Break bricks, bounce coins, collect gems, fight bosses, and make a big score in this new arkanoid game.

Bounce coins to get lots of points, but don't take eyes off the ball! Collect the green gems to play bonus levels, collect the red ones to play boss levels. Try to score as much as you can in the bonus levels, but be wary of the paddle jammer. Hit the boss with the ball, but be careful about the items he drops! Pull off tricks with the ball and the paddle to gain extra bonuses!

Additional System Requirements: SDL, SDL_Mixer, SDL_Image libraries, Fedora Core 1 and above (Should run on comparable versions of other distros too).

If you run the game via the script, you need to have gcc installed, as the script uses the output of gcc --version to determine which executable to run.

This is a Linux port of the 1995 shooter, from source recently released by 3D Realms. The game engine is free, but you need datafiles from the shareware or full commercial version to play.

The Story:
You are part of an elite group of operatives called HUNT (High-risk United Nations Taskforce), and you must stop a maniac cult leader from killing millions of people. While scouting a remote island, you are suddenly surrounded by enemy troops with guns blaring. In the distance you see your boat--your only chance to escape--explode into matchsticks. In front of you is a huge fortress monastery, and your only chance to stop the madness. You are e quipped with awesome, high-tech weaponry like heat-seeking missiles, split missiles, and the Flamewall cannon, which leaves a trail of charred skeletons in its wake. You'll also find magical instruments and weapons so incredible they defy description.
