Thanks. Great recommendation.
Another extremely useful one to me is https://www.doesitplay.org/
I’m not OK with games requiring a download. And developers don’t always do a good job of making it clear when they do. Or a handful of games might be nearly unplayable in the version that ships on disc/cart. This website makes a point of testing games unpatched and offline.
It’s not a big deal for everyone, but the site is a crucial resource if you care.
I came across this recently and it’s a very useful tool. This year I started to take notice again and find myself more and more going with GOG, offline games and physical discs.
I’m a big fan of https://shmuplations.com/
They translate or host a bunch of first-hand interviews with developers of classic Japanese games. (Not restricted to shmups, despite the name.)
This is a real gem! Thank you
Open licenced games and media.
I’ve played through most of the ones older than 7 years old.
Here are some solid start points:
Neverball, Kobo Deluxe, Project: Starfighter, Frozen Bubble, Hex-a-hop, SGT Puzzles, Numpty Physics, Fish Fillets NG, Enigma, Passage, Shattered Pixel Dungeon, X-Moto, Blobby Volley 2, Stormbaan Coureur, GCompris
All I need are Steam, GOG, Isthereanydeal, Howlongtobeat and SteamDB. There are some YouTube channels I follow, but as they mostly talk about consoles nowadays, I don’t really rely on them for the final choice.
