Pier Solar HD 16bit RPG Launching Soon For Linux, New Teaser Trailer
By DrMcCoy, 6 March 2014 at 7:19 pm UTC

QuoteWhen I say a true 16-bit RPG I mean it, it was actually released on the Sega Megadrive

That's pretty neat. :)
Though I probably would prefer them bundling the original game with a Mega Drive emulator instead of doing a remake.

Does it at least contain a YM2612 emulator for the music? I'm a sucker for those synth ICs...

Maybe Linux support has been added later, I am always using Linux only filter and checking the most recent ones.

Wasteland 1 The Original Classic Survival RPG Heading To Desura, DRM Free Fans Go Wild
By Shmerl, 6 March 2014 at 6:23 pm UTC

I have a CD version with voice acting which works in ScummVM fine. Steam obviously uses something else. I use that and FM Towns version which has no voice acting but has full dialogs and close up portraits (it works in ScummVM as well).

For more details about versions, see http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/loom/loom.htm
And here is another great article I discovered recently: http://mixnmojo.com/features/sitefeatures/LucasArts-Secret-History-Loom

Quoting: ShmerlI'm not sure that it's always the case. Somehow Steam managed to poison Loom for example, that it's not playable in ScummVM. At least that's what I've heard (I'm not using Steam so I can't verify that).

Well, Steam has re-released the CD-Version from 1992 of Loom including voices, which is kinda messed up, and not the original DOS-Version from 1990.

More about it: http://steamreview.org/external/loom/

I recommend the Amiga-Version of Loom anyway. IMHO the best :)

No information is sent to google, we just use their CND for jquery a javascript library gol needs to function, if something is blocking it then tell it not to.

Also in future, feedback is meant for the feedback forum, I tend to miss comments a lot.

Quoting: Crazy PenguinSure it is DRM-Free! It's not possible to put the Steam-Stuff into an old DOS-Game :D. The "linux version" is the DOS-Game bundled with the native Linux DOSBox binaries. Which doesn't count as linux version in my book :D

Quoting: GNU_DawnThe linux version on steam is already drm free. At lease I can move the files and launch the game without steam open in the background. That counts as drm free in my book.

No 3d games (no 32 bits systems like ps1 or saturn), and a very old kernel... It's for low computers systems ?

New SOMA Teaser Trailer From Frictional Games

Quoting: scaineExcited for this one, with a tinge of caution after the slightly disappointing Machine For Pigs. This looks superb. Like a cross between The Thing and the original System Shock.
Machine For Pigs was developed by another team, so it has different atmosphere.

Looked nice. Tried installing on my laptop and it detected almost none of my hardware. It didn't even detect my HDD. Perhaps I will try again whenever they decide to update it. Downloading Groovy Arcade Arch instead.

Halfway, A Futuristic Turn Based Strategy Game Development Update
By scaine, 5 March 2014 at 10:31 pm UTC

This looks superb, but as a developer, they need to blog more. Up until two days ago, their site carried the same "Merry Christmas" message/blog post that they created on December 21st. To a casual visitor, the site would look like a dead project.

Very excited to play this though. Like a cross between Rebelstar Raiders and the recent Xcom remake. It looks excellent.
