Happy Birthday Phoronix; A Final Call For OilRush

Posted by Michael Larabel on June 05, 2011

Phoronix.com is celebrating its seventh birthday today. The Phoronix Test Suite is also officially three years old today as far as the public post-1.0 development is concerned. It's also your final chance to participate in our Unigine OilRush giveaway.

After reading our seven-year recap and about this weekend's Phoronix birthday party, you can win a free copy of Unigine OilRush. OilRush is Unigine's first in-house game that's being officially released this support and is an advanced real-time strategy game built atop their very impressive multi-platform engine. Native clients are available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. The Unigine Engine graphics are very compelling, but at the same time they will stress your graphics card and drivers, which largely rule out Mesa / Gallium3D drivers for the time being.
