Wow, that’s some old-school!

Last Bruce Lee game i’ve played was SEGA fighting:

Very cool game, pretty hard too :sweat_smile:

Not to brag, or anything, but me and Bruce Lee share the same birthday :wink:

I’m also thinking to crank up my old sims 3 saves and do some tweaking to it, so I can start playing that again.

Started yesterday with one of my all-time favorites…

But since I’ve played it so much I thought I’d move on to another fav

But I kind of wanted to play something newer, so I started playing Ghost of Tsushima on PS4… on Linux… with an Xbox Controller. It feels so wrong, yet so right.

I’m the opposite :upside_down_face: recently I’ve been wanting to play older games. Im thinking to also emulate a couple of old school platformers, or strategy games.

Ghost of Tsushima looks awesome btw!! Hope you’re enjoying it.

Streets of rage 2 :boom: :heart_eyes:

For some reason seeing it just triggered my memory with one of the best intro-soundtracks for NES:

Gotta play it NOW! :yum:

@Janinah

Same here, nostalgia old-school! :space_invader:

But don’t miss on PC gaming though, probably some useful info will arise :wink: :partying_face:

That guide is amazing, it’s a great resource. :nerd_face: Kudos for writing it, it must have taken a while. I think it’s a good starting point for Linux gamers regardless what distro they’re on.

Thx, that was the plan! :slight_smile:
It will get better with time, so much to tell, so little time… :space_invader:

Naaah, just couple of hours.
It was very easy, almost as easy as completing Battletoads on NES :rofl:

You know, I always thought you seemed like an honest individual, but the above statement proves undoubtedly that you are a liar :rofl:
(I’m just joking of course, it’s just that I still haven’t got over the trauma of Level 3 - Turbo Tunnel)

Only for giggles :joy:

What doesn’t kill you - makes you battletoad :frog:

I still have flashbacks of rage-quitting and strong will to throw TV out of window…

I am not playing anything on Linux.
I tend to get stuck on “big” games for a long time, just playing one or two games at a time.

As for the last month I have been playing Forza horizon 4 and before that Sims 4 for a year.

I played a lot of 8-bit games in the past, destroyed a joystick with Summer/Winter/California Games, but now I simply cannot play these anymore, nor modern games in 8-bit graphics. It gives me eye cancer :blush:

Oh wait! One exception: Monster Sanctuary.
Have fun!

You’ve stuck in a past! :smile:
How about some extra-futuristic 16 bit games?!

For example today i have played a little with that masterpiece of Earth Worm Jim

I’m not fan of RTS games, but for those who are Iron harvest might be of interest:


Personally once i’ll have free-time on my hands i really want to re-play original Deus Ex, it’s 2020 after all :laughing: :alien: :robot:

Try Project Cars 3, I’m a Forza fan and that’s been scratching my itch, plus it runs well through proton.

I wish I could get Assetto Corsa to run. I have PC2, but for some reason I preferred AC. To be honest though, I have barely spent time on either.

Probably without DXVK it won’t work :frowning:
Try to use wine-staging or GloriousEggroll engine and this winetricks:

d3dx11_43
d3dcompiler_43
dotnet472
win7

According to protondb / lutris that should get you started, but again - they all must be using DXVK as well, so there’s no guarantee without it.

Still worth a shot!

If you still have more how and why questions - read more carefully here on Linux gaming :wink:
