I think they should have called it "Jun(i)e Tunes"

The image in the article is from Locomotion, right? Transport Tycoon is more or less the same as Transport Tycoon Deluxe. But I guess it's not abandonware anymore

I had a pirated version of this back in the DOS days...
Thanks for bringing back those memories.

(Btw: Does anyone know where one could download a legal copy of this game to play in DOSBox? Seems GoG does not have it :sad:.)
Unfortunately I don't know if it's legally available for download anywhere. However, you might be lucky and find a second hand copy on Amazon, Ebay or similar sites. Rally Championship is available on CD because the game uses the CD-tracks as in-game music, so you don't need a legacy PC with a floppy drive to install it.

Seems like it might be a modern take on the the Incredible Machine series [External Link], which I've got a lot of fond memories from playing

Quoting: PhiladelphusIt's on my wishlist, ooh, and it's on sale until March 6. I quite enjoyed LEGO Builder's Journey, sooo…why do you keep doing this to my poor wallet, Liam? What did it ever do to you? :tongue:

Fake edit: Oh, it's also <1 GB, nice and small. :smile:
Why has it got a better discount on Steam than on Gog? 🤔

Quoting: katp32Anyone know if this bundle includes DRM free copies or just Steam keys? Last time I bought a bundle I was disappointed :<
Seems like the only drm free content is the ebooks. All of the games must be redeemed on Steam

Trackmania heads to Steam and the devs say it's playable on Steam Deck

Quoting: gbudnyI have never played this game, but it reminded me Maniadrive.
It has a Linux version, and I spent many hours playing it.
I still listen to songs from this game.

I think ManiaDrive is an open source clone of the original TrackMania [External Link], which (I guess) got the idea from the Brøderbund game Stunts [External Link].

Unfortunately, the original TrackMaina is impossible to run using Wine because of the [StarForce protection](), which also makes it impossible to run on modern versions of Windows. So the only way to run it now is by using a VM running Windows XP (or similar).

I guess it should be possible to get accelerated graphics in an old VM using Zink or DXVK, but I haven't investigated if it's possible to do with Windows XP. Another way is of course to use GPU passthrough, but I guess new GPU's don't get XP drivers.

Classic Sonic games being delisted to make way for Sonic Origins

What are the 100 bonus coins for? Is it for buying extra dlc or content in-game (why bother listing it if its for in-game usage) ?
