LinCity-NG is a city simulation game. It is a polished and improved version of the classic LinCity game. In the game, you are required to build and maintain a city. You can win the game either by building a sustainable economy or by evacuating all citizens with spaceships.
Release notes:
This version theoretically supports OGLES rendering. It doesn’t try to create the context if this is deactivated (default)
Who wants to experiment with the GLES can set Opengl to “yes” in the userconfig.xml file in the appdatafolder of lincityng. (Not recommended, as it is very crashy)

GNUjump is a clone of the simple yet addictive game Xjump, adding new features like multiplayer, unlimited FPS, smooth floor falling, themeable graphics, sounds and replays.
Following things don’t work:
– Don’t try to change the theme in the game. It will lock up. In mini menu you can still quit it with the Pandora button, in XFCE you have to reboot.
– Some other menuoptions do the same, mostly graphic options. If you want to try other themes or options, you can enable them manually in the config file in appdata.
