What's on the CD?
 
 - Over 300 total packages are on the CD-ROM.
 
 - The CD contains games, screen-savers, X-windows background "toys", graphics,sound and other multimedia tools, and a special section devoted to the development of multimedia applications and games for Linux (libraries, documents, etcetera).
 
 - A user-friendly, X-windows based user interface that allows the user to install the packages onto their system without worrying about makefiles, compiler options, and other complicated procedures.  Approximately two-thirds of the packages on the CD are installable (and executable) from within this interface.
 
 - For more advanced users, the other 100 packages on the CD are supplied as-is - meaning that they would not compile or run out-of-the-box on our test machine, or they required extensive user configuration beyond the power of the install program to provide.
 
  
  Featured Titles:
  
 - Quake! - Linux binaries for Quake - requires you to have the data files from the DOS version.  It will even work with the registered version of Quake.
 
 - Abuse - Just like the DOS version.
 
 - Maelstrom - Think of it as a very, very nicely-done remake of Asteroids.
 
 - Net Hack PLUS (for X-Windows)
 
 - Gravity Wars
 
 - SVGALib 1.2.8 - VGA/SVGA development library - this was the one they made the Linux port of DOOM with!
 
 - Multi Tetris
 
 - Mirrormagic II
 
 - XPuzzles
 
 - XEvil - similar to Lode Runner
 
 - XRoach - Roaches run and hide behind your windows.  You can squish them by clicking on them.
 
 - XFishtank - A personal favorite of the developer, this simulates an aquarium with life-like digitized fish images on your root window.  The fish swim along while you get your work done.
 
 - ANSI Draw - Create ANSI screens under Linux.
 
 - CyberPhone - Voice communication over the Internet!  Requires you to have a digital sound driver compiled into your Linux kernel.
 
 - SimCity (Demo) - Demo of Sim City (Classic) for Linux - the full version even allows network play.  Very nicely done.
 
 - ACM - Networked air-combat simulator.  Nice graphics and good gameplay.  Identical to the versions for SunOS, Solaris, etc.
 
 - POVRay (Persistence of Vision) Ray Tracing package - approximately 25% faster than the DOS version on the exact same machine!  Comes with numerous samples, textures, etcetera.  Very nice program.
 
 - XSnow - Make it snow on your root window in X.  Snow even collects on top of your windows.
 
 - Doom - the ever-popular 3D game, for Linux.  Lets you play over the Internet directly, without anything additional such as IHHD.  Not available in the International version
 
 - XGalaga - a very nice port of the old "Galaga" arcade game.  One of the nicer games on the CD.
 
 - XPilot - the popular arcade-style networked game.
 
 - XBoing - don't be fooled by the name, this is an extremely well-done breakout clone that is similar to Arkanoid, yet puts it to shame.  Try this one first if you want to be really impressed.
 
 - XMountains - Renders a 3-D shaded landscape in real-time on your X display's root window.  Very nice background.  Makes people stop and stare at your computer.
 
 - XOj - Yes, O.J. Simpson even found his way onto this CD-ROM.  A funny little cartoon rendition of the L.A. freeway chase, displayed on your X display's root window.  Another interesting way to attract attention to your computer.
 
 - Plus many others including 3-D stereogram generators, CD audio players, MPEG players, WAV players, more games, and of course more valuable development tools.
