[mythtv-users] Native Linux games on MythTV

[Robert Rozman]

Hi,

I have also another idea of games. I happen to use postnuke and there is a
bunch of free flash games (50+) and there are some that are really nice
(original Space invaders, Pacman, ...). In postnuke they are served from web
pages to clients. I wonder if it will be possible to launch them from
Mythtv. I really like them, cause they remind me of times, when first game
machines came out (I remember Space Invaders particularly)...

Regards,

Robert.
