Except the part where they write "All of the games [in the bundle] work great on Mac, Windows, and Linux."

If Braid isn't available for Linux, that'd be a deal-breaker for me and probably for a lot of the Linux users buying this bundle.

The author made sure Braid worked on Linux for the bundle. I was very pleased to hear about that.

(And yes, having bought the bundle I can verify the download exists.)

Not that anyone really cares or needs my input, but I can verify that too.

Either of you install it yet?

Edited: Bought the package and attempted to install the games. Of the five, on Ubuntu 10.10 x64:

Braid: Installer was a .bin which gave me some ELFCLASS64 errors, but the game runs. I just can't figure out how to get it windowed, so it's currently centered between my two monitors.

Cortex: Installer was a 64bit bin, installed OK, but the game gives me an error about a missing file when I run it. Tried to touch the file, no luck.

Machinarium: .tar.gz, installs and runs. Forces primary-monitor only.

Osmos: 64-bit deb, installed fine, plays awesome, forces itself to my left (primary) monitor, couldn't be happier.

Revenge of the Titans: Broken 64-bit deb. The Ubuntu GUI for debs threw up a useless error message. If you manually create /opt/revengeofthetitans/full_length_music/ and then install it with dpkg it works. Game runs, and has three different window size options if you don't want fullscreen.

"I just can't figure out how to get it windowed"

You tried the -windowed option?

I can't run it at all. It says "Missing required OpenGL extension".

The comments over at LWN may help: http://lwn.net/Articles/419828/ (maybe "the missing extension can be enabled with driconf" applies?)

[pmcginn]

thanks! I tried --window, -window, and -w before I gave up. Thank you!

I just installed i386 _Braid_ (which was the main reason I bought it). It plays without a glitch or problem so far, and seems smooth enough.
