AROS goes DarkPlaces...

DarkPlaces is an advanced QuakeWorld client, which also has some high profile mods like Nexuiz, or its fork Xonotic.
AROS port was done by Szilárd Biró (AKA BSzili). This version is based on the the SVN rev. 11819 source code.


Nexuiz was originally developed by Lee Vermeulen and Forest ‘LordHavoc’ Hale, who started Alientrap in the summer of 2002. The goal of the project was to create a high quality first person shooter that could be played freely across all platforms in one package: PC, Mac, and Linux. The engine that powered Nexuiz was Forest Hale’s Darkplaces engine.

The first version of the game was released in 2005. Development continued with many online contributors over the years, with version 2.5 released in October of 2009. Since its release it has been downloaded over 6 million times, and is included with many Linux distributions.

DOWNLOAD is available at AROS-ARCHIVES

To play these mods you can specify their name as a command line argument, or simply rename the executable. For example if you want to play Nexuiz, you can start the game from the shell with the following command: darkplaces-sdl -nexuiz.
Or you can make a copy of the executable, and rename it to nexuiz-sdl. If you start the game  from the shell don't forget to give it some stack.

This build should be fairly stable, but Xonotic still has some issues.

About Duke Nukem 3D (Atomic Edition)

Duke Nukem 3D is one of the world's most well know first-person shooter computer game. Originally developed by 3D Realms and published by GT Interactive Software. The full version was released for the PC (the shareware version was released on January 29, 1996). It is a sequel to the platform games Duke Nukem and Duke Nukem II published by Apogee. An expansion pack, Plutonium Pak, was released in November 1996.

Duke Nukem 3D features the adventures of the titular macho Duke Nukem (voiced by Jon St. John), who fights back an alien invasion on Earth. Reception of Duke Nukem 3D has been largely positive. Reviewers praised the interactivity of the environment and the humor within the game. Similarly it was a big commercial hit selling about 3.5 million copies. The game's erotic elements and portrayal of women have incited controversy. After fifteen years in development hell, a direct sequel was released called Duke Nukem Forever.

About Duke3dw

This is a modified version of Jonathon Fowler's Duke3d adding stuff as and when required.
Although it is important to try and keep the game as original as possible it is often necessary to make several changes to improve things which adds to the gameplay.

Bermuda Syndrome - into another world...

Bermuda Syndrome is action-adventure game similar to Another World.

BS starts with you being teleported to a different dimension. Instead of ending up on a barren rocky world, however, you crash your plane into a lush jungle filled with dinosaurs, thereby accidentally saving a princess from a rather morbid fate. From then on you move through the jungle, where nearly every screen is a puzzle on its own. You can jump, climb, duck, talk, use items, shoot, stab, roll - all of which you'll need to get to the end of the game.


AROS Port was handled by Boran Serkan...

Fade2Black - Fading is not an option...

Fade to Black is an action-adventure game released in 1995 for DOS and PlayStation, by Delphine Software International.
It is essentially a sequel to Flashback (aka F2B), written and designed by Paul Cuisset.

The game is displayed in full gouraud shaded 3D for DOS and fully textured 3D for the PlayStation.
Instead a first person view, it's viewed as an over-the-shoulder 3D perspective.
The more approximate style of the game is a Tomb Raider action adventure type game (but this was released before).


F2bgl project is a rewrite of the engine used in the game Fade To Black and is designed as a cross-platform replacement for the original executable. Aros port of f2bgl was done by Boran Serkan.
