I used to play crimson fields on my old pocket PC a couple of years ago, and I just rediscovered it for linux. I have also just discovered that you can play the game via email, sort of like mailing chess moves back and forth with a pen-pal. You select a password and after your turn is finished, it tells you where the file you need to email is. Then we just pass back and forth the attatchments.

I was wondering if anyone was interested in starting a game via email. If enough people are interested, we could set up several games, maybe a ladder.

what is this crimson fields you speak of?

It's a game urza, and another game you might find interesting is called www.google.com
Then you'd find this.

lol...yea...but...im lazy
I was expecting more of a brief description or comparison...something faster than reading the site...but...since you gave me the site...I just looked at the screenshots

looks awesome...I think imma DL it...as I'm bored with all my other games...lol

I hear you can run Google in Linux but you need Cedega and the IE engine to do it.

ooh, this game is awesome...first real turn-based strategy game I've seen that actually needs some strategy...lol
reminds me of fantasy general...except...I could actually win fantasy general...lol

The graphics are 1990, but it's a lot of fun. There's actualy an rpm either on the CD's or on the contrib mirror.

If you decide you realy like it let me know and we'll get a game going.

lol...I like it...but I think I should be able to beat it at least with a handicap in my favor first...lol

im interested.

ciao!
