Bored Games…
It’s been pretty grotty out this weekend, so we’ve pretty much stayed in and tried to entertain ourselves. Not that easy! So I thought I’d dig around and try to find a couple of new computer games for the Linux to spend a few hours on.
Got a really nice surprise when I did though! Someone has made a multiplayer version of Scotland Yard for the PC called London Law! We used to play it all the time as kids, and it was nice to have another go at it, all without having to worry about where the counters were, etc. It seems to play absolutely the same as in my memory too.
The game is set up as a client/server game. One computer acts as a server, and others can connect as a client. In theory they can be anywehere as long as there is an internet connection. And it runs on all sorts of systems with a little bit of work setting things up. Windows, Linux, OS X, etc, etc.
The current version needs at least 2 people to play, but it looks like there is AI support being developed for future versions.
Kept us entertained for a couple of hours anyway!
