Twenty Bucks: Europe at War
May 30, 2009
Based on a two-year-old stellar review from Bill Trotter over at The Wargamer, I’ve decided to blow my remaining $30 and $10 from June on a copy of Commander: Europe at War. It’s closed source, has no DRM (just a serial number) and runs perfectly in Wine, so I guess it scores a 1 (1.2?). Sold! Purchasing was smooth and the download quick. Thank you Slitherine!
Edit: the game is written in Java – so there’s at least a chance it’ll run native on Linux, and at one point it was able to do so. Plus, the game is littered with free software/open source help – it uses PNG images and ogg vorbis audio files. Woot!
