How did you find out about Wesnoth?

Actually, I found Wesnoth through a long and twisted path of URLs starting at RadioRivendell (my favorite internet radio station) then some game music link in the forums took me to abandonia.com, and from there I somehow found the Underdogs website. Voila!

simply by browsing games online until I read a review, then popped in here and guested my way thru several topics, decided to give it a go on my slackware 10.2 system and loved it so much it now runs on my FreeBSD box at home, with a semi permanent server for friends to log into and play...

Wesnoth is AWESOME.

I found about it while reading on commercial games for linux on the official forums of Ubuntu Linux. There was a thread on "What is your favorite commercial game for linux" and someone said wesnoth. Of course it was quickly pointed out a few posts later that the choice was bad since it was GPL. It picked my curiosity and I wanted to learn more and... well here I am.

And yes I'll have to try linux this summer.

http://www.softonic.com (page you can download many things, and they are following the game!)
And also the other day I went to visit a friend, who I have given that version (0.6-7?)... jejje... really surprised to see how this has changed since these days...

You guys need some media coverage. I stumbled upon it a week ago online.

I found Wesnoth version 0.8.11 on a NetGuide (an aussie internet magazine) disk. Quite goodluck, too. But some campaign files are a bit corrupted, so I can't play campaigns properly. So I just play the AI, still fun.

This game totally makes up for all of the crappy games that site is flooded with.

I think someone mentioned it on gamedesign-l when I was searching for games meeting various criteria. Sourceforge is the reason I eventually played it. It met certain project specs that I was interested in.

Installed pretty much everything in SUSE 10.0, was trying some of the other games, but didn't have graphics drivers installed yet, so it was one of the few big ones that worked, coz of playing it, i still havent bothered installing drivers to try others

A discussion on [url]news://rec.games.roguelike.nethack[/url] as Wesnoth shares both an open source nature (Nethack uses a modified GNU Emacs licence, which formed the basis of the GPL v1) and a fantasy setting (although Nethack is a little more Moorcock and a little less Tolkein, e.g. its elves are chaotic). Wesnoth needs an ASCII graphics mode!

(which would be awkward with hexes).

I installed it, then forgot about it. I tried it when I was clearing up my HDD, not expecting much. I was very pleasantly surprised.

There was a CD-ROM with some freeware, packed with a swedish PC-magazine, PC Hemma, and on it was Wesnoth 1.0.1.
