In my personal time I like to try old games which were released when I was growing up but never got to play. This week I came across Warzone 2100, which I'd never heard of before, but was apparently an RTS (Real Time Strategy) waaaay back on the original PlayStation (PS1). In checking the wikipedia page I came to find out it's also open source and available to play on any modern computer.

Given that researchers found last year that 87% of video games created were not represented in the current market it is remarkable to find a PS1 era release simply available to download and play without any emulation or ethical concerns.

Arranger caught my eye a few months ago when I saw a gameplay trailer and I knew it was going to be something worth playing. Consider this: classic tile based movement, but all the tiles ahead and behind you move along with you. It released today and I am already loving it (being 3.5hrs into playing it). The puzzle dynamics are excellent and some of them evoke a nostalgic sense for puzzles from Chip's Challenge which I grew up playing.

It's available on Steam, Epic, Playstation, and Switch right now if you want to check it out.
