The Linux-powered Atari VCS has gone through some design changes

I'm still disappointed over their CPU choice. Like I said many months ago, indie games are a lot heavier than you think. Obviously some of that is developer's fault, but not always. They should have choose at last a quad-core CPU with HT. When the ports they will eventually get fail to hit a stable 60 fps, will be too late to justify to their consumers why a PC with off the shelf parts at similar price, have better performance on the same games.

Cyber Shadow published by Yacht Club Games (Shovel Knight) looks awesome & it's coming to Linux

This have Ninja Ryukenden all over it!!! Unless it launches as a bugged mess, instant buy for me, full price and all.

I loved the NES games, unfortunately never managed to finish the first one on the console, but still, one of the greatest franchises of all time.

Unreal Tournament 2004 and Enemy Territory: Quake Wars were among the very few titles that I had to play on Linux before Valve came. Too bad there is no Linux support on the available version on GOG or Steam. And ETQW is completely MIA.

In the shoot 'em up ProtoCorgi, you're a cybernetic pup on a mission to save your owner

So Ein finally got a game of its own.

See you little space cowboy.

Horizon Chase Turbo, the excellent retro-inspired racer has a new car in the latest update

If you've not played it, you're in for a treat as the legendary Barry Leitch (Lotus Turbo Challenge, Top Gear and a great many more) also did the soundtrack for it. It's a fantastic soundtrack too, goes very nicely with it.
Actually, HCT have a couple of Top Gear (music) tracks remixed.

The Game was developed as a homage to SNES Top Gear, as it was immensely popular in Brazil, where the Studio is located.

BulletRage might just be the most over the top twin-stick shooter I've ever played

Twin stick shooters are the type of game I prefer to play on other gamepads than the Steam Controller, since the lack of physical feedback to aim the sticks really disturbs me.

I might get this one, since it reminds me of the excellent Assault Android Cactus. After hundreds of hours and even getting a S+ on the Boss Rush (I started at 9th on the global rank, now only 34th), I need something new to play on the genre.

Toy soldier shooter 'The Mean Greens - Plastic Warfare' has another big update and a price drop

I got it the last time you made a article about it. Seems very nice. I just got in the training map to do some practicing, since I do not like to jump blind on online matches.

The lighting illumination was almost fixed, there still some artifacts in a couple objects on the map, but nothing severe as it was before.

The latest update on Black Mesa shows some good progress on this Half-Life fan game

Black Mesa is very buggy for me, on a RX570 card. Only the beta version works more or less stable, but at a cost of very low performance, even turning down graphic quality settings.

It is a Source engine game, but is nothing like Valve games, or other projects I had tested. Looks like the developers did not have a AMD card or simply didn't care for the quality of the Linux port.

Too bad because the game looks promising, but to play it as is right now is a disappointing experience for me. I tried to get a refund a while ago, before the released a beta that allowed me to start to play it. I regret not getting a refund the day I bought it, naively hopping that the they would make it playable in a short time.

Pikuniku is an absolute surprise, what a joy to play and it's out now with Linux support

Liam, how is the gamepad support? The Steam page says partial support, and that's never a good sign for couch time.

Ultra Off-Road Simulator 2019: Alaska will be supported on Linux with enough requests

Wow, never seen that settings in all these years running Steam. I did set it for Linux already.
