15 more [gamestop.com] than any one of the Kohan for Linux titles from Transgaming.
