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! 🤣

50% off Monthly, Yearly Subscriptions! Lifetime Subs for $100! Let's get everyone subscribing to The Lunduke Journal!

The number of free subscribers to The Lunduke Journal has absolutely exploded — across a bunch of platforms — which is truly amazing. The real Tech News is spreading farther than ever.

In fact, the free subscriber growth is so utterly massive, that if even a tiny fraction of you became a paying subscriber… The Lunduke Journal would become comfortably financially set for a very long time. Able to continue reporting on Big Tech — and corrupt Tech Foundations — well into the future.

All without taking a penny from Big Tech.

With that in mind, let’s do something awesome… something that will make Big Tech really grumpy.

Let’s get as many people subscribing to The Lunduke Journal as possible. Right now. This week. Let’s make this Big-Tech-Free, Non-Woke Tech News publication financially set for a good, long time.

To give everyone a kick-in-the-butt to help make that happen, I’m going to discount absolutely every type of subscription in a crazy way — through Friday, May 9th.

  • %50 off Monthly — Now $3 / Month (was $6 / Month)

  • %50 off Yearly — Now $27 / Year (was $54 / Year)

  • %50 off Yearly MP4 Downloads — Now $27 / Year (was $54 / Year)

  • %50 off Lifetime Subscriptions — Now $100 (was $200)

That Lifetime Subscription one is crazy.

Seriously. Make a one-time donation of $100, and be subscribed to The Lunduke Journal… for life. (This includes full access to the community Forum.)

If even 1% of the new free subscribers who have joined in the last month take advantage of this… The Lunduke Journal will be fully funded through the end of this year. And then some.

Let’s make it happen. Scroll down. Pick which ever subscription type works best for you. Then high-five yourself for making Big Tech grumpy.

Just be sure to do it by the end of the day on Friday, May 9th. The prices all go back to normal after that.

Lunduke Interviewed by Side Scrollers

Yesterday I joined the Side Scrollers show for an hour-long interview.

We covered the Adobe Copyright fight, PewDiePie and Linux, Pokemon Go and the CIA, and how The Lunduke Journal came to be. Definitely worth a watch. I join the show around the 56 minute mark.

 

Next Monday (May 12th), I’ll be a guest on Citizen Podcast with Dan Hollaway.

Critically Important Reminder: The Lunduke Journal refuses to take any funding from Big Tech. The coverage from The Lunduke Journal is only possible because of you.

And with efforts to silence The Lunduke Journal ramping up (including fraudulent copyright take-downs on YouTube), your support is needed more than ever before. If you haven’t already become a subscriber… there’s a lot of options.

All of them make a huge difference:

Without your support, so many stories about Big Tech and Woke Tech would never get told.

Seriously. Now’s the time to support this work, if you are able.

And a huge thank you to each and every one of you. You are making the Tech World a better place.

Adobe silences Lunduke, "GNOME is Antifa", & Linux Leftists v. PewDiePie
The Lunduke Journal coverage for the week ending May 4th, 2025.

This has been one heck of a weird week — both for Open Source in general, and The Lunduke Journal in particular.

From GNOME contributors declaring that “GNOME is Antifa” to Open Source project leaders declaring that they intend to block PewDiePie fans from using Linux — because PewDiePie fans are, according to Open Source Leftists, “fascists”. Just plain weird.

And, of course, the saga of Adobe working to silence The Lunduke Journal continues to march forward.

As usual, most of these stories were not only broken by The Lunduke Journal… but most Tech News outlets have refused to cover them at all.

Highlights from the last week (ending Sunday, May 4th, 2025):

Those links are all to X — but you can also find all of these shows on every other platform where The Lunduke Journal is available (including Rumble, Podcast, YouTube, and the rest).

Reminder: The Lunduke Journal refuses to take any funding from Big Tech. This type of reporting is only possible through the support of all of you. There are a number of ways you can help out — and, big or small, every option goes directly towards funding this work.

Without your support, so many stories about Big Tech and Woke Tech would never get told.

Seriously. You make The Lunduke Journal possible.

Thank you.
