Hm. Maybe I'll do it, then. Don't know if I got the patience to admin a community but I am an emulation enthusiast.

Welcome! Emulation is probably my favorite method of gaming nowadays, giving me access to most of the classics of gaming from over 20 years of history all at once. If you have a decent computer you get get everything up to the PS3 generation easily, and a less powerful one or a phone can go up to the PS2 or PS1 gens, still giving you plenty of gaming options. I have found so many games and genres I would normally not get into, by trying them out via emulation. Arcade games, especially. I love arcade shmups of the 90's and early 2000s.

there is an emulation community on lemmy.ml and another at lemmy.world but I would understand if you don't want to interact with those. I am kinda surprised dbzer0 doesn't have one.

It's all of those factors, combined. It's like a granny turtle trying to catch a trend that went past it 5 years ago. And the entire game being horribly, terribly visually unappealing with the worst character designs ever, does not help at all.

We all need to be our own archivists in this day and age. The internet isn't forever, it's a constantly burning Library of Alexandria. I'm glad you found your lost media again.

Oohh, I heard about that. I've just kept playing the community maintained UT'99 and a little bit of 2k4.

Swear to Jah, all we need is a proper modern, moddable Unreal Tournament.

It should run, the Unity port before this worked, right? I'll try installing the GoG version on Linux tomorrow, but I already played it on my Switch too and it ran great. Just like the Quake rereleases
