Free strategy games for linux software for linux

Super Gamer is a Live DVD that is based on the core of PCLinuxOS. It is put together by Darin, a community member. Darin started out making the Super Gamer for his own, and some friends. Soon others got a copy and decided they liked it.

They jumped onboard to help test and develope. The Super Gamer is optimized for a gaming computer environment, with some tweaks to help speed up running from the LiveDVD. Extra games were added along with some demos of proprietary games. All Games are Linux Native. Users wishing to run Windows Native games, may install Wine or a Wine related application such as Cedega.

Please remember that the Super Gamer is built from PCLinuxOS. For this reason, if you wish to donate to the Super Gamer, you cannot, but you can donate to PCLinuxOS, or buy from On-Disk.

Since the Gamer is developed on the pure core of PCLinuxOS, updating and adding other programs from the PCLOSs repository is completely compatible, and easy.

The game development has been very "test-driven" in the sense that the game quickly was made playable and that features and changes were added and removed continuously during development. This hopefully improves gameplay, but of course at the expense of dramatically increased development time.
Realms of rivalry was never intended to "soothe the masses", but were made entirely to match the game that we ourselves would like to play - something we have done for many, many hours :-) But of course, some of you might enjoy this game aswell, and that is why we decided to share it with you!.
