It’s been like almost twenty years since I last played this on my dads computer, but the soundtrack STILL gets stuck in my head randomly. I had to finally look it up just to actually hear it again ✋😭

[@Ryuzakki_56]

The good old days

[@101jir]

I still use it in my sleep playlist. Towards the end, when I am ready for something to take me that last step from mentally still and relaxed to actually asleep.

[@nktrain64]

THAT MUSIC IS SO NOSTAGIC!!!!!

[@KrzysiuNet]

Is it me or anything feels the eerie atmosphere of this game? Maybe it's the music, the everlasting emptiness and solitude, maybe lights (especially sunset does that for me). I really love the music. Very magical, very fitting. If it wouldn't be there, I wouldn't play it much. Well, I hate that synthetic bass guitar sound, but overall it's great.

[@blazekppn]

Right? Especially when playing at night, when you have the view of distant mountains in the darkness.

[@jadesded]

Probs the fact that there is no interaction between Tux and the player other than him gliding down a mountain -- as well as the environment is empty. It's all quite isolating, and that's scary to a child lmao.

[@sai_anand]

Bro this is so true, it's the music and the everlasting solitude you talked about. I love the music but there's something creepy to it lol

[@aurei94]

This is soooo true man!

[@Biyeii]

I played tux Racer when i was 12... I am 29 years old now and Main menu music suddenly appeared in my mind and I had an extreme need to search for the song xd

LMAO just realized this is the game I used to play on my laptop when I was 8 years old. Didn't even know that my laptop had Linux. I just thought it was "different" lol I lost that laptop because someone broke up my parents car and stole everything there. Including my Nintendo DS with Mario Kart.

[@mayhair]

Sad!

[@Vengir]

That's my first PC game I have ever played (even before I had one at home). I don't remember what was my first one, but probably something on Atari.

[@MrLemmiwinks91]

Last time I seen this was when I was in highschool around 2001-2002. The memories have come flooding back. Awesome game!

[@ishanbadhe4963]

Man, this game was a gem and the soundtrack was just too damn good.

It's 2024, the nostalgia is realll

The memories are just flooding back to me right now! This along with super tux, super tux kart and Pingus were my shit back when we had free computer time back in primary school. God I wanna replay these! Now I’m almost 18, and I played this back when I was like 7 or 8 years old.

Nothings changed. Still the best Linux game

[@Garlic_Bread69]

Yeah but steam has proton and stuff, of course this is still the best game of all time

[@easyknighting]

This was the first that dad gave me. A fun game to occupy me with when i was at work with him. RIP dad, l know you would be amazed with Elden Ring!

[@nitsuix]

I remember playing this in my computer class in elementary. I remember the graphics looking a lot cleaner, though. Then again, that's just how I remember everything from back then.

[@kyryloromanenko3062]

Graphics looked very clean on CRT monitors.

[@gotyournose9900]

I played this game with my dad when I was about 6 or 5 years old. I freaking loved it so much, I played non stop. That was also the time that I got my first computer (Qimo OS). I also played Tux Kart and I loved that game too. Ahh... Nostalgia..... Probably my favorite moments as a kid too.

[@ScrewTikTok]

Used to play it when I was a kid, and this soundtrack still gets stuck in my head.... After 20+ years.....

[@iloveme28]

Oh.. nostalgia. What a good vibe from this game, like a Flash game. I miss those 2000s, the coolest childhood game sunk into my soul. Great, favorite.

[@pierreliotard3978]

I played a lot of Tux Racer as a child (I'm 26 years old). This music haunted me, but it only came back to me through bribes. thank you for letting me listen to it again!

Can't believe that it's been 12 years (or something around that) since I played this game... so nostalgic!

[@mayhair]

I'm almost 13 and I installed this game on my Void Linux laptop. Hopefully I will have good memories of it just like you guys when I grow up :)

[@LiGhTyGaMeR]

I played this at school omg

[@bobyselamethartono]

Nostalgic. Made me remember when I was a lot younger and got excited about Linux gaming.

[@DeSinc]

man when I played this it was running on some slower than 400mhz system that could only run the game at double digit fps (there's a decimal point in between those digits) and the music actually played slower, so this doesn't even fit my nostalgia of this game because the music sounds too sped up lol to my memory 0.7x playback speed in the menu and 0.5x ingame sounds right which is quite telling to what kind of PC we're talking about

[@CAL1MBO]

Can you beat this with accelerated back hops?

[@platypusduck54]

I oh so very vaguely remember this game. I must’ve had it on my Windows XP when I was very little, and it probably wasn’t on there for long. My older cousin worked on our computer(s) way back then, and he might’ve installed it. The only memory I can recall with this game is getting stuck in a pit near the end of the race. Can’t confirm if that really is a thing in this game, I did just go on eBay and bought a copy, hope to relive the memories of playing on the computer with my brothers. This one is buried deep in the back of my head. Kind of a miracle I was able to find this video. I typed “penguin sliding pc game” haha

[@bigpiclittle763]

im trying to find a game i was playing when i was really young, it was on the windows xp, i don't remember the name of it but i do remember it had the minesweeper icon with a skull on it, it was animals fighting they had like a gun, bomb just like the icon i was talking about and a rocket launcher. as of 2019, my brother upgraded it to windows 10 so i cannot find the game anymore....

[@themusicdog6223]

So you're probably here because of nostalgia (there might be a chance that you're new to this game too) and you want to download it. Here are some download links, then: This is for the original that most of you have played: sourceforge.net/projects/tuxracer/ Next we have Extreme Tux Racer: the oldest available version of ETR (for Windows): sourceforge.net/projects/extremetuxracer/files/releases/0.35/etracerinstall.exe/download this version doesn't change a lot from the original Tux Racer but adds some nice extras such as more courses. And the best way to play Tux Racer today is probably the latest version of Extreme Tux Racer, which you can get by simply clicking on the big "Download" button: sourceforge.net/projects/extremetuxracer/ It has support for higher resolutions, new courses, new music, new characters and many more improvements! Now this is what I like to call classic Tux Racer. There was also a much improved commercial version of Tux Racer with a lot of new additions such as brand new courses, new music, different kinds of courses (like forest courses), new characters and local multiplayer. You can get this version from here: winworldpc.com/product/tux-racer/1x After you download it, you'll have to extract the ISO and burn it on a disc, and after that the installation is straightforward. The thing is, while the "classic" Tux Racer family runs great even on modern Windows versions (you should give Linux a try BTW), the commercial version doesn't. Tux Racer is available on other platforms than Windows and Linux, too! For example, it is also available on Android as "Tux Rider". It was even available on the Ouya (under its original name). So yea. That's how you get Tux Racer. Also on Linux you can get it even easier, especially if you use Ubuntu (on Ubuntu and derivates like Linux Mint just open the Software center and install Extreme Tux Racer). I recommend you to also play Tux's other games, SuperTux and SuperTuxKart. Hopefully this helped. Have a great day playing Tux Racer! :-P And be sure to spread the word! It would be cool if this game was played by more people.
