Commodore OS Vision 2.0 Forum

Hi Everyone,

Short version:
You can automatically download and install 54, of what I think, are the most decent Linux games, via an automated script.
System --> Commodore OS --> Free Games Installer
The list of games is provided below. These games seem to play well with the system.

Here is a forum post on the best way to play the games.

If you want to install various games individually, you can go to the Software Installer Games Category.
System --> Commodore OS --> Software Installer (Games category)

Hurrican, is a game that pays homage to the famous Turrican games, and is ready to play on the base Commodore OS install.
Click the Commodore Icon on the dock to take you to the Systems folder and navigate:
Linux / Hurrican
Enjoy.

Long version:
Version 1 of COS had a number of Linux games included. IIRC there were some games on the DVD 1 base install, and then you could install more with the second DVD dubbed Commodore OS Extras. All the games were nicely categorised in the Game menu under their genre. This time around, I could have included then all in the same ISO (now that it can be as big as you want), but I thought that perhaps people might prefer the base OS and apps and to optionally install the games separately. And by separately I mean all at once . And then all dog-piled in the Games folder.

Could I have made an optional installer for each of the games? Yes!!! And that is the plan for a future release/update. (Edit: No, all the games will come pre-installed with the ISO and will be properly categorised)

I am currently developing a unified retro Game database front end for all the different microcomputers and retro consoles which would (eventually?) include Free Linux games, Free Windows Games and Free DOS games available for download over the internet. This is what was intended to be launched from the Commodore icon in the dock, instead of a file explorer window to the retro Systems folder. (Edit: No, it won't be ready for COS3 due to schedule, there is an alternate launcher that will be used for COS3 that will be optional thereafter)

Below are a list of the games, and the individual commands to install these one by one at your leisure via the Command Line Interface(Bash shell).
Below each command is the corresponding command to uninstall the game (remove the leading #).
