+OpenArena is an open-source content package for Quake III Arena licensed
+under the GPL, effectively creating a free stand-alone game.
+You do not need Quake III Arena to play this game.
+
+OpenArena has bots, network playability, many maps and most of the other
+features you would expect from a commercial first person shooter.
+
+OpenArena requires the OpenAL library found on SlackBuilds.org. It also
+requires 3D accelerated video drivers but runs quite well on the open-source
+Intel drivers.
+
+Please be advised that the main game zip file, oa070.zip, is about 250MB.
+Additionally, one must download the following patch:
+ http://oxygen4.free.fr/dl/oa071-patch.zip
+ md5sum 5fa31998009f8241ad3ded93eb81e701
+which is about 12MB, and place it in the directory with the SlackBuild and
+the main game zip file. The SlackBuild will patch the original source and
+install version 0.7.1 of OpenArena.
+
+Note: this SlackBuild sets things up for i386, but 64 bit binaries are also
+copied into the game directory, so with minor edits to the doinst.sh and the
+two *.desktop files this script could be used with 64 bit systems, but this
+is untested.
