News
RootPark is a Civilization-like game based on the history of computers and networks. You can play it with as many other players as you want since it has full  networking capabilities. The game begins in 1960, when computers started to become very powerful. RootPark provides you the opportunity to experience these historical years, and a large range of possibilities. Are you ready for your time travel ?

  • We are looking for beta testers. Send us an email with informations about your computer. You must have Linux or BSD installed and GTK 1.2 working correctly. If you have already used games like FreeCiv, that would be the best. If you have another UNIX, and GTK works, that may interest us also.
