Does that sound like a spam headline or what? But it’s exactly what this game is. A freeware mech-duel game like Virtual ON, with the mechs named after various OSes, possibly even with some reason behind each one. If you guys can figure it out, you’re a better man than I. But in any case, now instead of just comparing features, your favorite OSes can battle to the death.

I’ve just played it and it’s awesome. You’ll want a gamepad; what with 5 weapons along with boost and guard, the default keyboard layout is shockingly inadequate. Windows only, people. Move along little Appleheads. Go play solitaire.
