The important thing is that they are not "addictive" or have (a lot of) ads. I can recommend GCompris, SuperTuxKart and TowerJumper.

Oooh didn't know this. I wanna play all over again. I was only familiar with the retroarch one.

Yeah I have lost count of how many times I played it. But yeah I always end up giving up fighting the doctor.

the closest i got to beating the game was when i was messing around on flashpoint and found the flash port of the freeware game

i got to the core fight at the time lol

Oh yeah. I've been meaning to dig into flashpoint. I tried old kewlbox games in it. Core fight is easy with machine gun but I would say not as hard as later fights. The aftermath of the core fight is sad af.

only had polar star, i let curly keep the machine gun

would be cool if i mod the game for some reason but idk what i'd add lmao

That's fine too albeit harder. I have never seen mods but yeah it would be nice. To my knowledge there is only a save editor which can edit the stats and items.

like you need assembly hacking to do shit like this. really cool

also the foss engines like nxengine and doukutsu-rs are modder friendly due to them being open source ofc

Holy shit that looks awesome
