Title: Cube 2 available for AROS!
Post by: deadwood on July 08, 2011, 06:09:31 PM
I'm happy to announce availability of Cube 2 : Sauerbraten for AROS. Cube 2 is an actively developed First Person Perspective shooter with fast game-play, beautiful 3D graphics, featuring many single player maps, a single player campaign mode as well as on-line multi-player game-play.

Cube 2, however, is not just another game port for AROS. It is the first game that truly uses the advanced capabilities and features of AROS 3D sub-system. By utilizing those capabilities, Cube 2 provides level of 3D effects not seen before on AROS. We invite you to watch our presentation video. You will notice the difference :)

AROS port comes with game executable and separate initial configuration utility which allows users to quickly set up the game to match the video hardware they have. The data files need to be downloaded separately and installed into the game drawer. For maximum details a video card with 512MB of VRAM is recommended. Please read the attached ReadMe file for more information. The game requires update of some AROS components. More information can be found in the ReadMe file.

Game installation package can be downloaded from:

I would like to thank all involved in testing this port.

Have fun and enjoy the game!

Wow, AROS has really progressed graphically.  The differences in appearance of the game with graphic shaders vs without shaders was amazing.

Make me want to throw together a system just for AROS and Cube.

I would recommend PCI-Express 6600/6800/7600 or 7800. Long term recommendation are 8XXX/9XXX series cards.

I am really missing being able to test the Gallium stuff since my 8800 died.

My new 460 doesnt work, i even bought a GT220 because it was cheap and about the oldest card i could find, but no luck.

A little offtopic, but AROS needs a proper supported hardware database !!
