S.C.O.U.R.G.E.: Vermin Extermination Services
Life is comfortable in the quasi-medieval city of Horghh. In fact it is so comfortable that a group of aging adventurers - having no monsters to slay, young people to rescue, or tree-stranded pets to fetch - decide to incorporate into a dungeon janitorial services company. After renting a run-down office-hovel on the shady side of town, the group accepts missions from a line of increasingly dangerous low-lifes. Our heros are hired by overlords, evil sorcerers, and underworld bosses to exterminate pests occupying old dungeons, haunted towers, and other future centers of world domination. While working for the daily mutton, group members battle alcohol addiction, low self esteem, non-existent self-confidence, and total loss of integrity. It is a grandiose battle of epic mental and psychological proportions, to which most players will relate.

-Multi-level, random, scrolling dungeons. Populated with many, fearsome vermin for yer exterminatin' pleasure
-Control a group of four ex-adventurers as they try to find dignity in their new profession
-An interactive world of items, characters, spells, enemies and traps
-Multiple missions per level, so you decide which dungeons to enter

The prerequisites for all platforms are: SDL, OpenGL and FreeType2

For windows, unzip the .zip file and double-click "scourge.exe" to start.
For Mac OS X, double click the .dmg file and double-click "scourge" to start.
For Unix, open a command prompt and:

1. tar -xzvf scourge-XX.tar.gz
2. cd scourge-XX
3. ./configure
4. make
5. ./src/scourge

For all platforms "scourge --help" gives you a bunch of (mostly video) options. If the game won't start or runs very slowly try experimenting with these. (For example on linux, my video card is only truly accelerated in 32bpp mode.) You can also try "scourge --help-config" to resolve directory location issues.
