The Linux Game Tome was a website which provided a comprehensive list of games for Linux. == History == The site was started by Tessa Lau in 1995. She collected games from SunSITE's Linux games directories, and classic X11 games - for a database of just over 100 games.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Linux Game Tome: About The Linux Game Tome )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Site review: Linux Game Tome )〕 In 1998 maintenance was taken over by Bob Zimbinski who ran the site from that point to its closure.〔 At the time of closure, the database contained well over 2,000 games and game-related items〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Game Tome Listing )〕 as well as a user rating system, discussion forums, and an IRC channel. It also provided forums for game developers, and organized several make overs of "almost-there" Linux games such as ''Lincity''. Hosting was provided by Michael Simms of Linux Game Publishing and Tux Games which caused shared downtime during late 2010.〔(Linux Game Publishing Is Back Online ) Phoronix, December 08, 2010 (Article by Michael Larabel)〕 On March 25, 2013, it was announced that the Tome would shut down on April 13.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=News From BobZ )〕 The site had gone without updates for several months prior to this announcement. An archived version of the database has been made available, and the happypenguin.org site linked to two different efforts, "(Resurrecting the Tome )" and "(LGT Forum )", to continue the project. A further project to restore the original database of "The Linux Game Tome" is currently working on the website "(HappyPenguin - The Linux Game Tome )". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Linux Game Tome」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
