I’m a big fan of the Bungie Marathon trilogy, any chance the Alephone engine and the Marathon games will be packaged for inclusion in the antiX repos?
I currently play then through wine on antiX 17 and they run fine.
Regards

Here’s a healthy, productive, related discussion:
List of open source games that can be ported to the R-Pi
In that linked discussion, notice the post which mentions “Thanks for doing the legwork for the source code links!”Here, you have not bothered to lift a finger, didn’t even provide links or screenshot regarding what you’re seeking.
Loathe to foster anyone’s “sense of entitlement”, I’ll just mention a possibility: portablelinuxgames.org
and here’s a happy song (for background playback during your websearch) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65PAbKSXSeomeurglys
@skidoo, I tried to compile it from source, but it doesn’t seem to work for me.

Cool! Let’s roll with it…
Are you confident that the necessary “build dependency” packages have been installed?
FWIW, I hinted portablelinuxgames.org — which I had bookmarked, but the site isn’t loading for me today — instead of attempting DIY build
because when I grabbed the tgz and extracted/read (“spec”? file) I noticed it mentioned build dependencies: libboost-dev, multiarch supportbut it doesn’t seem to work
need to know: When attempting to compile, what command(s) did you type, and what was the (tailend of) the compiler output.
Although the bottommost line of output may not provide an immediate understanding of the reason for build failure, reading upward from bottom is usually enlightening.meurglys

Wholly Smokes! I installed boost-all-dev, sdl/sdl2 libs and their devs. sdl-net and sdl_ttf and devs Finally got the error messages to stop and Alephone to compile.
There must have been an easier way! lol But hey, learned to hang in there and try and work it out for myself.
Thanks skidoo, for the sarcasm and advice. It helped.
Regards,
Robert

@meurglys — You have learned a valuable lesson, grasshopper. Hang in there and try to work it out yourself. Sometimes you do need to ask for help from someone else, but keep at it. Soon you can give someone else advice.
