Can you guys recommend some good PC games to get lost in over the holidays? I'm looking for simple games that won't kill my CPU. Prefer old school stuff.
>>321280806
Last game I really got lost in and wanted to finish. I was really surprised how much I liked it.
My only complaint is that the game could stand on its own two feet and doesn't need all the unneeded references to old school games.
Still awesome game though.
popful mail is addictive and funny
>>321280806
Minesweeper. Try hit under 60 seconds in expert mode.
You have emulators, you have steam with tags, you didn't even list your preferences.
>>321280806
check out DOS games
>>321280806
thatspc
>>321280806
Cave Story. The best indie game imo.
Terraria

>implying
I'm not really a "gamer". First time posting here.
Also, would rather not have to use an emulator.
>>321282040
wolfenstein 3d... that brings me back.
OP here. Yes I'm old.
>>321281972
I think the best I ever got in expert mode was around 5 min.
>>321282127
Downloaded this.
>>321282230
Might check this one out too.
Thanks for the recs everyone
>>321284435
You might want to try VVVVVV too.
>>321284435
Xenonauts
Secrets of Grindea (lacks content but its pretty solid)
Undertale
Diablo 2/LOD
Terraria is really good with a friend
Ys games
>>321284634
Also old adventure games like monkey island, day of the tentacle or grim fandango.
>>321280806
Prison Architect
it's new but simple and 2D, and you can lose a week to it before you know it
>>321280806
that winnie the pooh baseball
>>321280806
Why did you have to remind me? ;_;
Factorio. Beware: you will lose the next couple of days to this game if you start playing it.
>>321285603
Holy fuck someone else other than me played anodyne? Shit was amazing
Rogue Legacy got me for a while
>>321280806
Shantae and the Pirates Curse
It's on steam sale for like 10 bucks.
Fun metroidvania
Eeeeeh, where's La-Mulana?YOU'LL GET LOST ALRIGHT, YOU LITTLE KEK, YOU OP YOU FFFFFFFFFFUCK.
>>321285917
This isn't bad, though I get lost as fuck. Reminds me of the first zelda in that you gotta write shit down on a notepad.
Also suggesting another metroidvania, Ori and the Blind Forest is pretty damn atmospheric and fun.
Broforce
I'm so hyped for this release. It's a harvest moon clone, but it's looking way better. Comfy as fuck.
>>321286871
>>321286476
It looks way better, but I still prefer Discworld 1.
>>321280806
You could check Beneath a Steel Sky or FTL.
Or emulate SNES/GBA for dozens of great 2D games, especially if you like JRPGs.
>>321287135
I actually played Beneath a Steel Sky years ago. I used to use emulators years ago too but they were so buggy.
I'm gonna save this thread before it dies... option overload right now.
>>321280806
Try Fez;Earthbound;Undertale;Spelunky;TheBindingOfIsaac;FTL;AgeOfEmpires;Settlers
That's what comes to my mind
>>321286871
Sorry but what game?
>>321286871
>>321286934
>>321287580
Stardew Valley or somerthing like that I think
>>321284894
>it's new
Been in development for about 2000 years though.
>>321287534
>recommending Undermeme unironically
kill yourself
>>321280806
If you liked link to the past, Terranigma is what I enjoyed almost equally, it's a bit more action packed. Check out 16 bit gems on youtube, the guy made a whole series about snes titles.
>>321284801
I got grim fandago remastered from steam not long ago, haven't played it a lot yet, but looks really promising.
Space Station 13
Valdis Abyssal City
>>321287760
Yeah, that. I forgot.
>>321280806
Why does zelda get so much praise? Its not even in the top 10 action games for snes. And snes is hardly known for its action games
>>321280806
Not 2D but very fucking addictive : Grim dawn.
>>321288757
>Indiana Jones and The Fat
Why did I laugh?
>>321285313
Panda Clan 4 lyfe.
>>321285603
Anodyne was made by a virgin. He used to make some dev threads
Daggerfall my man
It's also free

>>321288109
>shitposting unironically
>>321288907
I thought you meant a literal virgin at first and wondered how you knew about his sex life.
>>321288757
>bullshit sunstone puzzles
fuck this game
>>321288162
I got link to the past shortly after it came out when I was a kid and have probably beaten it around 50 times in my life. I've never really been a huge gamer but man I've always loved that game. Will check out Terranigma. Thanks.

86856527
no, these are not just numbers. its a freeware hacking game.. plays on a grid. you move around, hack, destroy (enemies?) with abilities you unlock in the level by getting money.
its a puzzle game with multiple ways to win.
i actually haven't played it but it looked cool and i downloaded it.

This, legit great game
Also the first game in years that had me playing for longer than 2 hours without a break
Give it an honest shot OP, it sucked me in after 15 minutes
This pollack guy and his team made 2 rather addictive 2D games
>Soldat (pic)
https://youtu.be/TEzAC6jK858
Old game from the early 2000s, a 2D version of counterstrike. Think Worms but in real-time. You run with WASD and aim with your mouse. Plenty of weapons to try out, including chainsaws and throwing knives. Because of the 2D nature, it's VERY fast paced
>King Arthur's Gold
https://youtu.be/d6Eom7IGLRw
Newer game. It's like Worms + Terraria. It's mainly a CTF game where you and your team have to work together to BUILD a fortress while trying to infiltrate the opposing team and work past their defenses.
>>321280806
Voidspire Tactics
just emulate some snes games you queer.
