The standalone download worked great on Linux after compiling ironwail. It really looks great, having to choose whether to walk through the easy, normal, or hard doors in game to set the difficulty level was a nice touch i'd never seen before.

In case anyone tries to play it with a Logitech F310 game pad on Linux, it crashed for me unless +joy_rumble 0 was set on the ironwail command line.

Have you played Quake 1 campaign before? That literally what you do at the start - walk through one of three doors.

No, never really played video games much. I suspected it was only new to me, but it made a strong impression, it is such a clever idea.
And then there's the "nightmare" difficulty, but you have to find that hidden door!
