The game is really great and worthy to be played. It's even a better copy of the classical arcade game than SuperTux (another Mario like Linux clone game) 1 / 3 Walking in Light with Christ - Faith, Computing, Diary Articles & tips and tricks on GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, Windows, mobile phone articles, religious related texts http://www.pc-freak.net/blog Both Super Mario Chronicles and Super Mario Bros are available for installation as .deb packages in the repositories of Ubuntu and Debian and most likely the other Debian direvative Linux distrubtion. To install and play the games out of the box, if you're a Debian or Ubuntu user, just issue: linux:~# apt-get install smc supertux The other good news are that both of the games's engine, music and graphics are GPLed :) To Launch the games after installation in GNOME I've used the menus: Applications -> Games -> Super Mario Chronicles andApplications -> Games -> Arcade -> SuperTux The games can also be launched from terminal with commands: 2 / 3 Walking in Light with Christ - Faith, Computing, Diary Articles & tips and tricks on GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, Windows, mobile phone articles, religious related texts http://www.pc-freak.net/blog debian:~$ smc debian:~$ supertux The only thing I don't like about Super Mario Chronicles is that it doesn't have a good music and only sounds, just to compare SuperTux has an awesome level music. Along with being an absolute classic I should say that these two games are one of the really good arcade games produced for Linux and if I have to rank them as a gamer among all the other boring arcade games today available for Linux this two ones ranks in the top 10 arcade games prdocuced for Linux Enjoy and drop me a thanks comment ;) ! 3 / 3 Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).
