They've been going through a rich seam of SCUMM titles, I wonder how much more they have lined up on that front.

Been interested in Scourge Bringer and Recompile. StarCraft Remastered is nice too.

I have to look into the others, but I'd say it's a nice month.

Never played StarCraft. Was a C&C guy growing up. Finally a chance for me to check it out.

Show of hands: how many people actually have the Amazon Games launcher (previously Twitch launcher) actually installed for the non-Origin/Ubi Connect/Battle.net games?

Oh wow, I was actually considering buying SC Remastered recently. How does this work exactly? I assume I can link to my Bnet account?

SC Remastered and Zak McKracken are excellent games. I wonder if SC will be a Battle.net key or an actual game in the Amazon launcher?
I love love love Zak McKracken. Even though it isn't quite as polished (or fair) as the other adventures since you can dead end your play through with certain choices. One of those dead ends is actually one of my favorite details in the game trying to return to Earth from Mars is so clearly the wrong choice, and takes a good amount of effort to happen... the pay off of realizing that it'll take weeks is worth it being in the game imho.

So yeah. Definitely check it out people.

I actually just posted in another thread about this, but I highly recommend Recompile. It's not perfect, but the highs drastically outweigh the lows.

Yep! So fucking good, I wish I could erase the game out of my mind so I could start fresh with it!

Do you need to be subscribed to Prime for this? and if so, if you cancel prime you lose access?

I'll give it another shot when it hits prime but I thought the level design was just so unpleasant and hard to parse. Which bummed me out because in terms of audiovisual presentation the game is incredible.

Has it been updated at all since it launched?
