Linux Tycoon 3 comes to Android & Gameboy (seriously)
Because who doesn't want a Linux distro simulator in their pocket?

I've got a very fun -- and very out-of-left-field -- announcement to make:

Linux Tycoon 3 has been ported to, and is about to be released for, Android and Gameboy

Which means Linux Tycoon 3 now runs on:

  • Linux
  • DOS
  • Android
  • Gameboy

Seriously.

I know.  It's ridiculous.  But it's also awesome.

To celebrate, I'm releasing every game in the Linux Tycoon family as part of one big "Mega Bundle" over on Itch.io for $12.

That's $12 for the public.  For Lunduke Journal subscribers, I'm adding a discount of 42% (because... well... you know why I chose that number).  Which makes it work out to... a little less than $7.


Sorry I can't make it completely free for Lunduke Journal subscribers.  I gave away some past versions... But I put so much time into the Android and Gameboy versions (and some new updates to the DOS / Linux versions) that... well... a guy's gotta eat!  ;)  I figure the least I can do is knock it down to almost half price for all of you amazing nerds to be able to get the Android and Gameboy versions.

See this post for a link and coupon code to get that discount.

If you don't have a Lunduke Journal subscription... maybe grab one?  Then you get the discount too, even if you just subscribe for one month.  Good frugal thinkin', eh?

The Android version is a standard .APK file that you can install without the Google Play Store.  And the Gameboy version is a single ROM file (that most of you will probably use in an emulator... but will also work on a flash cart).

The rest of the versions are already released and available for download.

There's more than just the new game releases...

While most of you know me because of my videos, podcasts, or articles... before I embarked on my current career... I was a programmer.

With a number of those years spent at game companies.

And, as much as I absolutely love being a Tech Journalist (or whatever you want to call this crazy job I have) -- and I really, really do love it -- sometimes I still get the itch to do some coding.  Especially on games.

This project -- which has been slowly rolling for a long, long time now (especially the Gameboy version) -- has allowed me the chance to scratch that itch.

Along the way, I've been slowly documenting the journey.

Over the next couple weeks I will be publishing my Developer Journal for a all releases of Linux Tycoon 3 (including the Android, Gameboy, and Linux/DOS versions) here on The Lunduke Journal.  Details on what tools and languages I used, how I went about the development, issues faced... that sort of thing.

While I don't expect these articles to go viral on the Inter-Tubes... I find it all pretty interesting.  And I'm betting a number of you will as well.

The first Developer Journal published will be for Linux Tycoon 3 for Linux & DOS.  Followed by the Gameboy Dev Journal (which will be accompanied by the simultaneous release of the Gameboy ROM)... then the Android Journal and .APK release.

The Linux Tycoon Mega Bundle

So.  There you have it.

Picking up a copy of this "Mega Bundle" is, obviously, not required in order to read and enjoy the Developer Journal articles.  But... it wouldn't hurt!  😉  (Plus it helps me justify the absolutely ridiculous amount of time I spent on it.  🤣)

The following releases are already included in the "Linux Tycoon Mega Bundle":

  1. Linux Tycoon Classic for Linux
  2. Linux Tycoon Classic for Windows
  3. Linux Tycoon Classic for DOS
  4. Linux Tycoon 3 for Linux
  5. Linux Tycoon 3 for DOS

And very shortly (accompanid by their Developer Journals) those will be joined by...

  1. Linux Tycoon 3 for Gameboy (ROM)
  2. Linux Tycoon 3 for Android (.APK)

Once again.  If you are already a Lunduke Journal subscriber, make sure to grab the link/coupon from this post to save a few bucks.

The futility of Ad-Blockers

Ads are filling the entirety of the Web -- websites, podcasts, YouTube videos, etc. -- at an increasing rate. Prices for those ad placements are plummeting. Consumers are desperate to use ad-blockers to make the web palatable. Google (and others) are desperate to break and block ad-blockers. All of which results in... more ads and lower pay for creators.

It's a fascinatingly annoying cycle. And there's only one viable way out of it.

openSUSE says "No Lunduke allowed!"

Those in power with openSUSE make it clear they will not allow me anywhere near anything related to the openSUSE project. Ever. For any reason.

Well, that settles that, then! Guess I won't be contributing to openSUSE! 🤣

I found this tool and thought someone here might find it useful. In my research, sometimes I come across PDFs that I can’t grab text from, and this cli tool fixes this. Enjoy!?!

Happy Thanksgiving, you amazing nerds!

Just a quick note to let everyone know that I’ll be taking off the next few days to celebrate Thanksgiving with my family. You may still find me posting a few tidbits over on X, in between food comas, but no new shows until Sunday.

To all of you amazing nerds who make The Lunduke Journal possible: Thank you.

To say I am grateful for your support, over the last several years, would be the understatement of the century.

Over the last few months, the audience size of The Lunduke Journal has absolutely exploded. Thanks, in large part, to all of you. You not only funded the coverage of these “Free from Big-Tech influence” stories… you helped spread them as well. Far and wide.

Because of you, stories are being told which would otherwise fly under the radar, hidden by the mainstream Tech Press.

You are, in a word, awesome. And I am thankful, every day, for the trust and support you have shown to The Lunduke Journal.

To all of my fellow Americans, Happy Thanksgiving. May your hearts and your stomaches be full.

To all of my non-American friends, I wish the same. Because there’s never a bad time to have a ridiculously big meal.

-Lunduke

Oh, lest I forget: For those who don’t have a Lunduke Journal subscription yet, there’s a Black Friday sale. Half off. Good stuff. For those of you who have already picked up your subscription, recently or years in the past, you have my thanks.
