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.

Someone emailed in asking me to check out Bullshot, so I did, and It's easily one the stupidest games I've played to date. The graphics really are quite awesome though.

I have it confirmed by the publisher that story-driven, fast-paced, retro-aesthetic platformer 'Until I Have You' will come to Linux after release.

1993 Space Machine a game that was originally supposed to be on Amiga, but never released is out for other platforms. The developer has confirmed it's on its way to Linux.

Atari Vault launched without the mentioned SteamOS/Linux support, and no mention in their release announcement. I have now managed to get a response for you all.

This is lovely news, Atari Vault a new official collection of 100 classic games is heading to SteamOS & Linux

Join top CIA tough guy, Snake Logan as he battles for his life against ferocious monsters created by an evil and twisted mastermind. A free game now available on Linux thanks to GOG.

Turok: Dinosaur Hunter takes the best from the N64 and PC versions, puts them into a new engine and then released into the wild. It looks like the developers are planning a Linux release too.

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.
