How To Play

While learning the game of Pyrism is easy, strategy can get challenging, especially with different map selections. Each turn you choose a color. All of the Pyrism hex pieces that are adjacent to your current territory that match your chosen color are added to your territory.

You can also try to block each of the computers moves, so he cannot grab as many hexes. Each of these has benefits and drawbacks, try each to see what works best for you!

There are hardly safe places for humans. Little by little, people have left their cities and have gone off to New Jam York to live, a big city cut off pollution, a fortress for the few thousands of humans who remain in the world. City was built by the professor Setag, a great scientist who, at the end of the 20th century, was already an expert in the computer market.

Setag had a secret plan, to create a world entirely dominate by machines. Years went by and the professor Setag added mechanical implant to his body to turn into a no-feelings robot. Setag no longer mind humans who he protected before in his city, and now, he has decided that is time his machines left being slaves to humans to these became slaves to machines. During years, the professor put a virus into all electronic artefacts which he made.

The only hope for the world is Nuts and Scrap, robots of kitchen created in a small independent factory and that has not been infected by the virus. Robots simply will have their abilities and the aid of the main computer of the factory to be able to defeat to Setag and this way to release to the humans.

H-Craft Championship looks surprisingly good for an indie racing game--after all, major publishers spend millions polishing the graphics for games of this type, and its impressive that a small team was able to produce something that looks so nice.

The game is science fictional, in that the racing vehicles are hovercraft that apparently tool along great superhighways in the sky. Also apparently, in the future, road safety is not a major concern of the authorities--perhaps the world is overpopulated and they want people to plummet to their deaths--so that failure in steering doesnt mean, as in other games, that you go off road and lose speed, but instead lose the game.

The main game mode is the championship--a series of events in which victory unlocks more tracks and vehicles. Its a single-player game--no network play--but you can record a ghost of your race and send the file to a friend, so that he can race against your best time, on the same track. Similarly, in Rival mode, up to four players can race on the same track, in succession, against the ghosts of previous contestants, so there is a form of hotseat multiplayer, in any event.

If you enjoy racing games, its well worth a look.

Cedega, TransGamings flagship Linux portability product, allows hundreds of Windows games to run on Linux seamlessly and transparently, right out of the box. With Cedega installed on a computer running Linux, users can simply insert their favorite Windows game CD, then install and play that game just as they would on a Windows system. Cedega can run hundreds of top tier titles on Linux, including blockbuster hits such as BattleField 2, Dungeon Siege 2, Madden 2006, Half Life 2, World of WarCraft, City of Villains, WarCraft III and Star Wars Galaxies, just to name a few.
How Cedega Works
Cedega works by directly loading a Windows program into memory on a Linux system and linking it to a Linux-optimized version of the Win32 APIs. TransGamings Cedega implements common multimedia Windows APIs such as Direct3D, DirectInput, DirectSound and many others by mapping them to Linux equivalents like OpenGL, X11, and the OSS or ALSA sound APIs. Cedega is the culmination of many years of effort on these APIs. The TransGaming Teams knowledge of APIs such as DirectX is probably second only to Microsofts.
The Cedega Experience
Cedega also provides an easy to use interface to manage the games installed on a Linux system, as well as the options that can be selected for each title. Unlike how games are installed on a Windows system, Cedega installs each game into its own separate environment, thereby ensuring that the new game can never interfere with previously installed titles. Removing a game is just as easy - instead of a complex and error prone uninstall process, the game environment can simply be deleted without affecting other installed games.
Also unlike Windows, Cedega allows the user to specify that a game should run in its own Window, instead of taking over the whole screen. Want to keep a window open on your favorite massively multiplayer game while you search the web? With Cedega, doing so is just a click away!
