While working on my (not so) secret project, I was digging up and installing 
some really old games.

Most of you are familiar with Tuxracer and its free variants.  The company that 
started it all went on to make a commercial Tux Racer for Linux and Windows. 
But it was a time when most people wouldn't pay $5 for a piece of Linux 
software.  Anyway... I bought the closed source thing... and installed on my 
openSUSE 13.2 box (Nvidia GT240).

If you have 15 min., here's a video of the "real" Tux Racer from Sunspire Studios.

(I was racing as Sammy Seal, instead of Tux)

Not bad for something that's 16 years old.  Audio doesn't work so music is 
supplied by Visual Cliff, enjoy!
