Strife: Quest for the Sigil was both a critical and commercial disappointment for Rogue Entertainment in 1996, and the source code to the game was mislaid by its developers.

The developers of 'Hyper Sentinel' have confirmed on Twitter that their retro throwback will support Linux and at my request they now list it on their Kickstarter too.

In Alwa's Awakening you are a stranger who has been summoned to help rid Alwa of evil! A very retro throwback at the NES era and it pulls it off pretty well.

This action-adventure platformer Gunmetal Arcadia, with smooth retro-styled art, was released earlier in the week.

'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.
