PoxNora

Recently, there was a post on Slashdot about PoxNora. They did not mention that this totally Java-based game runs on Linux. PoxNora uses the new JOGL, which allows Java applications to use full 3D hardware acceleration. PoxNora automatically distributes the pre-compiled binaries needed via Java webstart – all players have to do it click the “play now” button. The artwork is amazing, and the game is really very fun. Its a web based multiplayer mix of a turn-based strategy, RPG, and collectable card game. You can also play totally for free.

Sounds about right for slashdot. On the same day as they ignored several dozen of us submitting news of the Cold War release, they had a big feature review of how great Sin Episodes is, which was pretty much the worst game ever.

When you sign up to play the game, there is an Email Opt-In box that is already checked! I think that’s opt-out.

Trying to run this on FC5 with latest Sun JDK. It downloads and runs the installation of components fine, I even get a game splashscreen. But in place of the game I get a white window with a sword shaped mouse pointer.
