June 17 Distro of the Day: Games Knoppix

Today's Distro of the Day is Games Knoppix. Games Knoppix is a version of Knoppix that is preinstalled with a lot of games. And when I say a lot, I mean a lot. There are literally hundreds of games preinstalled in this distribution for you to try out. The whole image weighs in at 2.7 GB, but luckily with the LivePC Engine it can just download the parts you need so you don't have to wait for the whole thing to finish downloading.

Many of the games are hit-or-miss, so don't expect everything you try to wow you (or even work correctly - it seems a few of the game installs are broken). However, there are some truly great games installed, like Crack Attack, freeciv, and Beneath a Steel Sky. There is also a nice collection of emulators, so you can play the games from your old Amiga, C64, Nintendo, or any of a number of other gaming consoles.

Here is a one-minute video podcast showing off Games Knoppix:
