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?
