Actually.. that's a great idea Luis!
Back in the day (90's) we used to have at least one game presentation a year.  
We have kind of got away from that in the past few years..

I would be willing to demo Scorched3D.  Very cool multi-player, open source, 
modem Gl version of the old classic Scorched Earth.

Although I'm no "gamer".. I DO like the occasional X11 Internet retro game. 
"Retro" internet games (we're talking pre-wolfenstien here) are classic 
UNIX/INet games like Xtank, XPilot, BZFlag.. etc... :)

Cool suggestion Luis..

Let's do it..

Any other Games you all would like for us to set up for?

Steve?  Can we get a small/dedicated switch ad cables for this on 025?
