Also have a look at Battle Mania: Daiginjo for Genesis / Mega Drive. A side scrolling shmup where you control anime girls. It’s Japanese, but you actually don’t need to understand. Otherwise there should be translations available.

You will get lots of games recommended, so I will make it short and only mention something that is not talked already in this thread.

Mega Drive / Genesis

• World of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck: My favorite Mickey game of all time. It has a two player co-op mode too.
• Thunder Force 3: An awesome and peak side scrolling oldschool shmup, from one of the best in the industry. Also killer soundtrack.

Master System

• Zillion: A platform Act/Adventure with a bit of Metroidvania and puzzle solving in it.
• Wonder Boy 3 The Dragon’s Trap: Another side scrolling Act/Adventure. This one is a bit more of the Zelda 2 likes than anything else.

Oh no AppImage is not sandboxed, people didn’t say that. You probably mean people say Flatpak is sandboxed. And the Flatpak version here is not affected. I personally use AppImages too, knowing its not sandboxed at all and aware of the dangers. AppImage is “just” like a self extracting Zip archive, but with some extra tricks. Flatpak on the other hand is sandboxed and limits the access to your system and files, depending on the configuration of the package.

From their messag:

There are currently no known reliable traces

Isn’t a checksum of the files a reliable enough way to check? Edit: Ah yes, at the bottom of their message they do exactly that. If one executed the programs, then they are affected I assume:

If you are unsure whether your binaries are compromised here are hashes of the GOOD files:

Why is the site for 18+ only?

Better use the actual -site:domain function to filter out by domain directly. You can in example search everything about Reddit, without results from Reddit itself:

reddit -site:reddit.com -site:redditinc.com -site:reddithelp.com

Reddit Starts Blocking Mobile Website, Pushing Users to Lemmy Instead

I’ve corrected the headline for you. Thank me later, alligator.

Neo Geo owners had the biggest games!

How about “Overlookable”?

Fun fact:

What a great website and history preserving archive. Very interesting.

Back when Cyberpunk 2077 was said to have a smaller map than GTA 5, people were upset. Cyberpunk has more content per area and a more interesting structure in the city to me. It has more verticality to it. Yes, GTA 5 is overall bigger in content too, by sheer amount of size and whats available. But comparing Skyrim am Daggerfall just the area size of the map is not a good approach, as these are RPGs and there is more to it than just the map.

Edit: My goodness the typos…

The bigger and more empty (or filled with nothing important) the map is, the worse the game becomes. I can’t judge those two games map yet, but from experience I prefer smaller and more dense and interesting maps. Especially if we talk about RPGs and Adventure games.

To me Playstation 2 is still next gen.

To me there is a clear distinction between both types. Sometimes it gets blurry if they use different techniques from both sides. There is also the term “Port”, which is less of a “Remaster”. So its even more blurry, even when I try to formally describe it. Here is my definition:

• Remaster: Basically taking the same code and base and “recompile” it for a new version. Graphics are usually not remade, programming code is the same (but with touch ups off course). Rather it has higher resolution output from original graphics, like higher res textures compiled from original resources, adding functionality to make the game compatible with modern hardware and features like HDR and gamepads in example.
• Remake: Making a new game from scratch, programming it again (off course they can take over old stuff), with new graphics to approximate the same game. Sometimes they even manage to make the game look and feel the same, where people think its a Remaster. But in fact it is programmed from scratch and has no common source in anymore, it is just faithfully recreated.

Off course this is just one mans definition. And both terms are used somewhere in between, and people don’t share my opinion. Therefore I never know if the game is a Remaster or Remake actually.

Isn’t this a Remake rather than Remaster?

I doubt it runs on linux. Last time I tried 15 years ago, it ran but everything was black and the mouse wouldn’t capture within the game window.

Civ Revolution is not available for PC. So did you try a different Civ game on Linux? If you want play the PS3 version again and have a powerful machine, then emulating PS3 with RPCS3 is an option. The compatibility rating for the game on the emulator is rated as Playable.

EDIT: Oh you was talking about Civ3! Looks like I can’t read, sorry. Well Looking at recent ProtonDB user reports, looks like Civ3 is playable on Linux. But its not perfect, reports say without music and you need to install C3X. I personally have no experience, so cannot assist further.

I don’t even know what All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros is.

It’s basically an official licensed Romhack, mostly (if not only I think) for graphics. “All Night Nippon” was a radio show and game was sold through lottery.
