You can do a lot to improve how it looks, too. There’s a lot of custom terrain, and you can download meshes made from satellite photos.

It also works better in VR.

I should get back into that one. I played some in early access, and it was fun.

It’s my favorite racing sim. Good pick.

I’ll definitely look at Sailwind, I’d love a good sailing sim. Thanks for the rec!

That was another great one; it’s one of the most fun eras to fly in.

I still cry when I remember that they were clearing them out at $5 a pop. I’ll cling to mine until the day it dies.

UFO50 is one of the most astonishing pieces of game design I’ve ever seen; its a master class in elegance.

The Oblivion score is so good.

Good pick! I was so bummed when I heard that was cancelled.

I’d like to play around with whatever alpha build they made for the original concept of Team Fortress 2.

I love the one that came out (it’s probably my most played game of all time), but those first few screenshots before retooling were captivating when we’d already been waiting so long for the release.

I can’t grab it either. It keeps telling me to log in when I’m already logged in.

Nice, a DL and everything!

I played this a lot.

Oh nice! I’ll have to look that one up, I’d never even heard of it. Sounds awesome though.

That’s it, they’re making Games for Linux Live now.

I was hoping someone would mention the disc launcher!

We used to play the shareware version on the school computers whenever we had free time. Shazbot!

Undeniable classic. Not much more satisfying than hucking a file cabinet at a group of people who don’t see you yet.

Also, the trip mines were fun to use in smaller games (just like the Duke3d ones).

I don’t think I’ve gotten to that one yet.

My kid and I are really into Bushido Ball, which is such a cool game.

UFO50 is probably my favorite release of last year.

Should have called it the Nintendo Top.

A save-scumming wizard could be a great main character.

I don’t play many free games, they’re too expense.

Nice! I’m playing mostly enhanced vanilla, I’ll dig into OpenMW at some point though. I had no idea there was a decent multiplayer mod!

Still going on UFO50. There’s still a couple games I haven’t even tried yet.

Also, doing a modded playthrough of Morrowind, which is a TES game that I missed when it came out due to having an underspec PC. Its magic creation system is ridiculous and a lot of fun to play with. I wish they’d put something like that in TES6, but I’m not gonna hold my breath (without making a spell for it, anyway).

Didn’t catch any grenades, but I imagine so?

I played last night and showed those young’uns how to use the gravity gun.

Hadn’t played regularly in about 15 years, but the reflexes are still there.

The Monkey Island game that came out a year or two ago was pretty great too if you want a modern take on the genre.

I imagine you’ve played some of the others, but if not you should do 1 & 2 immediately.

If you like point-and-click adventure games, there are a bunch in spooky territory:

The Colonel’s Bequest

Grim Fandango

Maniac Mansion/Day of the Tentacle

There are more, but these are the ones I’d start with if you haven’t played them.

Fate of Atlantis is a cannon story to me. I never saw the two new movies, so that’s the end of the franchise for me, unless the new game is any good.

That’s crazy, thanks for sharing.

I like that hardware, too.

Oh, that’s very interesting!

I do have a 4 that I use as an emulation machine. I should try some older DOS games, I guess. Thanks!

Can you emulate x86 on the pi? I thought that was really inefficient.

Really looking forward to this one. Arena hero-shooters are my favorite games, going all the way back to QWTF.

But my point is that the long jump reduces the hitbox. They’re both crouch-jumps, just different forms.

You had to long-jump into little spaces that would be too big to fit in normally.

I mean, you use the long jump to reach some crouch-jump spots. It’s a type of crouch-jump.

HL1 had the long-jump upgrade where you had to do a crouch jump to use it.

Doing full co-op with a randomizer is a blast.

Sword of the Samurai and Covert Action fans have long since given up.

It really is a great game.

The combat reminds me most of Half-life 1 when the soldiers are chasing you through Black Mesa.

“Duck Game is safe!!” added Podbielski. “[It’s] being returned to Corptron along with its store pages on all platforms, it’s not going anywhere. thank you everyone…hoping everyone else got the same email.”

I’d love another Duck Game, it’s my favorite arena brawler. Crazy that WB did the right thing here, these IP issues usually go the other way.

I think it was VRML.

Yeah, can’t wait for this one.
