What has happened to prime? It seems like you can't access the latest free games, my Prime client only shows Prime Luna games that are currently available after an update. Is this the end of the downloadable Amazon games? Does anyone have an alternate route rather than through the prime gaming App to access the latest free downloadable games?

I found a link: https://luna.amazon.com/claims/home

Stasis on GOG.com for the next seventy hours. (It looks like the "free" part may not be set up yet on the game's page, just give it some time.)

It looks like sometime in the past couple of months that the Steam client in Linux started including all Windows games in the penguin icon. Previously this was only Linux games.
I'll need to go back and delete all the Windows games downloaded via the Steam client in Linux since I already download them all in Windows.

What really sucks is when you use the console commands to specify to only download for a specific OS then ALL games are shown so you don't know which games are for which OS except for when you try to install and it errors out.

I've used these in the macOS steam client for years, so will likely have to do the same for Linux:
Go to the Console tab and type the following commands (and press Enter at the end of each):
a. @sSteamCmdForcePlatformType macos (where type is windows, macos, or linux)
b. @sSteamCmdForcePlatformBitness 64 (where bitness is 32 or 64)

So if you were in a situation where you have 600+ steam games that have never been installed and you specify Linux only via the console then you'd still have to right-click install on each one to have it error out so you'd know it's not a Linux game. Since I already have the Linux versions of the games downloaded I'll just have to track when I downloaded a game on the Windows client and remember to do the same on the Linux client otherwise there would be alot of right-click -> install going on.....

I doubt very many people backup their games as well as crack them so likely no one cares but you'll have to do the above if you do.

The above is yet more proof (not that it's needed) that Linux native games are a joke and will forever continue to be so. Long live Windows games.

//Looks like the above console commands don't work for Linux, it still downloads Windows games. I'm not going to manually attempt to look up what games are Linux native so looks like no more downloading and backing up Linux games for me for steam. Good riddance.

Another World: 20th Anniversary Edition (GOG)

Nice! This is a great re-release. I remember renting the original game ("Out of this World" as it was called here in the US) multiple times for either the SNES or Genesis back in the day and only ever getting to the first elevator in the first level of the prison. Using an emulator helped to get farther but it was still extremely tough even with a ton of repetition and save-state reloading.

The 20th Anniversary Edition offers a really tasteful improvement in visuals (exact same style, just not so blocky), has updated music and sound and has some nice quality of life improvements... at least in the easier mode that was added in this version. That is what I played when I went through it around 10 years ago.

It's worth mentioning that the GoG version also has a TON of bonus downloads... namely, the whole 15th Anniversary Edition, which is more like the original visually (but still higher resolution) and I think has the original music and sound, while having more checkpoints than the original to make it less difficult. So, a great half way point if you're a bit more of a purist.

They also provide the disk image for the Amiga version, which is really awesome if you are in to that, a making-of documentary, the sound track in FLAC... It's an awesome package. Amazing that such a pack is given away for free. I have bought a fair amount of stuff on GoG, but I'm loving the Prime Gaming + GoG freebies deal. A really nice Prime perk IMO. 😀

Now for some blitting from the back buffer.
