Introversion Software, indie developer of hits Darwinia and Uplink, have now launched the aforementioned titles on the Ubuntu Software Centre. The titles are currently selling for US$10 each.<\/p>\n
By way of anecdotal explanation, Introversions Mark Morris said the following: “We’re pleased to announce that we’ve teamed up with Canonical and have launched Darwinia and Uplink on the Ubuntu Software Center.”<\/p>\n
“I remember the days when Linux was a horrible alternative to Windows (and apple were nowhere to be seen), but things have come a very long way since then. I recently installed Ubuntu on a machine, burnt a disk and turned on Treme, because I knew that OS Installs take hours with occasional input to tell it where in the world it is and what sort of Keyboard you use,” he continued.<\/p>\n
“Anyway, 20 mins later and we’re fully up and running and the interface looked sexy. I’m really hoping to re-kindle our relationship with Linux users as I’ve always believed that Uplink has to be the *perfect* game for Linux fans, and if we get enough takers we may even release Subversion for Linux on launch day (Chris’ll kill me for promising that)!” he concludes.<\/p>\n
Darwinia and Uplink have previously been available for the Linux platform via Introversion’s own web store<\/a>, but for US$15 each.<\/p>\n
