GNU ACM

GNU ACM is a distributed aerial combat simulator that runs on the X Windows System. Players can engage in simultaneous air combat from different computers. Players fly jet aircraft (something close to either an F-16C Falcon or a MiG-29 Fulcrum) equipped with radar, heat seeking missiles and cannon.

GNU ACM is a slighty modified version of the original ACM made by Riley Rainey at WebSimulations.

Downloading ACM

ACM can be found on the main GNU ftp server: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/acm/ (via HTTP) and ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/acm/ (via FTP). It can also be found on the GNU mirrors; please use a mirror if possible.
