is this on topic?? - I care little for games - where is the CC thread
here - let alone CC-NZ thread

is there not a cake-game-mac-site-blog-list you can chatter about this
on - not here

Surely the earlier conversation about the Aussie recommendations about
the modification of Crown Copyright is much more important - how do we
make this a NZ thing...

It already has. In Linux, there are many games that were started from
the 
Quake engines, heavily modified and improved.

My favourite is Nexuiz: http://www.alientrap.org/nexuiz

From the website: "Nexuiz is based on the Darkplaces engine, built on
OpenGL 
technology. The darkplaces engine is an advanced Quake1 based engine 
developed mainly by Forest "LordHavoc" Hale, who has been working with
the 
Quake1 engine for many years. A few of Darkplaces main features are
Quake3bsp 
support, realtime lighting and shadowing, new particle effects, advanced
menu 
system, and Md3 model support."
