Quoting: GuestI've even been contacted by companies asking me to port the latest version of Stella to RetroArch so they can use it in their product!

I hope you quote them a tidy sum, with the understanding that everyone else gets to use it, too.

Quoting: qptain NemoLands of Lore 1

I still have that one in the original shrink wrap - never did get around to trying it (I have soooo many games with nowhere near enough time). Is it really good?

Quoting: Joeyboots80I love Adventure games

Daedalic has been providing a fairly steady stream of great adventure games, gotta love it.

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.

symlinks to the rescue?

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

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 NemoVery nice of them to actually attribute Westwood studios as the developer on Steam.

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

Quoting: rkfgdevs have to learn to set realistic deadlines on KS.

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.

Quoting: FeistCool! I just bought "Phantasmagoria" on GOGs winter sale

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.

The bribe money is drying up, or it's not a big enough carrot:

Quoting: marcelomendesShroud of the Avatar is unplayable and buggy.

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?
