stalker 2 and indiana jones the great circle

 

They say there are no games on Linux

 

Elden Ring but I'm sick of the ridiculous bosses

 

Almost finished with Doom The Dark Ages after 2-3 weeks, now its time for Mario Kart World on my shiny new Switch 2!

 

I started a game that I've had for years but never really gave it a good go: Brütal Legend. You all know goddamn well why now.

 

Really? I thought it only runs on MS-DOS 5

 

Crazy those are only 8 years apart.

Yo. DRM free and compatible with all Win platforms:
https://www.gog.com/en/game/brutal_legend

 

Speaking of Brütal Legend, Double Fine Productions has made it free for 666 minutes: https://itch.io/s/157468/-brtal-legend-free-for-666-minutes-

There's still an hour to go if you fancy claiming it (for later downloading).

Supports Windows (XP), macOS (Intel) and Linux (Ubuntu). I can't say for other platforms but it does run fine on Win 10/11.

 

That is a great game.. I like the developer a lot though.. Big fan of the Monkey Island games.


Currently playing Prince of Persia the lost crown

 

Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew

it's much better than I expected, despite looking cartoony it's an incredible tactical strategy game, and with undead pirates, shiver me timbers!

 

Thx, I didn't know that, but as an old Guybrush fan I'll check it out!

 

Old-school RTS

 

SWAT3 Tactical Game of the Year (Circa 1999-2000?)

A police-centered strategic/tactical game for the PC. I ripped the CD to SDD.

My brother found and passed this off to me this year. I found a way to get it working and am hooked! Very good for a 25 year old game. Genius actually!


Minimum System Requirements: (For a good laugh)

Win 95/98/Win Me/Win 2000

Pentium II 266MHz

64Mb RAM

550Mb HD space (1.1gb install)

800x600 SVGA high color display (16 bit)

8mb video card

DirectX8a (Included on CD)

 

@Nawhak I was never a big fan of AoE II, really liked AoE III and from recent remasters, Age of Mythology Retold is pretty well done in my taste

 

CODM

 

Really great game created by Mimimi Games german developer that sadly closed in 2023 "due to the rising costs of development and not enough revenue being generated". They are also creators of other great games in the "real time strategy" genre, in particular Desperados III and Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, both higly recommended.

Wow, that's really old school! Also, most games at that time were still made in MSDOS (compatibility mode restart)

 

Yup. Nothing like booting to a floppy disk.
I remember doing that for a racing game (just white-dot roadway like driving at night) with REAL floppy "floppies" on my father's computer (the kind or computer I have no idea).
Then a bit later he had a better computer and it used hard "floppies".,
We played SWOTL (Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe).
Then I recall playing Multiplayer Battletech - Solaris on AOL.
That must have been right at 1996, because I recall I then got into computers myself in 1997.
Pentium 100 MHz. Booting into RAMdisk to play Heretic on modem.
I've forgotten all the DOS tricks now, sadly.
