Very Computer

Hello,

I've been using Linux on Alpha since late '97.
Now I want to play some network games on this
thing, like Quake I/II or RPGs.

However, I haven't been able to find any that
runs on Alpha. Quake runs on Intel, but so far
no luck tracking down an Alpha version (except
a dedicated server).

Could someone give me some pointers to some
games, if any, that will run on Linux/Alpha?

You should ask this in comp.os.linux.alpha
But ,go to quakeforge.net ,there's Quakeforge.
Then look bug tracking or other discussion groups ,look for Linux/Alpha
problems there's patch for it.
Without patch ,Quakeforge compiles ,but doesn't allow to play ,with
patch you can play.

Also ,in games look www.linuxgames.com ,www.happypenguin.org...

Thanks for the pointers.

I've downloaded the source code, but it doesn't compile.
And I'm not able to find the patch to which you are
refering. Neither in the bug tracking system nor in the
forums. I did see some bug reports for Linux/Alpha,
but no patch.

Do you remember where you found it?
