The classic. A decompile and reverse-engineer of a lot of people's first PC game. Builds on Windows, Linux, and Mac, and ports to Android, Switch, PS Vita, LG webOS TV, and many more weird and wonderful platforms.

I've been playing this on my Steam Deck (you can install it from the Discover store). Despite my years of experience I'm still terrible at it. I think I once got to level 3.

Nice! That one's pretty nostalgic for me.

Where do you get the game resources?

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

You will have to legally acquire a copy of the game, I presume.

Hey, on an unrelated note, have you heard of archive.org? People utilize the site to archive lots of useful information, media, and software, both new and old.

Any old copy of Windows, I guess. I know the versions on Android and Linux (from the Flatpack Discover store) come with resources already.

What's your strategy? How do you avoid the seemingly unavoidable deaths down the sides or the middle?
