The GOG library has been building since 2008, when Vista was the current windows version.

Some titles that worked at some point over the last 16 years may have some developed issues on modern hardware, drivers, or operating systems.

This program is at least confirming it works on windows 10/11 and common 2024 hardware

They have a list of titles in the program here:

Change logs are on each title’s page.

This has a few comparisons: https://youtu.be/K7EmuHBslhk

Physical or digital? If digital what platforms are available?

My fist general purpose console was the Sega Master System. It had a flowchart displayed on the top telling you how to use it.

It might not have been pretty in the traditional sense but I loved it.

Looking back on it the chart was somewhat misleading, the console had two built in games that were only accessible if you didn’t insert a cartridge or card (Hang On, and Safari Hunt), and a third that also needed a controller connected and a few buttons held down when you turned the system on (snail maze).

I this is the most effective search I could find:

Not great for a product that is not Mozilla’s Firefox Send!

Apparently, you can install Windows inside DOSBox, but is that really stable and usable for layman? Are there any other approaches?

I think thats where PCem or 86box becomes more helpful.

I bought this skittles set for the kids to have a competition at a kids birthday party. The pins and ball are reasonable quality but the staples holding the box together fell apart the second we tried to pack it away.

Are you looking to run on actual hardware?

If not then you might want to also consider fantasy consoles.

It would be fine if they just had a single election like everywhere else but they have their primaries too and seem to start campaigning around half way through the term. So there is some degree of campaigning going on around half the time.

Is the Retro City Rampage / Shakedown: Hawaii guy working on anything?

For offline software I wouldn’t consider it a problem, but for something that connects to the internet I would want it to have the latest versions of its dependencies.

It looks like the dev has been updating their funding details recently, hopefully they have an update planned.

Does Edward VIII count?

He surrendered the Crown … but was then made a Duke.

Edit: woops, it looks like i replied in the wrong spot

The water is just sitting there, not eroding through salts.

Is the ocean still or famously active?

But all jokes aside freshwater is salt free because it has been distilled by the evaporation/cloud/rainfall part of the water cycle. When rain falls in the ocean it mixes pretty quickly.

When I give a digital game as present I go to the shop to print out the cover art on photo paper and then put it in a card. It gives them something they can immediately look at, handle, and discuss.

Here are a few I’ve used recently, they are more literal than the cartridge era but they are still artworks in their own right:

10s of MB software with the rest of the disc as CD audio was standard for the time.

Even with those constraints PS had noticeable mid-battle lag as it loaded in animationss.

sign near a sick/old person name

With postal voting and mobile polling places the sick and elderly are given opportunities to vote in Australia.

Even without those facilities it would take a fair bit of effort to identify and sign for a statistically significant number of sick/elderly.

There is some lemmy.world sure but also:

• lemmy.ml
• sh.itjust.works
• programming.dev
• lemmy.dbzer0.com
• programming.dev
• lemm.ee
• lemmy.kde.social

If a topic suits the philosophy of its lemmy instance its more likely to attract a healthy population. Then when I’m looking for a community on a topic it doesn’t really matter which instance that community is on.
