Tornado is the clone of a C64 game. I know that was a long time ago, but maybe somebody still remembers that times.
The goal of the game is to destroy the opponent's house with certain weather phenomenons: rain, snow, hail, lightning and tornado. The game can be played together (two players), against the computer (or two computer players against each other) or over a TCP connection.

Tornado is released under the GPL.

If you're now thinking, "Hey, but I thought Tornado is a webserver.", you're probably on the wrong page. If you looking for the Tornado HTTP Server go to http://tornado.sourceforge.net/ instead.

A new web based highscore system exists since version 1.0.2. You can automatically submit your highscores to this website at the end of each game. The world highscores table can be found here.

Screenshots of the game:

Third party packages are not done by myself. These have either been sent to me or I found them somewhere on the web. Please let me know if you have done any packages or included the game in any distribution so I can keep track of all the packages that exist. Please address problems with the packaging of these versions to the corresponding authors.

RPMs (and even up-to-date ones this time ;) ) can now be found on Jens' webpage.
Fink (http://fink.sourceforge.net/pdb/package.php/tornado) - Seems to be pretty up to date.
The FreeBSD port in FreeBSD 4.8 seems to be up-to-date now.
