I am a staff reviewer for Game Tunnel: The Independent Underground. I also blog about my own indie game development at GBGames' Blog.
I use Debian GNU/Linux as my main operating system, and my goal is to increase the number of games available for GNU/Linux in general.

| Congratulations! I see Proximity is on Jay is Games! | 1208903355 | |
| I'd argue that it still counts. It works under GNU/Linux but requires drivers that can't be prepackaged with the OS. If I choose to install a driver, I don't think anyone can accuse me of doing anything illegal since the GPL doesn't cover what I choose to do with the software, just how I distribute it. | 1193783122 | |
| From the screenshots, it looks like a game of XPilot. Is it much different? | 1181059214 | |
| AngelicLiver: Heh, the music occasionally gets stuck my head! | 1179936662 | |
| Oh, wow, I would say this is a blast from the past, but I'm pretty sure I played it only a few months ago. | 1179519091 | |
| Hah, I just found out about this game this morning. I was already running late for the day job, but somehow played through every, uh, hole. | 1179506933 | |
| ***As I am not making a profit from doing this and that it is made for myself and other fans there are no legal problems.*** Not to rain on the parade, but legally there are problems. What you're technically doing is violating trademark and copyright laws by making this, assuming it is unauthorized. I think reimplementing an engine like this is really cool and a great learning experience, but just know that "not making a profit" isn't a defense if you are distributing it illegally and someone decides to sue. Good luck, and I also chime in with Jomskylark on the "aw just for windows" sentiment. | 1177349703 | |
| I love the fact that I can play it on my GNU/Linux system. Wine compatibility is great, although I did have to work with a No CD crack to prevent the game from thinking that I was using a profiler or something. Once it was working, though, it worked. | 1174329020 | |
| Linux, eh? Nice. B-) | 1171575172 | |
| I was interested in looking at the Forces source code, but the download link doesn't include source nor does the Wiki page actually link to source. There is a forum post, but I did not see a link to the source anywhere in it. Am I supposed to be registered on the forum to see it? | 1171487630 |
