But that would require me to use the Epic game store.

You can use a third party launcher like Heroic to avoid having to install that bloated crapfest of an app.

You can't just make a simple list on any site that uses markdown. It removes line breaks. Why? So some nerd can post an 80 character formatted email from a listserve and have it look normal in markdown. It's archaic and stupid.

At any rate, this "feature" makes your list look like a giant paragraph:

Castlevania Castlevania II Simon's Quest Castlevania III Dracula's Curse Super Castlevania IV Castlevania The Adventure Castlevania II Belmont's Revenge Castlevania Bloodlines Kid Dracula

You have to end each line with two spaces to force markdown to preserve the line breaks. Or you have to start each line with an asterisk and a space to make a bulleted list.

I'm going to fix it for you so other people can read it more easily, and also fix some of your typos:

Castlevania Castlevania
Ill Simon
Quest Castlevania
Ill Dracula
Curse Super
Castlevania is Castlevania
The Adventure
Castlevania II: Belmont Revenge's Castlevania Bloodlines Kid
Dracula

I thought people on Lemmy supported free software.

Ooooh boy, that's a nice one, almost got me!

If you are on Linux, you can use heroic game launcher. I have way more than 100 free games from them, and some are really good games.

Which ones are actually worth playing? I recall early castlevania games being hit or miss

[–] [email protected] 10 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Castlevania and Castlevania III for the NES side.

Super Castlevania IV

The two Game Boy Castlevanias.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot 1 points 5 hours ago

There were three Game Boy Castlevanias.

Simon's Quest is a C- game with an A+ soundtrack

I’d like a counter of how many people have quit after not knowing where to go when you had to kneel in that one specific place for that specific amount of time to have a tornado come and take you whatever place it was.

[–] SzethFriendOfNimi 5 points 10 hours ago

There was something in the manual if I remember correctly. Which you wouldn’t necessarily have if you rented the game.

They also include the Japanese versions too.

You have to share your email address with Konami for marketing purposes but they do disclose this in an obvious way.

You don't have to click that button though. I got the free bundle without clicking it anyway.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 hours ago

Same for all free games they give, it's up to the user to give the publisher their email

[–] QuarterSwede 2 points 11 hours ago

Now you tell me! Lol.
