About Dave Gnukem:
Dave Gnukem is a 2D scrolling platform shooter.

I've ported the game to BeOS.

Here's the introduction from the original author, David Joffe:

--------------------------------------------------------------

Overview

Dave Gnukem is a 2D scrolling platform shooter.

I started writing this back in 1995 in my first year at university (actually it goes back longer than that, before that
there was a pascal/assembly version), and work on it intermittently whenever I get time and inspiration. It was
originally a DOS-based 16 color EGA game; I then converted it to Linux/GGI, and have now made a Windows port.
The code is a bit messy due to it's colourful history, I'm slowly trying to clean it up. The game is "inspired by" Duke
Nukem 1, one of my all-time favourite games.

Although this is by no means a finished game, it is playable. You can walk, jump, shoot baddies, collect stuff, die,
teleport, open doors, use lifts, open boxes etc. There is also a level editor.
Latest Version
   
Details about this version:
v0.53 - First BeOS release.

Requres libSDL - see link below.

-----
24 July 2001 Release 0.53. Ported to SDL, finally! Not only is the SDL implementation of the graphics/input are about
half the number of lines of code as the DirectX version (DirectX is a pretty clunky API) but the SDL code works on
Linux too, eliminating the need for extra Linux code (previously I used GGI).

 
Intel Version - requires R5   (1.9 MB) 1,960 downloads
