I heard about the game "Greedy Car Thieves" which is inspired by "GTA2". How to install it? I'd also like to have the game on my launcher.

From the official download page:
Dependencies (debian/ubuntu package names):
Nvidia-Cg-Toolkit (nvidia-cg-toolkit)
WxWidgets GTK 2.8 (libwxgtk2.8-dev)
SDL_image (libsdl-image1.2)
SDL_ttf (libsdl-ttf2.0-0)
Unpack the archive and run ./gct-game-startup from a proper directory.
Run install.sh as a root (e.g. sudo ./install.sh) to install the game. Afterwards, every user will be able to run gct-game-startup command.
Startup doesn't kill server, so kill it manually if you have to with: killall gct-server
Run ./gct-server for dedicated server. It doesn't need any libraries related to the graphics, so can be run on almost every modern Linux, even without X11.
If the install doesn't add it to the launcher, just do it manually :)

Make sure that in synaptic package manager the following packages are installed:
nvidia-cg-toolkit
libwxgtk2.8-dev
libsdl-image1.2
libsdl-ttf2.0-0
Download and extract to your home folder (or folder of your choice) one of the following:
Inside the folder you just extracted (mine was called
GCT-may-2011-linux-x86_64
) there is a file calledinstall.sh
.Run that file as root in the terminal.Note: To run the file as root, in the terminal type
sudo
, and then drag the 'install.sh' file from nautilus onto the terminal window.To play Greedy Car Theves, just run the file
gct-game-startup
, and click the refresh button to see a list of available servers.
