I’m not sure if they remove copy protection of the games, if you don’t have an optical drive anymore you need a different solution. Haven’t tried with my current PC, but on my old one they worked all fine.Īlso, installing the unofficial patches for Age1 and Age2 make things a lot smoother: What I'm hoping for the most out of this thread is to list the really obscure stuff and get them running on Steam Deck (as well as support for the games that need a bit of work to get going: I couldn't get Barkley Shut up and Jam Gaiden or Lisa the First working, for example).It depends a lot on the hardware to have, most issues I encountered are driver related.

This is just the tip of the iceberg, especially when we start listing BoR engine games (like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Rescue Palooza) or RPG Maker games. Then you have 'legally distinct' original games, such as this excellent love letter to Castlevania, Silver Night's Crusaders:īut you even have officially-produced games that were used for promotional purposes but are no longer publicly available, such as Shin Megami Tensei - Synchronicity Prologue: Good thing Sega is mostly cool with this stuff. There is also the straight-up remake of Sonic Triple Trouble, which could easily have passed for a retail game. You've got familiar recommendations like Sonic Robo Blast 2, possibly the gold standard of a fully-featured original game based on an existing IP: You should be able to easily find them through Google.ĭo Not List Mods of existing games, these are for games made from the ground up only. While the games themselves are free, it's probably best not to provide download links just to be safe. There is a literal treasure trove of excellent fan-made games out there, and with the Steam Deck proving to be a versatile machine that can run nearly all of them (with the added convenience of button mapping for the games that don't support native controller inputs), it's about time we made a thread to try and catalog them all.
