Nice haul of games, Maru!

Recently scored Forager and Post Void on Fanatical and Steam respectively, mostly since a Portmaster port of each hit recently. Also, GOG had a sale and I snagged a few 10ton games (Undead Horde 2 and Dysmantle were not on sale, though) and there were a couple of new bundles on Fanatical.

In the Diamond Collection, I scored Heaven Dust II, Cardboard Town and The Complete Dread X Collection for $15, marked down from their combined MSRP of almost $82! Most of that combined MSRP comes from the $47 Complete Dread X Collection, with over 50 games across five collections. There was also the Build Your Own Spring Bundle where I snagged another five games (Trifox, Flame Keeper, What Lies in the Multiverse, Don't Be Afraid and Just Die Already) for a mere $2.99. And a couple of weeks ago I snagged the Killer Bundle: Very Positive Edition for $14.99, which is 95% off the combined MSRP of its contents. I've also scored both Valfaris games, Donut Dodo, The Coma: Recut, Highrisers, Party Hard and Second Sight, and a few others.

I also purchased Viviette and SteamWorld Quest from Steam.

I still hold that the Vectrex is the most objectively COOL system ever.

What are your thoughts on overlays? I've been playing Mine Storm for a couple days with the repro overlay that it came with. The screen seemed sort of washed out, but I figured that was due to the hardware being more than 40 years old. Tonight I took off the overlay and the screen was as sharp and as beautiful as the test unit I saw in a toy store back in 1983. It'd be nice to have a bit of color, but now I'm thinking that overlays are kind of like a video game prophylactic. And while it's true that I don't know where my Vectrex has been, I'm willing to take the risks for greater retrogaming pleasure.
