Shogo:MAD

Version:

Shogo:MAD Screenshot Anime-inspired giant robot combat

In Shogo you play Sanjuro, a hotshot commander caught in the middle of a war against a terrorist organisation that cost him his family and his girl-friend. As the plot develops, you will find out that not everything is as you thought it was. But make no mistake: Shogo is all about furious 3D action.

Some sections of the game have to be traversed on foot whilst other sections can only be completed with the aid of a Mobile Combat Armor unit, a 10 meters tall metal suit that packs some really amazing fire-power such as a laser-cannon and a multi-warhead launcher. In true anime fashion, the MCA's are extremely maneuverable and it's great fun to squash a foot-soldier now and then, but just remember to make a run for it when you're the one on foot...

One of the best single-player shooters for Linux, and that is saying a lot. I would kill for a Blood II: The Chosen port though...

The first two don't work, but if you click the Buy Shogo link, there is a link to the demo on that page.

hmm sorry to say atleast on my computer (3700+ AMD 64) even with the fps limited to 30, it does not actually take into effect. i open this autoexec.cfg with notepad, and add in the line "Max FPS" "30", yet the game still plays too fast...hmm i am still determined however to get this classic up and running!

I got it to work at normal speed by forcing VSync in the nvidia driver (with nvidia-settings)

Running on a Core Duo e6750 and a 8800GT 512mb.

Hope this helps. :)

A FPS with mechas. What's not to like? I've played this game on Windows once and liked it. Just tried the demo and the only thing bothering me is that I can't adjust the brightness, so I won't rate it just yet.

To fix brightness problems, see the FAQ: http://www.shogo-mad.com/faq/shogo.htm

If you own a modern video card and the game plays too fast (faster than it is supposed to) you can add this to your autoexec.cfg :

"MaxFPS" "30"

That will fix the issue. Dunno why it is not enabled by default, but there you go...

Thanks a lot for this hint, it works perfectly with frame limitation enabled (even on a 64 bit system).

Haven't seen this port, but kudos to companies for trying. I played this game through 80%. The Lithtech engine is quite solid.

  Linux client with Windows CD posted by jacius @ 12.223.186.40 on Nov 29 2003 4:34 PM  
Can I download the linux client and use the Windows CD that I already own, or must I purchase the game again, from TuxGames (or try to run it in WineX)? I realize that Hyperion gets no money from people using their old CDs, but it sure would be convenient for me.

IIRC, you will need to limit the frames per second to 30 - otherwise, you have all sorts of graphical and other issues. This is a config option for the Windows version, but I'm not sure where this is set under GNU/Linux. It's a top notch game if you can play it.
