Cheers to my homies Do You Want To Play A Game?

I've been gaming since Atari 2600 ® was out I am an old-schooler and retrogamer. I play quality wares finding fine bits to ply popular or not No ...Most of my games are not native to Steam. Since I first wrote that though many more have been added, remade and are being remastered all the time! Go devs, go Valve!! I have 10's of thousands of hours invested in vidya, at least!

News:

Cygnus Entertainment - Ken and Roberta Williams themselves with a new team have released Colossal Cave remake, now in VR!! It's neat and has a new affordable price. Get it here:

Master of Magic has been REMASTERED! It's very good!
