Quoting: AnonymousYes that is correct, you cant play the HD titles, but as I was saying earlier you can play the included serious sam first and second encounter classic editions which are included in the bundle if you beat the average. So you can put them back on the list but switch the word HD for Classic. I can even make an install guide if that helps.

No need really. Since they are included with Serious Sam 3 BFE, I've just updated that sale to mention these two games.

I'd like to edit the last Cheapskate's Corner to explain all this issue in detail but unfortunately I'm still struggling with this week's (already overdue) The Funding Crowd column, so I don't really have the time... :(

Alright, I removed the HD 1st & 2nd Encounters from the sales list. I just hope we didn't induce anyone into buying the bundle under false expectations... :S:

Quoting: EdgarBut not the HD versions, right?

Yeah, at first I found it odd, but the Anonymous poster clearly states that he/she was able to install and play the First & Second Encounter games from the Humble Bundle, so...

I don't own these games, can anyone confirm that they can be installed with the old installers and played natively?

Quoting: AnonymousI was able to install serious sam first and second encounter natively from the humble bundle using the old beta linux installers.

I didn't realize that old SS games could be played on Linux. I'm adding them to the sales page while the Humble Weekly Sale is on!

I could certainly be the puzzler-platformers' advocate (the more retro and pixelated the better :P) but I honestly think two weekly columns are enough...

For instance, I'd love to write a little piece about this (Unity3D-made) little marvel [External Link] I discovered a couple of days ago thanks to the LGC [External Link]. Maybe I'll do it on Monday. ^_^

Hi bob, thanks for your contribution to the crowdfunding wiki. It's been the first one in a long time that wasn't submitted by me, I appreciated that! :D

Shame on me as I totally missed [Quintet](http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/carmine/quintet-for-android), although in my defense I must say that I wasn't systematically contacting campaign creators back then and that at the beginning they promoted it as an Android-only game.

I'm taking that your submission wasn't meant as an article but as a heads-up on the issue. But I'll be mentioning it for sure on the next Funding Crowd. ^_^

Quoting: AnonymousYou do not need Windows to extract the Adventure Game Studio games - they are all Inno Setup archives (at least they were the last time I looked) which can be extracted with http://constexpr.org/innoextract/ [External Link] on Linux. Just call innoextract on the .exe file.

Thanks for the tip! I've duly updated the article to include your advice.

And I've also added to the article the new Amazon.com Indie Games section and its inaugural discounts. Don't miss the opportunity to check them out!

Quite true, I'd never noticed... :whistle:

I happen to like this font, so I've tried stretching the question marks to make them less mistakable with exclamation marks. Much better now, right?
