We are proud to announce that we have just released OOTP 9 for a third operating system: Linux!

We always wanted to create a Linux version, but there was no e-distribution service available for the platform. So, our friends from P.I.S.D. (OOTP 9 is built using their code libraries) created their own system, called PEDS. PEDS allows cross-platform licenses for games, and works similar to eLicense or eSellerate. We will switch all of our games to this system next year if it works the way we think it will. This will allow you to use your purchased OOTP licenses on any of the three operating systems!

So, in order to purchase OOTP 9 for Linux, please follow these steps:

1) Download OOTP 9 for Linux here: http://www.ootpdevfiles.com/ootp/oot...install.tar.gz
2) Install the game and run it.
3) The game starts in demo-mode. You can try out the game for a while, and then click on the '"Buy OOTP Baseball" button at the bottom of the screen.
4) You will taken to the PEDS website, please create an account there.
5) Your PEDS account password gets emailed to you. Please log in using the password.
6) You are now in the PEDS webstore. Click on "Out of the Park Developments" at the bottom to list our games, or if you see OOTP 9 already listed, click on "Buy 2 licenses".
7) You will now be taken to PayPal, which will handle the transaction.
8) Once the transaction is complete, the two license keys will be listed in your PEDS account and emailed to you as well.
9) In the OOTP 9 main screen, click on "Enter a license key" and enter one of your licenses.
10) That's it, enjoy the game

OOTP 9 will work with every 32-bit Linux OS, if the following dependencies are met: (It may run on some 64-bit Linux as well if you have all the 32-bit compatibility packages installed correctly.)
