Linux Shogo Demo -- 8:42 am CST, Update by The Master

Hyperion Software has released the Linux version of Shogo as a demo version. Here's a selection from the readme:

• Pentium 200 MMX with 3D hardware, or a Pentium 2 233 for software-only (Pentium 2 plus 3D hardware recommended)
• 32 MB RAM (64 recommended)
• 90 MB of free disk space
• Linux Kernel version 2.2.x or later (glibc 2.1)
• XFree 3.3 or later (XFree 4.0 recommended)
• OSS/Alsa compatible sound card (/dev/dsp style)
• SDL version 1.1 (library included)
• FreeType Engine version 2 (included in this archive)
• gtk 1.2

You can download the demo and the readme from LinuxGames.

Okay, A.T. & Wraith, you can quit hyperventilating now :-)

A.T. Hun comments: I updated my Haus of Shogo with the link to this new demo. I'll have a review of it posted soon. Looks like I'll have to get back to finishing off my Shogo walkthrough!

I'm currently downloading the demo. One weird thing is that Blue's News says that it is a 28M download, but the file that's downloading is 36M. Hmmmm.

OK, I just checked Linux Games. The file is actually 36M. Blue's News just has the wrong information.

Bad news, sports fans. I can't get the demo to run! I installed it, installed SDL 1.1, and (after it told me it needed it) smpeg-0.4. The launcher comes up OK, but when I click on "Launch Game" I get this error:

./client: error in loading shared libraries: ./client: undefined symbol: __builtin_vec_delete

As of right now, Hyperion's website says nothing about the demo at all. I hope to find an answer to this one soon.
