psa: you can get unreal tournament (1999) from here: oldunreal.com/downloads/unreal (note that this is a windows installer, you can use game-data-packager from debian to generate linux install packages)

it downloads the original install files from archive.org (see: salsa.debian.org/games-team/ga )

there's also updated patches available here: github.com/OldUnreal/UnrealTou (updated patches for windows, linux, and macos)

On Sept 13, 1985, #SuperMarioBros hit the #NES in 🇯🇵 #Japan and changed #gaming forever. It pulled the industry out of the crash, introduced millions to #Mario & #Luigi, and set the standard for platformers. Mario & Luigi’s quest through eight worlds set the template for platformers, introduced warp zones, iconic power-ups, and some of gaming’s most recognizable music. Nearly 40 years later, it remains a timeless classic, reissued on countless systems and still inspiring new players. Few games carry this kind of legacy.

Just saw via @massivelyop that #DualUniverse, a #Kickstarter #MMO I had never heard of, released a way for players to host private servers ahead of its shutdown.

The shutdown is sad, but the support of private servers is a very pro-consumer move that's also great for #GamePreservation. I'd love to see more games do that.
