Quoting: CyberwormOh wow, didn't know MicroProse still existed

Because it didn't. It was closed down in 2000 and revived in 2019.

Quoting: slaapliedjeItch.io is odd. Like I think I bought some giant RPG bundle, but only ever get 'this thing has been updated' for one of them.

After the first giant bundle, some people complained about getting their library cluttered, so itch.io changed it so that you need to manually "activate" the games you bought in a bundle in order for them to appear in the library. For compulsive collectors, like me, it's of course suboptimal; fortunately there's a tampermonkey script that will do it for you: https://gist.github.com/lats/c920866caf9c0cb04e82abba411e1bb9 [External Link]

Anything great in this one?

tick the current bundle in the filters on the left and then you can sort e.g. by popularity or steam rating.

Well of course they'll keep releasing their catalogue for PSP Vita SteamDeck.

> Why now though?

Perhaps they want to prevent Dolphin from being discovered and easily available for the SteamDeck crowd?

Quoting: hardpenguinHeck yes. Probably my favorite HoMM game.

Is it better than HoMM3? It looks better, but what about gameplay?

Quoting: slaapliedjeSteam has had Demos for a long time, but of course it has depended on the developer. So is the Trial just time limited "you can play the first 30m of the game" Seems like it'd be much easier to deal with, that's for sure (from a developer's point of view). Wonder how this works with Early Access games... Like do they renew the trial whenever there is a huge new patch?

On the one hand, it might be better to just play the actual game (albeit for a limited time) than the demo (case in point: Dying Light's demo was not especially convincing, because the player was dropped into the middle of a late game mission; playing the game since the beginning was much more enjoyable and I was very glad I eventually bought it despite playing the demo), on the other hand in some games it takes 1h to get through the introduction, and also the time is still flowing if you need to step away from the computer and leave the game open (young parents probably know it all too well). We'll see how it goes.

That absolutely looks like something I'd be tempted to buy, fortunately it's not available in my country. :whistle:

Quoting: rea987IDK, there are so many abandonware titles related with Activision due to licensing issues, I would prefer Activision to be absorbed by Microsoft which might lessen the issue a bit.

Damn, there goes my hope for The Lost Vikings 3. :cry:

Am I ignorant or does that sentence make no sense?
