It was based on Debian Sid when I tried it, so if it still is just a word of warning for anyone looking for rock solid Debian stability, Sid can be a bit more volatile with updates.

I assumed someone already said it

That’s a great list! I disagree with SNES holding up better though. For RPGs yes, but anything else you better go Sega.

I want to suggest some more great Mega drive games:

Haunting starring Polterguy

General Chaos

Mutant League Football

Subterrania

Desert Strike, Jungle Strike

Ranger X

Flink

Shining Force 1 and 2

Flashback

Skeleton Krew

Shadowrun

Wonderboy n Monster World

Skitchin

Phantasy Star 4

All the Ecco games, even Ecco Jr which is just very relaxing to sit and play through

I’ll suggest some great games on master system, I could go on all day about Sega.

Sonic. The 8 bit version is not a port of the 16 but game, it’s a master system exclusive and I’ve always liked it a bit more.

Wonderboy in Monster Land. It’s true Wonderboy 3 is a better game, but it also has a stellar modern remake. Monster Land for me is the Wonderboy go to if I’m during up the SMS. And Monster World for mega drive of course.

Asterix. Just my favourite game when I was a small kid. Pretty much just perfect platforming and if you loved Asterix comics it’s really cool to see it as video games.

Golvellius. An action-adventure, I guess you can liken it to early Zelda games with top down perspective and since side scrolling. Pretty hard but good fun.

Lucky Dime Caper. Another platformer, but Sega killed at making these perfect. It’s Donald Duck.

The Ninja. Top down, like, shooter, I don’t know what the genre is called. Like Ikari Warriors/Commando/etc. but actual fun and really good. Needs strategy, quick reflexes and hunting secrets.

Fantasy Zone 2. My favourite shmup on the system, better than the first one for me. It’s a cute em up. There’s also Fantasy Zone The Maze which is a somewhat Pacman like game set in this world. I played that a lot too, definitely fun and good in 2-player.

Super Monaco GP and World Grand Prix are the racing games I like. 8 bit racing games are simple, but they’re fun.

Tazmania. Another great platformer, this one has Taz from looney tunes. This is streets ahead of the 16 bit version and it’s not even close.

Cloud Master. A shmup I used to love. Going back now I can barely beat the first stage and it has some slowdown so YMMV.

Double Dragon. The beat em up for master system. Looks great. Plays, fine, hit detection is a bit wonky but it’s not bad. Great translation of the arcade game.

Robocop vs Terminator. Great on both Sega systems.

Aztec Adventure. Like Golvellius, it’s a bit early Zelda like, much more straight forward though. You can bribe some enemies to help you which is interesting mechanic.

Nice one. I revisit Shining Force every couple of years or so.

It was one of the best. Just nitpicking but R-type wasn’t a Nintendo series. R-type 3 was developed for SNES.

Calvin and Hobbes still daily posting but from that community specifically. they just did the classic ‘house got broken into’ story.

Home life is great. I love my kids and my partner and they’re all amazing.

but I’m currently taken out of this feeling by stress and anxiety about work. To the point that my partner is concerned about my health. it’s really not good.

NFS 1, 2, 3, Porsche Unleashed. excellent track design. The early parts of the series were the gold standard in track design for me.

Not a pro, but I’m using Endeavour os on a 1st gen Surface Go. it works fine but KDE has some touchscreen quirks I don’t like.

I’m sure you’d be able to just type your delivery address when you order. Is there a reason you would need to have it in a document and then copy and paste it?

Second dos game I ever played was Doom on a 486. My mum was doing a tax return for the local bowls club, and the manager let me play Doom on their computer while she was going through all the paperwork.

A couple years later we got our own Pentium 133mhz and a copy of Doom and Duke 3D.

it will always be a problem with native games.

I think it was about 5 years ago, the Terraria team Linux dev left. Something happened that stopped the Linux build launching, and the native version was not playable until they got a new Linux dev in the team. Proton version worked flawlessly with more stable framerate.

As far as I know the native Undertale build is still unplayable. If it is working now, well it wasn’t for about 6 years.

I see people get excited about native game builds, that’s great but unless it’s a very dedicated team that will update the game constantly it seems to be is no use.
