While changing to a great OS like Ubuntu , I had to make some sacrifices , one of them being : less gaming. I'm not seeing I ended my gamer " career" , buy i start to look for smaller web games , or testing the big LINUX games that everybody was talking about. ( Tremoulos,Quake Wars,Nexuiz,Battle For Wesnoth).

But until recently my gaming experience was not fulfilled. The graphics was poor, the sounds were not even interesting and overall the games sucked big time.

Recently I came across this jewel , that nobody seems to talk about. AstroMenace = the first true Linux Game.

The concept is old , and it reminded my of the old console games , but the way you can customize your ship , like an RPG , the graphics, the atmosphere,the asteroids, the mother ships.. so much ,all of a sudden.

This post is a tribute to this game : and in a few words and pictures I will try to explain my self.


The second menu you will see in the game is the Mission Menu. It's simple , with a small description preparing you for the battle that's gone come. The tips are very useful and i suggest to read the help menu while playing. The learning curve is a few hours but it's totally worth it.

Next you can admire in full details the ships you have at your disposal. There are a bunch of them with all kind of information. Each one has special abilities and they are suited for special mission. The good thing about this game is that you don't have to loose money when you change ships or pieces.



You can change and buy weapons , upgrades and repair the ship. The money system is perfect because you can choose to change the upgrades as much as you like. You can have up to five weapons depending on your ship. There are 5 classes of weapons , and each of them has a special way of firing.


With all this being said i leave you with a small number of pictures from inside the game hopping I've around your interest. Also you should watch the youtube video to get an idea about the feeling you gone have while playing.
