:'Xbill is also a colloquial abbreviation for Crossbill. ''XBill'' is an arcade style game for the X Window System. It was very popular among Linux gamers at the end of the 1990s, beating out ''Quake'', though not Quake II, as Linux Journal reader's favourite Linux game in 1999.〔(1999 Reader's Choice Awards ) - Linux Journal〕 Written by Brian Wellington and Matias Duarte,〔()〕 the game features a bespectacled character known as "Bill". The goal is to prevent Bill's legions of clones from installing "Wingdows", a virus "cleverly designed to resemble a popular operating system", on a variety of computers running other operating systems. == Gameplay == The operating systems are represented by logos shown on the computer screens. The computers the player must defend include PCs running Linux and BSD, SPARCstations with Solaris, SGI IRIX workstations, Apple Macs, Palm pilots, and NeXTcubes. When Bill installs Wingdows onto a computer, its current operating system is placed beside it. Using the mouse, the player must slap Bill and drag discarded operating systems back to their computers. At the end of the level, points are accrued for every computer that is still running its original operating system. On later levels, computers are connected to each other with LAN cables, causing Wingdows to spread faster. Some computers may also catch fire. This can be cured by dragging buckets of water onto them. 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「XBill」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
