Tux Racer - Legacy

Legacy

Despite the game ceasing production, certain forks of Tux Racer exist, including Open Racer, an open source fork of the original Tux Racer created by Nathan Matias for SourceForge in 2001; this version was eventually abandoned. A fork entitled PlanetPenguin Racer, an enhanced version of the GPL-licensed version of Tux Racer, was created; however, it was discontinued in 2006, with the latest release being in 2005. Another project based on PlanetPenguin Racer entitled Extreme Tux Racer was developed on March 2007, but the last change to the SVN repository was in January 2011. An arcade redemption game entitled Tux Racer Arcade has been released by Roxor Games; a sequel entitled Tux 2 Arcade has also been released, featuring four courses and four characters from the commercial version, namely Tux, his friend Trixi, a female penguin, Boris, a bear, and Samuel, a seal.
