I do love GOG for their classic games, and what a delivery they have for us today, wow! Cannon Fooder 1 & 2, Leisure Suit Larry Greatest Hits and Misses and Sensible World of Soccer 96/97.

Voxel Blast certainly caught my interest recently, as it reminds me of some really old 3D space shooter games I played as a teen, and the music is pretty damn cool too.

GOG have launched a bunch of new (classic/retro) Dungeons & Dragons games, and they support Linux too which is great.

Organ Trail: Director's Cut was a pretty cool game when I tried it a while ago, and it's great to see it has been updated again with a huge DLC.

GOG have added a bunch of games in the form of three "The Forgotten Realms Archives" collections, and they have some real classics.

Retro City Rampage is a bit of a love letter to the 80's and 90's gaming, and it just had a surprise Linux release.

Slipstream is currently looking for votes on Steam's Greenlight, and it's quite promising. It's very much inspired by older racing games, and the demo is interesting.

GOG have boosted their children's collection with two volumes of Pajama Sam pount and click adventure games.

Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri is a classic tactical shooter that now has a Linux version on GOG, and it's highly rated.

Rogue Invader is a new roguelite game from Squishy Games (Nathan Rees and Lee J Hinkle) that is now counting on your votes on Greenlight. This isometric, 2D sidescroller puts you in the shoes of single soldier sent to defeat alien menace. But due to a clerical error an invading fleet have only one gun and one drop pod.

Is there any stopping GOG right now? They are really heating up the Linux releases recently, and I am sure our DRM free loving fans will snap at these.

Dragon Wars is a very retro turn based fantasy game, and it has been released on your favourite DRM free store with Linux support.

GOG have done it again folks, Prehistorik 1 & 2 which are both games from my childhood have been published on GOG and both support Linux.

The old-school platformer with 16-bit graphics and chiptune music left Early Access on Steam last month, and is now also available DRM free from Desura.

Madspace: To Hell and Beyond is a rather obscure late 90s sci-fi FPS/Space combat game. Thanks to Night Dive Studios this rather unique game has been re-released and is now available on Steam.

More GOG news today folks! Fantasy General is new to GOG and comes with a Linux version, so for the fans of classic games here's another to check out.

Thanks to Night Dive Studios we now have a few more real classic games on Steam for Linux. A chance for some younger gamers to relive the experience.

Looking through Steam’s holiday auction today, I noticed something which excited me and perplexed me at the same time: Airline Tycoon has been ported to Linux and somehow I didn’t notice that one of my favourite business sims of all time had been released now for over a week.

Toast Time is a throwback to the golden age of video games where old-school homebrew titles fused arcade action with a distinctly British sense of humour.

Titles like Nam, Silent Service, Eradicator and more now support Linux on Steam. Night Dive Studios seem to have done another Linux push on Steam for this to happen.
