The Original Strife: Veteran Edition, a very old first-person shooter developed by Rogue Entertainment and published by Night Dive Studios, has been released on Steam for Linux.

The Linux platform has been getting all kinds of games lately and most of them are pretty advanced, but from time to time Linux users also get some very old gems that have been made to work on Steam for Linux. There are quite a few of these games now and The Original Strife: Veteran Edition is yet another example. The devs have also released a new patch for the Linux flavor.

"A new small patch is out now for Linux. It contains a small shell script that will launch the game instead of Steam launching the strife-ve executable directly itself. This avoids a strange bug we had where the movies at the beginning would not play when launching the game from the Steam client," reads the Steam entry.

The developers have added support for high resolution, OpenGL support, dynamic lighting and bloom, widescreen support, and key rebinding. Also, the minimum requirements will be at least Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, a 1.0 Ghz processor, 256 MB of RAM, and 500 MB of free space.

The game also comes with a 25% discount that is scheduled to end on December 19.
