So I bought them. I'm no gamer but I figured it was a good enough idea
to try them out.
The first game dies when I run it - nothing happens.
The second game reset my screen resolution to 640X480 then died. It
didn't change my desktop size though, so I couldn't see any of my gui
tools to fix the problem. Or even launch a terminal if I knew how to
fix it from the command line. So the second game required a reboot of
my desktop.
The third game worked and had some pretty intimidating graphics on the
splash screens. The game itself is somewhat 1980's.
The fourth one I haven't figured out how to run yet. I'll try the fifth
one today if I have time.
So far, we don't have an xbox killer yet.
