Since the first PadMaps in the year 2000 until today, the World of Padman has been widely and also internationally reported in the media. We have taken the trouble to compile an overview of the to us known essential articles, reports and mentions in chronological order.
Of course, this list is not complete, so we are happy when we are alerted to missing contributions. Also, for copyright reasons, we can not put all posts online for viewing as we explicitly require the permission of the copyright holders. But we have already contacted many publishers and editors and ask you for a little patience. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy browsing and discovering!

Distro Game Drift Linux
Linux User & Developer (UK) | August 2011
“Could this be the first truly viable Linux-based PC gaming OS?”
In this issue, a two-page article was actually about the Linux distribution Game Drift Linux, which was almost a first App Store for Linux games. World of Padman was one of them and was featured in the article coincidentally in a screenshot of the game store. Thus WoP had also made it into the issue of this magazine.

37 free games for your vacation
PC Professionale (IT) | August 2010 | #233
“World of Padman is another game that uses the engine from Quake III Arena, although it is very different from the traditional FPS from which it originated.”
In this issue World of Padman was introduced as one of 37 free games for the vacation. The article briefly discusses the origin of the game and its features. The colorful level design is also highlighted. 33 of the 37 presented games are also included on the DVD of the magazine. But we can’t say for sure whether World of Padman is included.

This issue of the Indian Linux For You magazine included the live DVD “Live Linux Gamers” version 0.9.5, which also included World of Padman next to other games.

PC Gamer (UK) | July 2007
“Padman … is a full-blown videogame hero, complete with a speedy game of his own. … Silly colours, serious action.”
The article is quite short and praises World of Padman as “Downloader”. But it goes into the main points and puts the game mode Spray Your Color and the map design in the foreground.

World of Padman – The Germans are coming
PC Zone (UK) | July 2007
“In short, World of Padman is a surprisingly good game.”
World of Padman was featured in this issue on the DVD and was also given a small article. In this, Padman’s fame in Germany is funny compared to that of David Hasselhoff and put on a par. We had a great time.

And once again, this issue praised the ENTE’s PadShop based Maximum PC Quake 3 Benchmark, right next to the Dream Maschine Gaming Rig of the year 2001. ENTE’s PadShop was then also with the corresponding Q3A demo file of Maximum PC on the CD-ROM of the issue.
