A practical way to relax with beautiful graphics to boot!

Pingus is a free Lemmings-like game covered under the GNU GPL. It features currently 22 playable levels and runs under a wide variety of operating systems (Linux, Windows, etc.)

I was a real fan of Lemmings back in the early 1990s. But Pingus graphics are better. The staging area, penguins, the tools and the actions are beautiful and they have a techie theme to them. One example is in the little propellers used to float penguins down. In Lemmings these used to be parachutes.

Anyway do try it out. It runs pretty stable and is great for children and adults alike. Install it using synaptic or "apt-get install pingus" as root and then launch it.

Be prepared for 1 thing though. Make sure you have plenty of time before you start playing. It can be addictive.
