I was so happy with having Devuan back on my laptop that I decided to see about getting it onto my gaming desktop. In the past I could never even get the installer to launch for the testing edition and it needed that or higher to work with a newer GPU. I was shocked and happy when it worked and I got Excalibur installed and running. Couple minor hiccups such as having to manually install Pulse Audio and the Fuse libraries so that app images and audio would work but smooth sailing otherwise. Got Devuan 6, Open RC and Mate powering her to go with the Z690 board that uses Dasharo.

🕶️ Its UI with a strategy game. The central part is occupied by a map divided into hexagons with pixelart units. The period is medieval, several Mongol units & a trebuchet surround a castle in the center. The units have an icon for easy understanding (mongol, sword, trebuchet, ..), slightly transparent when not selected. The Mongol on horseback on the right of the castle is selected. The castle (named Elephantine) seems to be under siege. On the left of the UI several command buttons (Sleep, Pillage Pasture, Explore, Wait, ..), below the characteristics of the selected unit (Keshik, 2 stars, XP 5/20, ..), in the lower middle a box with what seems to be a report on the selected unit (Keshik vs Elephantine). To the right of the UI, a message area ("The resistance in Sydney has ended!", ..), lower right a mini map. At the top of the interface a hamburger menu, and near it the title "Mongolia". At the top middle several indicators, the period (1520 AD) and on the right an "Overview" button.

📚️ UnCiv is a ~ libre (icons & sounds not all libre), multi-platform, single-player / multi-player (by exchange of "User ID"), turn-based strategy game (4X) & Empire building, inspired by Civilization V: the game starts in 4000 BC Christ, the player directs a nation or an ethnic group, with the aim of supremacy over the other protagonists, leading his group until 2050 AD. It's a neat game that offers in-game help to get started, solo/multiplayer, map editor and game save / load. Very good!

🕶️ A view of the command interface on the right and for the rest, a bird's eye view of the game map with a castle surrounded by water and a tongue of land leading to it but obstructed by a mountain. We can also see ships whose past or future trajectories are marked by arrows (brown or green), a horseman who seems to be leaving a windmill and heading for a gold mine, and some monsters.

📚️ Heroes of Might and Magic II (Heroes of Might and Magic II: The Succession Wars) is the 2nd opus (released in 1996, by New World Computing) of a series of medieval fantasy turn-based strategy games of the 4X type. Upon the death of the King of Ironfist, his two sons Roland and Archibald fight for the crown. The latter manages to exile Roland and is declared king, while Roland organizes the resistance. Each side is the subject of a game campaign. fheroes2 is a single-player / multi-player engine, libre and multi-platform, compatible and improved (modern hardware support).

I've tried to run it under #Wine, but I could not make it work. The game only runs in some specific resolutions and color 16-bit color depth (which I managed to work around using Xephyr). I managed to install it under Wine and have it run. But I could not go farther than the initial screen.

So I installed #Windows 98 SE into a VM. Since I was at it, I created a #Vagrant image anyone can use. It has working display and audio drivers. Link below.

This way I (and whoever) can quickly launch a VM and install games from this era without having to deal with the quirks or Wine.

Ihr Lieben, ich habe geschrieben!

Das reimt sich nicht nur sondern beschreibt im Kern meinen heutigen #Sonntag.

Wie angekündigt gibt es auf @holarse einen neuen #Artikel über meinen Gaming-Würfel aus dem Hause @tuxedocomputers

https://holarse.de/news/das_schon_lange_verstummte_klingeln_des_postboten_und_seine_bis_heute_andauernden_nachwehen_der

In diesem Sinne: Holt die Lesebrillen raus Leute, der wirre Mensch aus dem Internet schreibt über blaue Lichter und längst vergangene Benchmarks.

Viel Spaß!
