I guess I'll be downloading it again... is there an unlimited play? I think when it came out I played it for an hour and after that I couldnt join again... (or perhaps my brain was cross circuit)

you can tweak the graphics to be very low... it will look ugly, but it will play :)

more important in my opinion is the internet speed

Savage 2 has been free since December. For $10 you get a premium account which allows you a few extra features: unlimited hellspawns and two extra item slots. It is an online team based FPS/strategy hybrid game that's loads of fun. One player per team is the commander who directs troops in a purely RTS (real time strategy) roll. The other players play an FPS (first person shooter) roll. The game runs very well on Linux.

Thanks. I too have an old C64 bought in 1990 stored up in the attic with loads of games on cassette tapes. Ah, the memories. ;)

This game is fun and it runs very good under linux. Recommended

I still prefer savage 1 gameplay, even though I'm still not very good at it. Added bonus is that it's much less demanding, hardware-wise, than savage 2. The new community-supported XR client for savage 1 recently came out too, and has fixed a few issues I had. Get it from:
