Here is a blast from the past…way back past…
I loaded OpenSuSE 11 on my G4 Cube and remembered I had a few of the old Loki Games. Here are the games with ports to Alpha/PPC/SPARC:
- Civilization: Call to Power
- Myth II: Soulblighter
- Railroad Tycoon II
- Eric’s Ultimate Solitaire
- Heroes of Might and Magic III
It is mind boggling that at this point in Linux history (2000-2002) that someone decided to port these! The great thing about GCC and SDL is cross compiling is pretty simple. With that said supporting these must have been a nightmare for Loki.
