For the low price of *free*, adventure gamers should check out this nicely done fan-made sequel:

It's "only" the prologue, but it's 2-4 hours of fun if you aren't rushing through.

Quoting: cc2600I just read in the latest patch notes that redshell was removed from the windows version

Apparently a rash of negative reviews is an effective clue-hammer. :-p

Regarding the cross-platform multi-player, I got the impression it did in fact require changes in the Windows build as well; fortunately, Firaxis seems to take patches/feedback from Aspyr, rather than just handing off the code and completely washing their hands of it.

Quoting: liamdaweThey did also get $15K from a Kickstarter as well.

Having backed it on Kickstarter, I was not at all disappointed. I thought it was a very nicely done game.

Quoting: EikeAnybody knows if there's a chance for the Monkey Island 1 & 2 remasters?

FWIW, those worked quite well in WINE (along with Telltale's Tales of Monkey Island) when I played them a few years ago.

Quoting: KeyrockI have high hopes for this game, as it has Chris Avellone as its narrative designer.

That guy sure gets around! (in a good way; I always see his name associated with highly reviewed games)

I seem to recall when account creation first started, but I tend to lurk a long time without creating accounts, lol! Thanks Liam for sticking around, and only quitting for short periods both times. :)

Quoting: wolfyrionI am using Linux for work and other things as well but I dont think I will ever dualboot
I have a PS4 just to play AAA Titles (if I ever have time) that I cant play on Linux.
(Imagine that I have Resident Evil 7 , God of War,Monster Hunter,Shadow of the Colossus + so many other AAA tittles and I havent played anything so far)

I have "dual-booted" Linux, DOS, and OS/2, but the only version of Windows I have had installed on my computers was Windows 3.1, over 20 years ago. My extensive "backlog of shame" covers stacks of DOS games, PS2, PS3, PS4, and even a handful of Wii games. Whenever someone asks me "why not install Windows so you get more games," I have to mention the huge stacks of games I will probably never get to... :-p
