Ok, I've updated the page yet again, trying to improve things such as I could, time permitting.

Leber: I would like to rewrite the whole thing to be more condensed and structured (and using images), much like you say, but I just don't have the time to do that at present. So, as usual I'm trying to shoehorn something into being "less bad" so I can get back to working on the other 10 fires ;).

Anyway, continued feedback welcome. Hopefully it's better than what we had before, since I just pushed out the newspost to 10 different gaming-news sites.

Much improved. You emphasize your strengths, and are honest about the weaknesses without calling attention to them. I like it.

Agreed. I think that strikes a good balance. Nicely done.

Vendetta Online was the first game to ever ship in widespread retail distribution featuring the Linux mascot on the box, indicating it as an officially supported platform.

uh ..ut2004 had a penguin on the backside :P

spuck: Really? hmm. Well, that would beat us by a few months. Did they include the Linux version on the CD and all?

I believe they did. I can dig mine up to verify if you want.

I don't have the game but there was a bit of noise about it at the time.
EDIT: oups that's the special edition. but I definitely remember some articles about it

Heh, Tux got a lot more real-estate on our box than on theirs. Oh well.

[EDIT]: Anyone know what happened to Happy Penguin? It seems to be down. Has it been gone for awhile? I haven't tried updating there in some time.
