Quoting: TcheyThe issue i find with late ports is that they are too late, most of the time. Other games came in the mid-time, and list of "to play" games is only going longer. Also, for online play, when Linux comes late, it also means the main activity around the game is done, and player base moved to another title.

Agreed but an LAN version can still have life if released. Games like Skullgirls comes to mind the DRM-Free version is just LAN and SP only while the Online MP version exist on Steam.

Man. I've seen this stuff happening for a long time. If you walk into these small electronic shops in NYC or even some of the big box stores, you will see all types of devices being sold by fly-by-night companies and it's some distro running an emulator with some ROMS on it and I am pretty such they not giving anything back to anyone.

I was pretty excited to see the NeoGeo stuff release via Humble Bundle when it first came out because it gave ppl a chance to legally try these games either with the install or with MAME if you wanted to.

I remember using Stella a long time ago to play some games at an NYU game jam where ppl made 2600 games with different themes. It was a solid emulator.

This stuff is so murky it has me staying away from emulators for a long minute.

That's why I almost don't use HB at all these days. To save the frustration of Steam only releases there :)

I'll wait til it's on GOG or itch.io.

I'm 4 pages into the sales page and I don't see anything accept for STEAM only sales? Is there a way to filter this by store/DD?

Never mind. I was on my phone and could not see the side section.

I can't remember if I play Battle Chess on Amiga or DOS. I do remember that I got the game from a disk that was part of a book about learning computers and intro to coding. It had 5 floppies on it full of games and the code behind the game.

Playing FlatOut 2 with my kids. Hooked up some nice race wheels we picked up for a thrift store for $5 each and they both work pretty sweetly.

I am also playing some Mugen games to brush up on my combos - 'The Black Heart' and 'Marvel vs DC - Champions of Destiny' - I have friends coming over tomorrow to help me repaint my garage and I have these games setup on the HTPC in my basement for some 1 on 1 play.

I am also checking out 'Two Worlds Epic Edition' - not really into RPGs of this nature but I picked it up during the recent sale to give it a spin. Seems OK but the walking around has already started to get on my nerves but I am trying to have some patients.

Playing Xonotic on Sunday @ the Makers Faire LAN.
