I know, right?! And it's been around for 26 years.
Wow that brought back some memories! Armagetron and tuxracer were the 3d games to play on Linux and test your graphics drivers. I can’t believe there is still a strong community around this.
Must've been more than a decade ago since I played Armegetron. I spent weeks getting my ass handed to me by everyone online until I finally managed to get some dumps on other players! The skill ceiling in this game is incredible
Wow, I wanna play this
It's free on Steam.
I've been playing it and I'm actually kinda good at it? I crushed some noobs in Fortress today and got a lot of zone captures. And I created !armagetron@multiverse.soulism.net !
This was really interesting, but even after their explanation I have no idea what "rubber" is.
It's your 'shield', driving into a wall is death, rubber delays your death to give you a chance. If you and an opponent on your right hand side drive against the same wall and go left, and you've used up more rubber than they did, you're closer to the wall and killed them.
Are we talking about GL Tron right now?
Yeah, the game is on steam by some other name now which is how most people know it these days.
This game is still a staple at LAN parties. And yes, LAN parties are still a thing.
I used to play this all the time as a kid. need to get back into it.
I mean, chess is an esport these days
Chess isn't a game you haven't heard of. Chess exploding in the online sphere is a relatively recent development but technically chess predates esports over a millenia.
That’s fair
I supposed i focused too much on the word “deepest”
