NAME

       armagetronad - a 3D Tron-like high speed game

SYNOPSIS

       armagetronad  [-h,  --help]  [-v, --version] [--doc] [-f, --fullscreen] [-w, --window, --windowed] [--fastforward] [--benchmark] [--record]
       [--playback]

DESCRIPTION

       The rules are simple: you ride a lightcycle (a kind of motorbike that can only turn 90 degrees at a time, leaves a wall behind  and  cannot
       be stopped). Avoid running into a wall. Make your opponent run into a wall.  This idea comes from the 1982 Disney movie "Tron".

       One  thing  is  different than in other Tron clones: you can accelerate.  However, there is a catch. The only way to accelerate is to drive
       close to player walls. This allows for some interesting tactics. Every time you make a turn, you lose 5% of your speed -- so don't  be  too
       nervous, speed is your only resource against other players!

       First  thing  you shold do is go into the "Player Menu" to set your name and your keyboard and mouse configuration. Then, go into the "Game
       Menu" and start a single player game against one AI opponent (the game mode does not really matter here). Then, get some  friends  together
       and try the multiplayer modes!

       SHIFT-ESC is the "boss key" and quits Armagetron as fast as possible.

NAME

       lincity-ng - City simulator game with polished graphics

SYNOPSIS

       lincity-ng [options]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the usage of lincity-ng

       lincity-ng  is  a  City Simulation Game. It is a polished and improved version of the old LinCity game: You are required to build and main-
       tain a city. You must feed, house, provide jobs and goods for your residents. You can build a sustainable economy with the help	of  renew-
       able energy and recycling, or you can go for broke and build rockets to escape from a pollution ridden and resource starved planet, it's up
       to you. Due to the finite resources available in any one place, this is not a game that you can leave for long periods of time.

       This game is similar to the commercial simulation game with a similar name.

OPTIONS

       These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with  two  dashes  (`-').   A  summary  of  options	is
       included below.

       -h, --help
	      Show summary of options.

       -v, --version
	      Show version of program.

       -g, --gl
	      Use the OpenGL display mode

       -s, --sdl
	      Use the SDL display mode

       -w, --window
	      Run lincity-ng in windowed mode

       -f, --fullscreen
	      Run lincity-ng in fullscreen mode

       -m, --mute
	      Turn off sound

       -S, --size
	      specify screensize (eg. -S 1024x768)

       -q, --quick
	      speficify how quick is the fast speed. (eg. -q 1 is the fastest possible with full animations, may heat hardware due to average 1 ms
	      pause.  -q 9 is the default 10ms pause) In -q 9 animation steps are skipped for speed. 1..8 do all animation steps in fast mode.

UPGRADE from 1.x to 2.x
       A new format for saved games is used since 2.0, but old games can be imported  and  automagically  converted.  Just  copy  $HOME/.lincity/*
       (old location for lincity and lincity-ng 1.x) to $HOME/.lincity-ng/ (new location since 2.0).

	  cp -a ~/.lincity/* ~/.lincity-ng/

       At the start of the game, one message will popup to remind you have some changes to do in your city.
