How did you find out about Wesnoth?

I first saw it as a free game that came with SuSE Linux when I installed it to try it out.
I loved what I saw, so when I wiped Windows from my life and upgraded to -Linspire I did a search on their CNR for the name Wesnoth, and bamn, here I am

Other. Perhaps you know 'Screenfun'. However, that's a magazine with a DVD with games in it. And on one of those DVD's it was. Wesnoth version 1.0.1.

If I remember correctly it was through Debian APT. After I switched definitively to Linux (first Ubuntu 5.10, then Kubuntu 6.06) and removed Windows I began to look after some free games available in the repositories. So this is how Wesnoth came up.

To tell you the truth, I don't really remember how I found Wesnoth in the first place. Most likely it was when I was traversing Wikipedia that I found it. I was looking for some fun, free games to play online and Wesnoth popped right up!

I was introduced to the game by my (now ex-)housemate Chris (better known around here as Inigo Montoya), when I demanded to know what he was doing that was so important that he couldn't leave the computer and let me check my email!

I watched, I played a hot-seat game against him (and lost horribly), and I was instantly drawn in. It's not so much the fantasy aspect of the game that grabbed me, but more the fact that it's a lot more strategic than it first appears.

I first heard about the game when it was advertised in a list of the top linux games on digg.com.

I found it on Abandonia Reloaded, it's been on their frontpage as a thing to watch for a while so i thought i'd give it a try. Just finished HttT on the easiest setting, i liked it. Trying SotBA now.

I was looking for some free games to play on Apple.com, and I found Wesnoth.
