Quoting: DuncThe trouble I have with open-source games is that I never make my system partition big enough to install them with the package manager. All my usual applications and their requisite libraries are fine, but a big lump of game resources? Forget it.

Disney's The Lion King & The Jungle Book now have Linux support on Steam

I guess they have been gone too long; us old farts are showing our age. :)

Eye of the Beholder series (early dungeon crawler), Dune II (early RTS before Warcraft), Kyrandia series (adventures in the vein of Daedalic), Command & Conquer series (I think most people know these, at least), Blade Runner (I deigned to have Windows 95 on a Jaz drive just to play this - wouldn't infect my hard drive!).
Yet another great studio murdered by EA.

Quoting: qptain NemoI don't believe there is any other Westwood game on Steam at the moment.

They made some great classics; doesn't look like they are attributed with much on Steam, though:

I was quite surprised that KingArt met their deadlines so well (Battle Worlds Kronos, Book of Unwritten Tales 2, etc.), as it is indeed quite rare.

Never played the second one, but the first game was excellent! That and Gabriel Knight II were two of the best FMV games, along with the Tex Murphy series.

Quoting: TheRiddickMS has paid allot of money into developers to do DX12, that is why it often gets support first.

Been a few months since I played it, but it was working pretty well for quite a while, at least back when they had the monthly quests for new hats. Has it gotten less stable with their recent optimization efforts?

Quoting: marcelomendesShroud of the Avatar is unplayable and buggy.

Quoting: EikeQuoting: qptain NemoIf you're into story-driven stuff, The Detail is a very neat solid crime thriller.I already had a look at it today but was held back from the negative reviews saying it lacks in choices making a difference.
