Linux Format (www.linuxformat.co.uk) is a monthly linux magazine sold in the UK although I have seen it in countries like austrailia.
You should be able ot order a back issue from the publisher, if not let me know and I'll grad a copy for you.
The review was positive,they didn't have any problems getting it running and seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed playing it :D

Damn I was away for this. Congratulations MSX and K4Z!!
If either of you is interested I can see if the magazine is still available. I usually buy that mag most months.
I just found out a local shop sells Linux Format :P , it's in number LXF71 right? I can't find it on the site ne more.

My son bought Star Wars Lego ( http://www.lego.com/eng/starwars/videogame/default.asp ) a few days ago and watchin him play it reminded me of the modelling effect you guys were going for in Sheep Killer.
I think there is a lot more mileage to be gained from this kind of non-realistic yet fun modelling. If you get the chance get the game it really is a lot better than the other Star Wars type games out there.

Funny you should mention that. {MSX} and I are in the middle of another, secret but no so secret project :D :D .
I'm not going to give too much away at this stage, just that we've been feeding 'The Sheep Killer' engine steroids for the past 2 weeks, and whatever comes out, I'm sure is going to be impressive :o .
Just make sure you keep an eye on {MSX}'s (http://msx80.blogspot.com/) blog for more info. (Go there now :wink: )

I really like the look of the StarWars Lego game, but have never played it :cry: . The 3d Modelers must have had such a fun time modeling all those Lego characters. So simple yet pretty detailed too.

Looks excellent K4Z!!! I hope either you or MSX start a new thread about it. Look forward to seeing it.
Thanx Savage. Might set up a new thread for the project soon.
But for now...here's a little pic, just to tease you all a little :D

Sheep Killer 2: The Sheep Slicer?
Heh heh, not quite. It's a whole new game, keeping the same simple style and base code of The Sheep Killer 8) . And with lots of guns and hordes of things to kill :wink: .
