Someone should post a comment about the Linux port.

George,

I'm sure they'd be happy to hear from you personally, too. A lot of their articles get noticed by software authors who come and talk to people.

I just kind of gushed a bit myself; feel free to join the discussion!

:lol: If you click on the "Nethack" link in that review, the first other game mentioned in the Nethack review is... Battle for Wesnoth... :lol:
If anyone has been wondering where i've been gone, its there. I'm jumping around between 3 games, and 4 mods, so I've been busy. I'll probably be back here by the end of January...

BTW
Their version of it is out of date- the most recent is 1.5.7, and the stable version is 1.4.7
Also their link is broken...

Wow, I'd say that is a really nice review. A little short on the imagery, though. One site that does have lots of nice screenshots is Abandonia Reloaded:

This is where I first discovered Transcendence (and I'm so happy I did). Someone (more qualified than a mere Anarchist like myself) should definitely post a new update, since the last was done around v95(!). Also, please tell them the game doesn't require DirectX 9 - I've been using an old Dx7 laptop for years and, though I might be missing out on some great graphics, Transcendence is still my favorite...

To borrow from Stormhawk: This *is* our game, and George will always be our hero.
Thank you, George.
