I have been a little preoccupied with real-life commitments over the past few days, but I managed to whip up four or five Pkgfiles for the games I mentioned in the last post. The beauty of these ports is that they’re paper-thin — they rely on almost nothing, and take almost no time to install.

With the exception of Bastet, of course. Since it relies on boost, there’s the possibility that you’ll be compiling for hours, with a 20-second burst at the end, when the actual game compiles. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. 🙄

All of these, with the exception of Moon-Buggy, were converted from Arch PKGBUILDs. Use at your own risk, of course. 😉

Don’t forget, since this seems to be heavy on the Tetris clones, that there’s a port for Netris in opt. Enjoy.
