Mars Attracts Review
Not a fan of micromanaging cities, skylines, water parks and theme parks? The hustle and bussle of common rabble just not nearly entertaining enough to keep you invested? Well, fear not. The folks over at Outlier Games have had a little something brewing in the Workshop, and it just hit Early Access. If you've ever wondered what Martians do for entertainment, you're about to get a front row seat. Mars Attracts is a park management sim that is set in the absolutely iconic universe of Mars Attacks, and you are really in for a treat. The same can't be said, however,
Shopkeeper Simulator Review
Shopkeeper Simulator, developed by Games Incubator and published in collaboration with PlayWay S.A., is a supermarket management sim that invites players to build their retail empire from scratch, released on July 22, 2025. Every simulator fan knows PlayWay S.A, but does that mean the game has to be good? Let's see....You arrived in the big city with only a crate of apples, your laptop and $40 in your pocket, that's basically all, there is no real big story to this game, it's a really simple game when you run your own small shop, taking care of everything from stocking shelves and setting
Saloon Simulator Review
The totally new Saloon Simulator was released on 15 July 2025, and I think it's a fresh concept, because I’ve never played a Western simulator before, so here we are, why not give it a try? I didn't read much about the game before I started it so I only expected some kind of saloon renovation and serving alcohol, but I was wrong because the game has way more than I imagined, not only can you personalize your saloon and serve drinks, but you can also cook, clean, play mini games and dive into a western story!Before we get into more details I want
Hardware Store Simulator Review
If you are interested in running your own hardware shop and having some fun, either with friends or solo, you might enjoy Hardware Store Simulator, you can sell tools, help customers, and build your own store. This new game was released in Early Access on April 18, 2025 and developed by Stellar Fusion Studios and published by PlayWay S.A. Fans of simulator games might already know the publisher from titles like House Flipper, Crime Scene Simulator, or the new and popular Wrap House Simulator, but does that mean this game is actually good? Let’s talk about it.At first, I didn’t expect
House Builder Review
In House Builder, developed by FreeMind S.A., you take on the role of a one-man construction crew. Your goal is to travel around the world and build houses in many unique styles and from many different eras. The main strength of this game is in variety. You can build everything from mud huts in Africa to bamboo houses in a rainforest, construct a medieval castle, renovate a farm in America, or build an ecological house in Europe, that is powered by solar panels. Often your task is not only to build houses but also to procure building materials with a wide

I started the original one a while ago and only a bit but never had a chance to finish. Shame, remastered is Epic exclusive on PC. Thanks for the review and reminding me my backlog :)

What a classic!
The fact I discovered in the public library of my city and rented the game when I was little. Because I didn't had internet and the rental was a couple days, I made an ISO file with Nero Burner to play the game when I pleased.
I was also lucky that I bought games in computer magazines(ComputerHoyJuegos) and Quiosks. Like having: Commandos 2, PcFútbol2001, Grouch(Rocko's Quest), S.W.A.T 3/4, Patrician III, Imperium III(Viriathus campaign being hard AF), Ground Control, NYR - New York Race, Age of Empires I & II + expansions + Mythology(+Titans), etc...
I was the lucky few that managed to buy this game before being delisted on Steam for a few €uros.
BTW if you are looking for "dead games" or want to contribute on a wiki useful for the consumers of the future, the Stop Killing Games community made a wiki with all the games that are being delisted, unplayable or in risk on dying soon:

It was still in the back of my mind, too, right up until I spied this upcoming article (I am SO behind in so much I've been wanting to write ).
But I don't think I could have done a better job - I'd already had my amazing experience with Prey well over a decade before and, though I probably could have done it some amount of justice then, I think I'd be too far distanced from it now.
I guess it worked out for the best though, since now we have this tribute - and more to look forward to!
I'm definitely glad you've listed some options for people who want to play.
I have a few other games I still think about and wish I could replay (from that awkward era of Windows 95).
I keep thinking I should just put together a dedicated machine with either Windows 95 or 98 so I can immerse myself in nostalgia, but I keep getting distracted with other things.

I did wonder if you'd avoid mentioning that part, but to be honest, that's not even the main twist, and I think a story in which Tommy actually manages to defeat the aliens and save everyone just sounds generic and would put people off, so I feel you struck a good balance with what you shared and what you left for people to experience themselves.

I NEARLY added Deadpool as my 10th suggestion, but then my sick mind thought of Ride to Hell, and I couldn't stop myself!
That and it's kind of a mainstream delisted game that has come back multiple times - still worthy of an article one day though I feel.July 06, 2026 -

I couldn't pick a better home to have it, so thank YOU for the opportunity. I absolutely couldn't think of a better title to kick it off with, and it was an absolute blast the whole way through.
There was just SO much to cover here, and while I know some might say that mentioning Enisis death was a spoiler, I felt it was enough of a "lead up to a core mechanic" that I felt ok mentioning it. But by the time I got to the end of the game, I felt I needed to really just set the stage and keep the rest under wraps, because I absolutely had no clue what to expect. I wanted to be sure that anyone else who finds a way to play this (Thanks for mentioning some additional ways!) would have the same first-time experience. Because honestly, and I think you might agree: you only get it once. And I can't say I've ever had a game absolutely put me out to dry like this one did, in SO many ways. I didn't want to ruin it for ANYONE.
Thank you for giving us a place to make ideas like this a reality.July 06, 2026 -

I absolutely do, and you have a few of them mentioned here!
Deadpool didn't make the list!?
A few of these I didn't have on my list, but I'll put them down as well!
I have another mini series brewing as well (PSX Grindhouse Horror) - so I'm trying to decide if I alternate, or I do a few back and forth.July 06, 2026 -

Thank you so much for your insight, and allowing me to harken back to your article!
I can't thank you enough! It was a great help to have another set of eyes and input!July 06, 2026
