Politically incorrect, full of female objectification, and featuring more cheesy one-liners than the script of a straight-to-VHS Jean-Claude Van Damme action film. With 36 course littered with more than 3000 items to crash and smash, plus 16 upgradeable vehicles, each made up of 40 “deformable pieces” for ultimate on-screen obliteration, FlatOut is flat out one of the best raucous racing games available on Linux.Īlso check out Flat Out 2, released in 2011 and costing $9.99.īuy “FlatOut” on GOG Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition But FlatOut was one of the first, and even today remains one of the best. Virtually every racing game (at least those worth their tread) implements an element of off-road mayhem. Its premise - carnage, destruction, more carnage - reads fairly standard these days.
Almost as traumatic as being a driver in it must be. Trying to condense why FlatOut is a classic demolition rally game into just a few short sentences is traumatic. Unbuckle up and prepare for one bad-ass and throughly bumpy ride. Now to hark back to rainy days spent cooped up inside, eyes firmly fixed on a CRT monitor… FlatOut But for those either too young to have experienced some of these games for the first time, or old enough to level up nostalgia, it’s a great jumping in point.īecause we know it matters to some of you, we’ve listed the ‘port’ type for each entry, so you can avoid Wine or DOSBox where needed.įinally (though it really should go without saying) if you’re looking for full HD immersive 3D worlds with GPU melting graphics requirements, this is not the list for you. It’s not comprehensive, it’s not definitive and it’s certainly not going to be the five you’d pick. Last week we asked our Facebook fans which five games being sold by GOG they consider ‘must have’ titles.Īfter pruning the titles often found warming the shelves of the Humble Bundle (e.g., Uplink: Hacker Elite, Darwinia, Don’t Starve and Anomaly Warzone Earth), and throwing in a free title for good measure, we came up with the following list. But the company says this is only the first wave and that another 50 games are set to land later in the year.
Article taken from Linux gamers will have seen last week as a good one, as rising game distribution service GOG.com brought a batch of more than 50 classic PC and indie titles to the platform, many for the very first time.Īgainst the 775 DRM-free offerings offered to Windows users, not to mention the 600 strong Linux catalog on Steam, it might not sound like much. You can find it on GitHub, Arch/Manjaro users can grab it from the AUR. The developer has plans to extend Minigalaxy, for updating games and actually remove games once installed. The key point here about Minigalaxy is that it's streamlined. You could use Lutris, but Lutris does a lot and can be confusing. So it's good to see someone else come along to try and smoothen-out the process of getting GOG games on Linux (other than downloading from GOG directly). It's comparable to Games Nebula, another open source GOG client for Linux although that hasn't seen a released since June 2018, sadly. A little rough around the edges, but once this gets further along it could be a nice little GOG client for Linux users.
You can pick your language, adjust install location, search and a bit more. It's being developed by Wouter "sharkwouter" Wijsman who also works on VaporOS, a special build of SteamOS with a ton of extra enhancements.Ĭurrently quite simple, it allows you to login and access your entire GOG library to download and play. Find getting your Linux games from GOG a bit of a hassle since they don't support Galaxy on Linux yet? Enter the free and open source application Minigalaxy.
