With a name like "Granzella," you know it's good: "R-Type Final 2" actually runs on linux (but we tell you why you should wait to buy it). We also take a moment to remember Ian Murdock, the creator of Debian, the distro on which so much of our computing experiences are based. We also talk some "Dead Or Alive 6," and tell you how to get Retroarch through STEAM for FREE! All this, plus 2 excellent Star Wars themed deals! May the 4th be with you! www.bestlinuxgames.com BUY A CUSTOM LUNCHSTICK FIGHT STICK (essential post apocolyptic survival equipment): https://www.etsy.com/shop/LunchSticks?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=899071632 -------- -BE SURE TO CHECK OUT our twitch livestream at: www.twitch.tv/skookiesprite -JOIN OUR DISCORD EXPERIMENT at: https://discord.gg/M3C7AvKrj3 --POST YOUR GAME REPORTS TO PROTONDB.COM!!!! --------------------------------------------------------------- ---Games Mentioned In This Week's Episode:--- RetroArch (FREE; click the button to be added to playtest) https://store.steampowered.com/app/1118310/RetroArch/ Star Wars X Wing Series Bundle (-74%, $7.86, through May 6th) https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/6450/STAR_WARS_XWing_Series/ Star Wars Battlefront II (-70% $11.99, through May 6th) https://store.steampowered.com/app/1237950/STAR_WARS_Battlefront_II/ R-Type Final 2 ($39.99) https://store.steampowered.com/app/1442820/RType_Final_2/
