Big nostalgia drop right here.
Might however want to pick up the GOG widescreen fix.

It's a bit unstable, crashing above 1360x768 but you probably don't want ultra-HD anyway as the UI would be too small.

Excellent port of the 1994 classic, even runs flawlessly on my 2013 laptop with an AMD A10-5645M APU on Windows 11.

It's like a virtual ant farm, in space!

Two words: Dragonbone crossbow

(and all sorts of other additions)

It's a decent racing game, not quite as good as Transformed.
While the game has been mostly abandoned, they have appeared to improve online stability somewhat.

My CPU is an i7-7700k and my GPU is a NVIDIA GeForce GTX1080, and I can play 60fps at 2160p.

While this game does have Denuvo, as long as Vsync is properly set and your monitor is 60Hz stutter is nearly non-existent.

Game is best for single-player; go with Transformed for a better online experience instead.

Unfortunately, not only because of the developer's past but the advertising within the software, I cannot recommend this utility for purchase.

Borderless Gaming is pretty much a hack, and the developer is not very forthcoming about it. The amount of code the app has does not justify the price asked for it.

Digging through the small amount of code, I had found that it contains code copied verbatim from a Microsoft sample (licensed MS-LPL which is NOT GPL compatible), complete with comments, with zero attribution.

Worse yet, the author has attempted various licensing tricks and removing the free version from his GitHub. Then, as of recently, he is using it to advertise something called Rainway.

There are alternative utilities, both free (https://westechsolutions.net/sites/WindowedBorderlessGaming/) and paid (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1022230/Magic_Borderless/).

And even a free app in development - https://discourse.differentk.fyi/ - which performs even lower level tuning of various games' graphics in addition to turning games Borderless. (edit: app was retired from Steam and moved offsite)

Developer response says he documents the styling, etc. yet the code is hardly annotated, not even copyright headings in the source files. Keep in mind the author was also subjected to a newsworthy lawsuit from the RIAA. In addition, utilities to utilize borderless window mode have existed and been documented (including things as simple as AHK scripts) before this app was even marketed.

On the plus side, Windows 11 now mitigates the latency this app used to add, by supporting "flip mode" presentation and injecting it into previously unsupported apps.

Disclosure: I've checked received for free, although I was technically supposed to "pay" for the key I received by voting for "Steam Cleaner" back in the Greenlight days - I visited a "giveaway" script on the developer's website and skipped the part where it said to vote yes or no on Greenlight - he was bribing for votes.

Game is a definite must-buy for those who like retro NES games.
The game features a VRC6 soundtrack by Jake Kaufman aka virt, and challenging gameplay that is a lot like a combination of Mega Man and Zelda II.

Like a cross between Sonic and Kirby!
If you like fast-paced retro games this is a definite buy!
Great soundtrack, multiple power-ups, and challenging bosses.
When you beat the main campaign you get to play as Fark for an additional challenge.

If you like the old Sonic games then buy this! However, if you don't like the old Genesis Sonic games don't buy this because it is the same type of game.

Speed through Green Hill Zone, drown in Chemical Plant Zone, then be the star in Studiopolis! Both classic and new levels await!
Chase after the UFO in 7 special stages to collect the Chaos Emeralds and become Super Sonic! Beware, these levels are tough and I haven't even beaten them all yet (edit: I finally did beat them).
Challenge yourself to Blue Sphere (from Sonic 3 & Knuckles) with 32 levels to unlock new game modes.

The game plays exactly like the Genesis games but you get a new power: the Drop Dash. When in mid-jump, hold the jump button to dash forward when you land.

This game did as the critics mention have Denuvo Anti-Tamper (up until version 1.06).
However some things to note:
If you use Steam online all the time you won't notice it (the recent crash may have been fixed)
System requirements are very low, I underclocked my system to 800MHz single core and it still worked.

The Anti-Tamper does not interfere with Wine, runs perfect with PlayOnLinux and Wine-staging 2.12.

Please use the upvote/downvote for if it is helpful, and do not abuse the feature. If you downvote please explain why.

Just skip this version and get GTA V unless you like stutter; this was Rockstar's first attempt at the RAGE engine and was poorly optimized. (by the way why would a AAA game need .NET Framework?)
Of course if you are still running XP it is a step up from San Andreas.
If you can run the game smoothly please share your system specifications below.
