In its current Weekly Sale, GOG is featuring a couple of games with Linux support from the late 80's and 90's. You have until Monday to buy them.

Lost Eden, a classic from 1995 has been released on GOG and it has Linux support right away thanks to DOSBox.

Thanks to GOG and DOSBox, Linux gamers can enjoy the classic crazy racing game Ignition, which originally released in 1997.

Avenger Bird, a pretty nice looking retro inspired side-scroller is now available on Steam with Linux support.

I am a Pizza addict and now I think I finally realize why. I played a lot of Pizza Tycoon when I was younger and I think it had an effect on me. It's now available on GOG with Linux support.

GOG have put up two more classic games with Linux support today with Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade and Stunt Island.

The developer of Super Rad Raygun sent in a key for me to check out their retro-inspired action platformer.

The developers of Alwa's Awakening contacted me to let you all know that they are going to need help testing the Linux version of their game.

The game finally has its finished version available on Steam since November 17th. If you count all the reviews from Steam users so far, it has collected 187 positive ones against 6 negatives only. There is also a demo available.

Gunmetal Arcadia Zero from J. Kyle Pittman (Super Win the Game) and Minor Key Games (Slayer Shock) is now available on Steam for Linux.

'Super Rad Raygun' is a very retro looking action game with a visual style much like on the original gameboy. With it's sweet monochrome graphics, it's a blast from the past with a modern take.

Wine is a rather heated topic at the best of times, but I think we can all agree what the Wine developers have been able to achieve is nothing short of extraordinary. Wine enabled me to re-live an experience I had with a game as a child, and I felt the need to share it.

'Titus the Fox: To Marrakech and Back', a platformer from 1992 that was originally released for the Amiga, but now it has a Linux version on GOG.

Life of Pixel is a game that has been on Linux for quite some time, it originally released back in 2014 and I've finally given it a go. You're essentially playing through the graphical history of multiple eras.

Excellent news for those who requested a Linux version for this demake, as the Linux port has been released as requested.

FOX n FORESTS, a 16-Bit style action platformer that has adventure and puzzle elements is on Kickstarter, it looks good and promises Linux support, so I asked about the status of the Linux version.

Beat Cop is a rather interesting looking 80s inspired pixel art adventure game due out later this year, and it finally has a fresh trailer.

A little bit of gaming history just got the MIT license treatment. Habitat from Lucasfilm Games is now available under the MIT license on github.

We have had to wait a little while for this, but it seems Atari Vault for Linux isn't too far away now. The developers are taking on closed beta testers.

I really liked Retro-Pixel Castles when I played it initially last year, and after trying it again now it has had some major updates I have some more thoughts on it.
