    Tux racer?

    Also the LInux version of Doom 3 can be gotten for like just a few bucks at the right places.

    edit: ABUSE !!! find that game!

    Never mind... I found abuse and tuxracer, freshmeat is great. Hopefully I can get them running.. I don't need any other software other than sdl (which I have), do I?

    Sorry not much of a linux person. I just know both those games are cool. Abuse is alittle dated but great fun. Tux... well you can't go wrong with Penguin racing.

    I dl and installed the abuse sdl one from freshmeat... it requires the purchased abuse or shareware. But then I saw that it could also use the new rewritten abuse (open source), which has alot more levels. and can be found here:

    I downloaded the linux version from that link I posted earlier, but when I extracted it to a folder there doesn't appear to be any way to install it... no configure, makefile, doinst.sh, or anything that apparantly is the way to install. How do I install it?
