Xboing 2.2 has been compiled and installed in the games locker for
Ultrix, Solaris, NetBSD, Linux (X11R6, so you lose if you only have R5)
rs6000 build exists, but hasn't been installed due to quota problems
Xboing is a breakout-type game, with colored blocks that need to be
hit with a ball. You control the paddle ensuring the ball doesn't fall
off the edge.. lots of bonuses and other neat stuff too...
on NetBSD and Linux, gameplay gets a little fast (I think it's a bug)
one way to slow it down is in the intro screen, where it shows you
all the items, to push '1'. This is the slowest speed for the game.
it's REALLY cool... try it...
