Please consider packaging Word War vi.

"Word War vi is your basic side-scrolling shoot 'em up '80s style arcade game. You pilot your "vi"per craft through core memory, rescuing lost .swp files, avoiding OS defenses, and wiping out those memory hogging emacs processes. When all the lost .swp files are rescued, head for the socket which will take you to the next node in the cluster.

You might notice some similarity to Defender or Stargate, and perhaps Scramble, or maybe Rescue Raiders, and if you liked those games, you're apt to like this game. There are plenty of differences from those games as well though, some might say it's really "neo-retro," rather than purely retro.

It's licensed under the good old GPL v. 2.0, except for the audio files, which are licensed under a couple different Creative Commons licenses (see sounds/Attribution.txt)."
