This is good news. Rayman Legends would be great to check out. Going to wait for the sales, though. Div 2 was $3.74 with Pro and the 3 month free Lenovo code has helped everyone I know in Stadia jump back in and pick up some of these under $5 games. I have about under $40 left of my GRC points but I'm waiting for more cross platform MP games to pick up.

Quoting: slaapliedjeMMOs (specifically WoW) killed our LAN games... but that was many moons ago.

Sorry to hear that. My original crew was 17 deep. We lost some around 2000ish when many of us became parents. Dwindled down to 6 to 9. Then around 2010 spiked back up for a few years to 15 to 17 bi-weekly. Now we are a solid 9 with ppl floating in and out to as high as 23 on good weekends.

Hmm. I'm feeling this. I will hit Microcenter when it comes out and decide then. Right now I downsized a lot of my tech at home and I'm looking to upgrade in 2023 but I can sell my current rig now and get $200 on top of what I paid for it in 2009 and get this instead for my main gaming rig. Hmm Hmm

Quoting: slaapliedjeI'll have to check again and report back about MP. I thought it was really the only thing missing on it (not that I actually like playing games multiplayer with strangers). They do have an amazing high score thing, though I felt like there were AI bots or something that held the top three for every single game....

I don't play games online with strangers myself but I have a lot of friends and family that I play with and online MP is a must have these days since LAN gatherings were killed when the latest pandemic hit.

Quoting: sneakeyboard...and here I am, the outlier, opting for steam due to its built-in controller support...lol. I may look into those GOG clients to see if they offer the feature but don't think it is. Guess that still counts as convenience since you just click a checkbox.

98% of my gaming is on controllers and has been for a very long time. I think the last time I had issues with Linux and controllers was 2002 to 2003 after that I don't recall any issues. Steam is a good store and all of that but they just don't do it for me. I prefer launcher less gaming and since my library is small management is a non-issue.

Quoting: slaapliedjeAntstream works on Linux and hasn't had much of a mention here, but it also has a ton of retro games on it. Though you can feel the latency on some games (like Metal Slug) but I could play Burgertime and such quite well! They have lots of games from arcade to Amiga, etc.

Did they ever add MP to that? The big deal is MP with retro games. Also Metal Slug 1 was SLOW even on the original MVS cab. It's the most unpolished game of the series. Source: Owned and original MVS cab with it and 3 other games from the 90's.

Quoting: TuxeeAnd you have all the games bought previously? I am pretty sure, that the majority of my MAME games are not licensed. (Though some are.)

You can run games that you own if you like. I own all of the SNK releases during the HB and later on GOG releases. All of the Sega Genesis stuff that came out on Steam. I also have a TON of itch.io homebrew games and they work with Retroarch as is and you can use them with this.

I like this. I hope I see it on GOG or itch.io.

Quoting: AkonadyLinux users are willing to pay thousand upon thousand of money on games (closed source) but doesn't want to buy a proper OS and want open source software

I like Linux because I like it.

I have Pro for free til mid-July. I will check out Chronos as the premise is interesting. Right now everyone I know is in love with The Division 2. I'm enjoying it a lot with them as it's the most pick up and go of the games I own on Stadia.
