look fun in the trailer.
I tried the first game and I found it very difficult.

Play more classics including one from 1976 with a new ScummVM release

Quoting: UnixOutlawI recently bought Blade Runner from Gog, thinking it was something "recent" (it wasn't 'recent'), anyway I downloaded the Linux version anyway, and it wouldn't run - then I figured out - "it's just a ScummvM game", so I can probably figure how to run it in ScummVM, but haven't gotten around to that yet...

Played Monkey Island 1 via ScummVM on my NTC PocketChip (single core ARM 512 RAM) a couple years back and that ran perfectly...
There is a Lutris script for that game, did you try it?

Works great, except the menu is hard to read (so small :)).
Did you try "Override GUI scaling" + "GUI scaling factor" in "Video" preferences ?
"Override Font scaling" + "Font scaling factor" could help too.

Good news, I'm going again to hunt zombies on this date!

AntiMicroX, fork of the popular keyboard to gamepad mapping app has a new release

Very good news, I use Antimicro for a long time now with old games and it is a very useful tool for Linux gamers.
Happy to see new coders continue to maintain it.

Quoting: TheLinuxPlebDoes anyone know that can it do numpad buttons? In Tomb Raider i had a problem where i would have needed to use numpad button to do stuff. It could be that there could be other old games that would benefit from having the numpad there

That would be a great addition to it, i think.
I wrote Antimicro config profiles for Tomb Raider I, you could find them on my Github account:

It could help you.

Quoting: ShabbyXYou would think Valve could have just nicely asked them to use their Vulkan-only path if they detected wine, and let proton deal with potential issues.

Would have taken probably one hour for the develpers to add an 'if (wine)' in the code.
But Who will pay this guy to modify code for Linux players? Rockstar? Nope. Only Linux gamers community and now Valve could help here. I think Google (Stavia), Microsoft (Xbox) and Sony (Playstation) participate financially in the development of games on their platform and devs could refer to a SDK. On Linux, it's much more complicated.
