BROWSER GAME
Let’s Surf
Version: GIT Web: https://github.com/ jackbuehner/MicrosoftEdge-S.U.R.F.
Lately some Linux users have discovered an Easter egg in the Microsoft Edge web browser, particularly in its built-in, not-so-secret game available at edge://surf. The egg was not in the game itself, but rather in the fact that one could choose Tux as the character in the Linux version of the browser. We first thought that it has little or no connection to the open source games that we’re committed to highlighting in Hotpicks, but it turned out that the Surf game is a standalone open source project legally residing on Github. This is a third-party game with community patches that enable Let’s Surf to be played offline, and – what’s even more important – with any browser you want. There’s no Tux option here, but the rest of the game is identical to the original version.
