“In recent months LinuxLinks Towers has been consumed
with playing games. In fact, some might contend that game playing
has become so excessive that real life has been neglected to a
degree. We have seen team challenges, leaderboards, and even the
odd wager. Healthy competition to say the least!“Many of the LinuxLinks crew grew up playing games on the ZX
Spectrum, an 8-bit personal home computer. By today’s standards,
the games were simple with basic graphics plagued by attribute
clash and primitive sound generation. However, this did not stop
the best games being incredibly addictive. The famous Crash
magazine (a monthly publication devoted to the ZX Spectrum) used to
rate games by their addictive qualities. This was often the rating
that interested us the most.“The purpose of this article is to identify some of our
favourite free Linux games which have these addictive qualities.
They may not offer breathtaking graphics, innovative ideas, or the
highest presentation. However, what they do provide is great
gameplay coupled with the urge of always having just one more
play.”
