I’ve been playing retro games recently. Metal Slug X, Hydro Thunder, and trying to get into MGS1. Playing on either PSX or Dreamcast

I personally enjoy that game! However, I think it’s a little too in-depth/complicated for little kids

Do you know about Donkey Kong Classics on the SNES? Is that or DK for GB more worthwhile?

Great ideas! Maybe I can non chalantly question him about shows his kids enjoy

I’ll look into that, thank you for the heads up.

Edit: Just read about the GB version and it looks great. Thanks for the suggestion!

F Zero could be good! I did remove Tekken 3 already. My picks were SoulCalibur then Virtua Fighter 2 then Tekken 3 but decided to only keep SC to minimize the amount of games

No worries. I appreciate the suggestion!

I’ve got A Link to the Past & Four Sword combo on the list

Halo Combat Devolved is fun. I think you’ll need to put it on a cartridge yourself though.

Have you heard of PhotoGIMP? It’s a mod that changes GIMP to resemble photoshop. Also, just for photography, not manipulation, I’d suggest Darktable. Bruce Williams Photography on YouTube has great tutorials on it.

Have you put it on GoG? I will never loan another game from Steam

A Plague Tale is a great one

It’s the unfortunate reality of collectible things. Cars are like that too but at least you can emulate games for free but you can’t build a kit car replica for free

Try using GoG through the Heroic Games Launcher and Proton-GE. It works really really good.

I know of Gradius Galaxies and Iridian II

Been playing Shadow of Mordor again to tie in with Celebrimbor from Rings of Power. However, I found that RoP is terrible but the game is still great.

Been replaying Detroit: Become Human. The first time i tired playing years ago on Windows it would crash all the time. Now that I’m on Linux it runs great. I just beat the game amd have to say that it is an absolute masterpiece. So many options to choose from but at least from what I choose the story held together flawlessly.

Thanks. The Companion app never seemed to work on my sandboxed Google Play profile on GrapheneOS however. I’ve since found Golden Cheetah which is a native Linux program and totally free. Zwift raising their price was the final straw for me to move on and I’m grateful for it.

GC works perfectly on Linux Mint with my Garmin USB ANT+ dongle, Garmin heart rate strap, and retains all the functionality with my Zwift Hub trainer if anyone is curious.

I was playing Falcon 3 on DOS. 1991

Besides that I played some Bosconian from the arcade, 1981 and 1943: Battle for Midway on the arcade, 1987
