Is there anything like this for the NES?

Developers from this game were not happy during development. I remember a couple saying it was very difficult (a nice way to say their boss was a a****le) and the team disbanded after completion, hence why it never got a sequel despite being a well received title.

After reading about it, it became clear why the game lacked a bit of polish to make it a true AAA title. It was still worth playing, IMHO. Is the closest thing Linuxers got to Gears of War, but with a more realistic setting.

I can enjoy a modern game that pays homage for ancient games from 20, 30 years ago. You feel nostalgic and stuff. Hollow Knight was released too recently for someone to be "paying homage" too it. This is a blatantly ripoff and one of the motives I abandoned AAA gaming in the first place. I came to indies for their courage to innovate. I'm not gonna give money to devs that behave like big studios that are too scared to create something new, and decide to copy someone's home work.

Quoting: Geppeto35I miss some good shoot-them-up like stargunner or entertaining like Apidaya.

The Sky force [External Link]'s game are a nice go for shmup on linux and steam deck, and playing in coop locally with children or friends. I warmly recommend.

I do love Sky Force games. If the developer added the "Tate" view, they would be perfect.

Mods like this let me to continue playing L4D2 for over 10 years. There are dozens of "AAA" maps done by the community, some of them even better than Valve's. All of that plus a regular crew, allowed me to achieve over 3,000 hours of L4D2 gameplay.

That and a lot of very crafty indie games, made me abandon the "AAA" life on PC and focus more on the fun part of a game, instead of being obsessed with graphics and the hardware needed to achieve it.

I greatly appreciated their ports from the previous releases. Some of the big names should take notice on how properly release older titles to modern systems.

Quoting: jonorokAs excited as I am to hear this, it's insane to me to think I played The Witcher 3 at 1440p at 55fps with an fx8350 and two R9 380s in Crossfire, ultra settings (Hairworks disabled, of course.) To think a 7900xt would hit 37 fps just for Ray tracing at the same resolution... I mean, I haven't experienced "RTX ON" or whatever, but surely the payoff just isn't there?

Like someone said elsewhere: ray-tracing is Nvidia's way to convince people that they need to expend over a thousand dollars on a graphics card, just to play a game on maximum settings.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. This thing will burn trough chargers without any remorse. 45W on a gaming handheld?

For over 30 years Nintendo had proven that most consumers buy handhelds for the price and the battery life first, then came other considerations. Every Nintendo competitor bet on more graphical power to lure consumers away, and every single one lost badly.

Now that Valve's Steam Deck is the PC handheld to beat, what every competitor do? More price, more power. And what is worse for MSI? They are coming last to the market with hardware that is worst both in power consumption AND gaming performance. But hey, more competition is better right...

Why the RX 7900 results were lower than the RX 6700 ones?

JJR probably was the PC's most successful "mascot platformer" from the early 90's, before people went crazy on FPS games. But if you consider how bad most western platformers were, the bar wasn't too high tough.
