VeeDubb Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 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.

DOlson Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 I hear you can run Google in Linux but you need Cedega and the IE engine to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VeeDubb Posted October 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
