I use linux because, in the 90s, Redhat shipped with a Star Trek game. We are not the same.
I use Linux because of compiz fusion cube desktop. We are not the same.
We are not. When I want a cubic desktop environment I reach(ed) for BeOS.
and NeXT for the cubic computer itself
Tux Racer go brrrr
Oh, I hadn't thought of Tux Racer in ages. I think I need to play that again.
Tux racer go b.....r......r........r
I only had access to ex-corporate office hand-me-down motherboards as a kid. This was about 1 potato per 3 seconds of rendering performance (I'm 34)
It did? Which one?
I've been trying to remember but it hasn't come back to me. It was a 2D, top down, space battle game. Its possible it wasn't named after Star Trek, but you pilot a grey ship with a saucer section and nacelles to fire torpedoes and phasers at green bird of prey looking ships so...
Netrek?
No, but it was my gateway into Netrek.
Xtrek would be what pops to kind for me, possibly?
Was it Empire?
That all sounds very familiar. The one I played was full color but it must have either been a late version of Empire or something heavily "inspired" by it.
I think my mother played that star trek game on a time shared minicomputer.
