Ian Bonham grew up with the ZX81, the Com64, the Sam Coupe (remember them?), the Amiga and remembers what drove him to get those machines: "There were some bloody good games! Yes, they were simple, but they were good."
ID software have been gracious to release their old games to the community,
but for the latest "killer" games you need Windows.
I really believe that when we get our act together and launch a game-based
distro, we will be home and dry.
We need some "killer'"games on the CD. We need the source for the games on
that CD. We need that CD in places like Electronics Boutique and GAME. We
need kids able to pick up that CD (or DVD, with respect to another learned
friend posting here) and turn their PC into a games console, without ruining
Mum's or Dad's official documents.
As those games are played, kids will be encouraged to learn how they work and
maybe work on their own. AMOS and Blitz basic on the Amiga formed a huge
range of great games, but getting people learning C++ from an early age would
lead to great things for the future, I'm sure.
Linux games sites at the moment... (more)
