What other classics would you like to see revived for modern stores and platforms? Let us know in the comments. There's likely thousands that could do well with a proper re-release don't you think? Some older games just have an atmosphere that plenty of modern games can't touch, although there's a bit of nostalgia at play there at times.

Quoting: LeopardThe shit thing with this updated port is that the PC version doesn't even have proper gamepad support. It is the reason I never beat it (though steam says I have 13.8 hours in it! Probably all the times I have tried to get it to work). On the Steam Deck I had to use a different gamepad profile for me to even get into a game... they should patch in Steam Input then it would be all happy.Quoting: slaapliedjeQuoting: LeopardHuh, which Bard's Tale did they port, the top down version? I don't think I have ran into that bug on it. I should try it on my Deck.QuoteSquare One Games Inc.
Oh no. Those guys are the worst when it comes to Linux support.
Their Bards Tale port for Linux has an input bug that makes character run in a direction non stop for years. I've tried to reach them via multiple channels but they don't just don't respond.

Quoting: LeopardWhile I have not had this issue with the input bug, it is kind of silly that the game can clearly detect if you have a gamepad, yet does not automatically turn it on and you have to use your mouse / other pointing device to turn it on. I couldn't get 'proper' gamepad support to work on the Steam Deck at all, and had to use a wasd controller layout that a community member made.QuoteSquare One Games Inc.
