      I got a Minesweeper app for my phone a few months ago with no ads. It’s amazing.

        In general, get stuff like that from F-Droid. Ads and other enshittification basically isn’t allowed.

    Whenever people mention Space Cadet pinball, I HAVE to recommend the reverse engineered open source version on github (source ports for almost every type of platform).
    It’s also available on flathub.

        I assume you ask where in the Git mention the Flathub link since Flathub deems it unverified? It’s on On Linux section of the ReadMe

      “Reverse engineered open source” isn’t a thing. You can decompile a program and look at the source code all you want, but that’s not the same as having the legal right to modify and redistribute it. Open Source specifically means the latter.

      What you’ve linked to there is just some pirated proprietary-licensed source code that, frankly, I’m a little surprised Microsoft hasn’t taken down yet.

      (Also, I don’t like the term “open source” for exactly the reason that it leads to this sort of confusion. According to both the OSI and FSF it means the same thing as “Free Software,” so folks should use the term Free Software instead since it emphasizes the four freedoms.)


      If you want a pinball game that’s actually Free Software, check out Vector Pinball. I recommend installing it via F-Droid.

        I unfortunately don’t know of any other games on top of my head. I know Lego Island is close to 100% reverse engineered, but I’m not certain it’ll get released as an open source game like Space Cadet.

    I played the hell put of Freecell back in the day. Started going through the seeds in order, and over the course of about 2 years I made it through 1500 or so.

    I should pick that up again. Only got about 30000 or so games left to finish the whole thing…

    I mean we did have internet, but it was billed by the amount of data you used, and being online meant that people couldn’t use the phone at the same time.

    I had totally forgotten that.

    'Member when you bought a magazine and got a FREE floppy or CD with a bunch of (shareware/demo) games? I played the same 2 demo maps of Age of Empires to death - the game had 3, but the 3rd one was too hard for youngster me.

      First Mount&Blade for me. It was hard capped so you straight up can not play after some level (?). I wonder how many times I rolled a stone on top of that mountain, only to gleefuly repeat the process after it felt back.

    I grew up with a a Windows 3.1 machine, so for me my game selection was Chip’s Challenge, Miser Mind (MasterMind), WinTris (Tetris), Atmoids (Asteroids), and JezzBall. Oh and SkiFree of course but somehow I never played it.

    Chip’s Challenge was my favorite. To this day I still haven’t beaten every level.

    Loved old school paint. I used to try and recreate 3d renders of Nintendo characters that I’d seen printed in magazines and on my Gameboy pocket pouch by doing a kind of primitive dithering technique that 10 year old me thought up drawing 1 pixel blocks of specific colours in alternating patterns to try recreate shading or gradients of colour and I’d draw whole rows of them with the line tool which naturally had a staircase effect to it. Used to save it all on a zipdisk.
