Minimal Install Games

Games/Emulators for GNU+Linux that have a small footprint for autistic minimal installs.
The only 2 I'm aware of are:
>Tibia (online game that only requires libglu and libssl)
>Virtual Boy Advance (Gameboy Advance emulator that doesn't even require a gui)

Tux Racer

Oh yeah, I forgot about that one.

xsok
ace-of-penguins

mednafen.
It's a multi-system emulator, although the main draw is the amazing PS1 support.

Sweet! I was looking for something to play chrono trigger with.

Honestly that's just autism.
However if you still want to do this you can just create a lxc container and install the emulators in the container. That way you only launch a bit of "bloat" while running the container and you keep your host clean.

mupen64 is commandline tool as well.
So is citra (3ds emulator). They support GOOOEY wrapper but most emulators will be commandline tools by default since making it commandline makes it easier to port and then add a graphical layer on top

Mednafen, fsuae

Look into text adventures for the CLI. It's like reading an interactive book.

Oh cool. I live in my terminal so that's totally my style.

Nethack

there's an hour long speed run of that game.

mgba is a good GBA emulator written in C. I'm pretty sure zsnes is written in x86 assembly.

Thoughts on RetroArch ?

Visualboy Advance (GameBoy (Color/Advance))
Mednafen (for PS1, Sega Saturn and SNES)
Mupen64plus (for N64)
DosBox (for DOS games)

I also forgot:
Desmume for DS games

what about games with Linux compatibility without being in the repos?

>Small footprints
>Emulators

Aren't most emulators super small?

Virtualboy was literally one package but some of them have extra dependencies due to gui's and such. It's hard keeping a debian install under 700 packages.

I wish unreal tournament 1999 was updated for modern video cards

that's what they'd like you to think...

sdlpop (SDL version of Prince Of Persia 1)
fish fillets (puzzle game, sokoban with gravity and cute fish characters - strong and small)

I still play UT 99. On semi modern hardware. Phenom II x4/32GB Ram/Geforce 740GT. She runs fine. Quake 3 runs damn good to.
