Tanooki Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I've been tempted to grab that, just never could enjoy RT enough in the era despite liking the designs, just felt too foreign compared to what Konami was doing at the time.

Steven Pendleton Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Lots of really shooting games on Steam on sale right now: Game Tengoku, Deathsmiles, Mushihimesame, Mushihimesama V1.5, DDP Resurrection, R-Type Dimensions EX, Ikaruga, Caladrius Blaze, and Dariusburst Chronicle Saviours are all on sale right now. I got Game Tengoku and its DLC and it's okay, I guess. Probably should have gotten Mushihimesama or DDP instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimerians Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 (edited) Bundle for Ukraine, including over a thousand games (of the tabletop and virtual variety) Itch.io. $10 donation and it's all yours: https://itch.io/b/1316/bundle-for-ukraine Edit: For anyone not familiar with Itch.io the bundle above for all those games (34 pages of downloads)...is for full downloadable games. No keys, no clients required. If you want a client you can use Steam, GOG or Playnite etc and add the games there. Obviously a ton of work.

I got the Covid one and really haven't even scratched the surface. I wonder if there is a lot of overlap? Edit - the other bundle was called the "Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality." There probably is a lot of overlap, but I've got both now because . . . charity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 It's already at 106% of hoped for (1M = 100%) and I'm curious if we keep a notice on this to follow up we can see where it ends up in the end. 6500 in games for $10 or more. It's overkill, but it's not about the handhout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't have guessed this, but perhaps itch.io is mainly a thing in the USA? Else I would expect this Ukraine one to be higher. Another factor is that the last one was smack dab in the "early" part of the pandemic when people were still all sitting at home looking for stuff to do.

I totally forgot I got that one too, I probably have a million games waiting there to download now lol, have no idea if itch.io is international but yeah tons of people were home at the time. At 119% now... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Now it's back to 98% because they upped the ante to 2M dollars. It's climbing fast. This is a real need here given the bigger global implications vs other stuff which is more domestic legit issue crossed with political pandering.

doug0909 Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Thanks, gave a little extra for a good cause. Someone came out with a guide for the racial justice pack, listing what they considered the best games. That was very helpful. I hope someone does that for this huge pack, but charity money well spent regardless... I wonder if there are any games relevant to resisting wrongful invasion, or sliding into totalitarianism ... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though Neutron is PAL only but works on NTSC C64s and I prefer the faster speed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a glorified demo though. I didn't play it long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know on itch.io you don't have to add them to a library that is publicly viewable... but you've never had a friend or family member see what you are playing? I have a sibling on my Steam friends list, for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been really enjoying this, although there is a lot to weed through. Ynglet and Antecrypt have been highlights so far. I haven't played many indie games, so this has been fun. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 That's the best discount that has hit so far if I remember right. I was surprised though to see that retail at best buy who is a LRG partner, they still sell both box sets for the game if you want all the fluff.

Steven Pendleton Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) Mirror's Edge Catalyst is 90% off on Steam right now. 200 yen for me, so probably $2 USD or equivalent elsewhere. I already have it on Origin, but it's a good game. 13 hours ago, Tanooki said: That's the best discount that has hit so far if I remember right.

Definitely get it now while it's super cheap if you want it and don't have it already. It's so good. Playing it did make it quite apparent that some of the missions, specifically the no-base missions, are pretty much garbage, but otherwise...
