Free scum of the universe 1.0 software for linux

Scum of the Universe is a space trading game that combines two genres: arcade and strategy. On one side, its a classic vertical-scrolling space shooter game. On the other side, it is an adventure and strategy. You should choose whether youll be an independent space trader, firearms smuggler, fierce freedom-fighter or something in between.

Following the main storyline, you go through the galaxy from one planet to another. Space travel requires fuel, so you need to keep earning money to buy it. You can also buy various upgrades for your spaceship and weapons that affect the arcade part of the game. The storyline itself is not linear. There are also some points where youll need to make decisions that will determine your destiny.

For thousands of years, people of planet Xen have colonized the planets in their galaxy. As time went by, many colonies grew unhappy about their status, as everything was controlled by Xen. Some of them organized military units and declared independence. You can see the status of each planet by "Rebel Sentiment" indicator. Planets with RS higher than 50% are ruled by the Rebel government, and Rebel laws apply.

Trading firearms is legal on planets ruled by Rebels, as they need as much firepower as they can get. On the other hand, Empire forbid all the trading with firearms and other ground weaponry as they wish to maintain their military advantage. One of the ways to make a lot of money is to buy cheap guns at Empire planets and sell them for a lot of money on Rebel planets where demand is extremely high. But be careful as youll need to fight Empire fleet once they find out youre a smuggler.

Beside the raging war between Xen Empire and the rebels there is increased activity of alien species, who destroy human ships. The stronger alien activity, the more waves of alien ships youll need to defeat in each planets outer orbit. Some of the aliens you destroy may drop artifacts (big blue ones) which you can sell at any space station for 20credits a piece.

Universe Crimson is a red theme with some hubble images as the wallpaper, but i like it.

This theme is great, works with every thing, w00t a dark theme that works!

Overgod is a 2D shooter with multiplayer support based on Allegro.
For too long has humanity been ruled by cruel and disputatious gods! Fly through the various layers of the Celestial Oversphere to unseat those who control the universe.
This is my latest game, Overgod. Its similar to my last game, Lacewing, but better in almost every way. Basically, you control a little vehicle in the middle of the screen and fly around and shoot things - a bit like asteroids, but the asteroids move independently and shoot back. You can also upgrade your vehicle in various ways.
Main features:
- Over 100 different enemies
- Lots of randomness and chaos
- Various different modes and unlockable challenges
- 1 or 2 players (splitscreen)
- Pretty low system requirements (about 300MHz is plenty, and it doesnt need any kind of fancy graphics card)
- Days of fun!
It should compile on any platform supported by Allegro. Windows and Mac binaries are provided at the moment, as is source code (its under the GPL). The links are all to sourceforge, which is a little cumbersome, but for various reasons Im releasing this through Internet cafes and the Library so thats what you get. Have fun!
(Thanks to Michael Faerber for helping with Linuxisation and pointing out bugs, and Peter Hull for helping with the Mac version and finding another bug)

The Merchant is a turn based RPG in which you explore the universe and trade to earn credits and experience.

Please play the game and help in the search for bugs.

Thousand Parsec is a 4 Xs game (eXplore, eXpand, eXterminate, eXploit) but it is different in the sense that it is designed for long games supporting universes as large as your computer can handle. (Have a quad Xeon with 4 gig of ram? Well have a couple of million systems in your universe!.

Thousand Parsec also supports long term play with players joining and leaving throughout the game. As well the tech tree is easily expandable and can be extended during the game without effecting anybody already playing (ie introduction of new technology as the game progresses).

You can choose to have highly exotic universes where the laws of physics are totally different or universes that are very similar to our own.

The game is TURN BASED, this means that clicking quickly isnt vital but strategy is.

The game should also be highly extend-able. Allowing player customisation not found in the commercial games.

Anyway we have high hopes for what TP will become. We have currently stolen a lot of ideas from Stars!, VGA Planets an XPace.

BlackNova Traders project is a PHP/MySQL Web-based multi-player strategy game.

BlackNova Traders is a strategy game, loosely based on the old BBS games of Tradewars, Galactic Warzone, and Ultimate Universe, but multiplayer and Web-based. It involves space trading, conflict, and diplomacy.

Two things happend as the game grew in popularity:

-Ron was kindly asked by said hosting service to find other hosting. (at the time the game was serving over 4 million pages a month)

-The fans of the game were begging Ron to release the game as an open source project. (as feature requests and bug fixes were very slow in coming with only Ron working on the code)

So new hosting was found and the game was released as an open source project (originally under the artistic license and later under the GPL).
