Windows Must Be Stopped!

This is a pretty cool game for Xwindows. You have to shoot the little Bill Gateses before they can change all your OS/2, NeXT, Sun, and Mac machines over to running dreaded Windows. The action is pretty fast paced and little Bills are far more fun to kill than xroaches.

Two GIFs from the game, the xbill-1.1.tar.gz source tree, and a linux static Motif binary distribution are available from Mircosoft at their Games page.

You can also pick up the xbill-1.1.tar.gz source tree and a linux binary (without Motif) from this server with the links at the end of the page. While Motif makes the window headers and boxes look nice, it also adds a whole lot of weight. The xbill.static.linux.tar.gz from Maximum & Drakhai (available from the Mircosoft link above) didn't agree with my machine too well.. I had one sudden death and it consistently froze when the "Special thanks" Info menu item was chosen. Wacky!

At least with Athena, compiling xbill is as easy as it gets. In case you don't want to bother or you happen to want it for some reason, my linux binary is available below. It's missing the Motif menu style, but it's a lot smaller, runs in much less memory, and it hasn't crashed on me yet. Do whatcha like.

Remember to grab these to disk (shift-click in Netscape):

Happy hunting!
