I played through Slave Zero the other week.  A lot of people said it was a cult classic but it was buggy and tedious, especially the second half of the game.  Pass on it.

Since it's clear that it probably does deserve its own thread, Songs of Syx now has an official place to gabble on about the ins and outs of the funny little thing.

Last year someone mentionned the existence of a real time game in development very inspired by Cataclysm and CDDA :

And it looks like development never ceased as there have been a Kickstarter for it launched last week that reached its founding goal with still 23 days to go for the stretch goals :

I feel some hype for this, but I doubt it'll be 32bit, so I probably won't get to play it for a bit.

It has the elusive NPC companion in a real-time zombie game. 
Well, basic competency is still not tried.

Dang. I'm surprised you've managed to keep a 32-bit computer running for this long. Hasn't it been off the market for ~15 years?

[Frumple]

Dunno, but pretty sure I've got one, too. Old laptop, thing's still running vista.

... mind you, despite mostly still working (the s key is dead, heh, and the battery's been utterly unable to hold a charge for years) I'm currently just using it as a mousepad, so, uh.

Turns out laptops make surprisingly good mousepads for use on a bed. Flat surface with enough weight to hold steady, it's good stuff.

Windows 10 has a 32 bit version that seems to have just within the last few days been discontinued or is going to be, but mine is Windows 7.

I was thinking hardware. I know that 64-bit at least became the default that long ago, but I cared more about speed than longevity at that point.

It's still working fine it says the battery's going but I haven't noticed any problems with it, the main thing is I wish it had more than 2gigs or ram.

Going through hardware from my long lost youth era, i found out that last year the Batman Group ported the old Amiga 500 famous game Pinball Dreams on Amstrad CPC. Playable on both real hardware and emulator.

Really impressive to see that on that old 8bit system with a playable ball physics (certainly it's nowhere as realistic physics as in the impressive Visual Pinball program, but for 8 bits it's good enough).
Note : they recommend to play it on the Retro Virtual Machine emulator (that emulate both amstrad and zx spectrum systems) but it worked flawlessly on the lighter CPCEC emulator that i use (that also emulate both systems).

It's a free team-pvp game with MOBA mechanics, developed by Amazon.

Haven't played yet, but it's free and looks pretty so I'll probably give it a shot.

Well that escalated quickly.

Noticed some people talking about ADoM Ultimate as apparently an early alpha can be found on their discord (i'm not interested enough to look for a link, sorry) .
But there's a video so you can see how it is in comparison to regular ADoM :
