Well, here we go! Original Half-Life got updated for its 25th anniversary.

Opening line or Jumanji: "Don't worry. It's just a pack of wolves."
MOTHERFUCKER, WHAT?!?!

Not sure what happened there. And I don't even know if we're ever going to find out. Let's hope that means they are updating the game for whatever reason.

@trojkat It's alright, they took it down anyway. 🤷♂️

@keen456 I've read a couple of Doom books. But I think I've seen excerpts from almost all novels based on PC games.

@kawa This is gonna lead to a revelation that millions of people didn't actually own Half-Life on Steam for some reason.

@kawa Huh. Wtf.

Original Half-Life is free on Steam through it's 25th release date anniversary (19th of November)

@nico This intergrates Linux while DOS is still running. Loadlin is a proper Linux bootloader, and once you're in Linux, DOS is no longer useable.

I do love that ZOOM Platform's (the only digital distribution that managed to hold on to the rights to sell old Duke Nukem games after Gearbox's lawsuit) release of Duke Nukem 3D comes with an optional pack that includes not only all commercial expansions, but also the official PORN LEVEL from 1997!

@cipper @0xabad1dea Well, this is your own fault, really:

I've stumbled upon this video about Xenon 2: Megablast, and I haven't laughed so much while watching a retrogaming video in a long time: 🤣🤣🤣

If you're singing Axel F, and she chimes in with "DING DING," she's too young for you, bro.

A re-release of Star Fleet II: Krellan Commander has dropped on both GOG and Steam, and quite surprisingly includes an updated version of the game:

@mcc It's the loader tune from Bangkok Knights

@mcc What's really cool about all these is that Atari ST's CPU was fast enough to get SID-like music out of a simple AY.

@shysaursoft Dungeon Keeper is actually chock full of stuff like this. Fool moon messages. Developer messages. All kinds of hidden stuff.

@ianmclean Being able to load DeHackEd patches at runtime is probably its least impressive feature though. It is completely bonkers.

@a2_4am It's an option.

@Viss Do you appreciate all the Half-Life and Duke 3D LEVELS is also an appropriate question.
