If only there were a quicker way to break down boxes/wares on the ships, or at least a "repeat last action" key.....

RogueBasin artice was last modified before current version has been released. It even has homepage pointing to graveyard! I'll have to correct that information soon.

Xenocide is written in MS Visual C++. Maybe it generates makefiles on the fly? Meanwhile, you can try older version at the Roguelike Graveyard. Link: http://www.graveyard.roguelikedevelopment.org/index.php?w2=1&w3=1&dzial=zombies&gra=6& There are compiled versions for all three listed platforms. Be warned though, it has a very nasty bug: if on a level are any undestroyed robots or any robot shells with parts inside game will crash when (a|de)scending stairs. Some features (multi tile monsters, travel and explore commands) are unimplemented. I can’t believe Jakub dropped both Linux and DOS support.

I'd held off trying it because of that, but I'll give it a go. (Just looked at RogueBasin's article; it seems they classified it as dead in late '06, but the update is from '07; hope remains, perhaps?)

I don't know how to compile it now... also, it doesn't work on wine (it gives me some kind of error), both with and without sounds. I'll have to pass on this one, sadly. I really wanted to try it, though... It seems I said that too quickly: there is no makefile!
