Question Alternatives to KTuberling/Potato Guy with fewer dependencies?


Hi all,

My kids like to play KTuberling (Potato Guy) which has a lot of KDE dependencies. Are there any similar games that do not heavily rely on KDE - or ideally would run on all platforms (Windows and Linux)?

Hi...

Although pretty old, how about Mr. Potato Head Activity Pack? It might work in Windows 7, although compatibility mode might be required. If not, it looks like it will run in Linux using WINE, with some issues. More details here. Just be sure to look at the EULA (or contact Hasbro Interactive, if they still exist) to make sure there are no restrictions running their software using an emulator...er, "compatibility layer."

Regards...
