Stealth Inc 2 free this weekend

Humble is having an "End of Summer" Sale, and just like last time I remember them doing something like this, they're giving away a game for free.

This time, it's Stealth Inc 2. No idea if its any good, I've only played Stealth Bastard. But hey, free game!

Available until the 31st.

On an unrelated note

I've seen (And played a little of) the Megaman Legacy Collection. It's really solid. I'd say get it if the price comes down a few notches over the next Steam sale, especially if you've never played a Megaman game before :D

There is a little contention over the release though. The creators are saying they created an "Entirely new engine" and are fond of calling this release a "port".

Reddit users have discovered though that there exist the full ROM dumps of the original US/EU cartridges that, when iNES headers are added, can be played in an emulator.

Quite frankly, if the guys used emulation, they should just say they used it. But I do think that it's possible that they're just pulling sprite and palette data from the ROMs (Not that hard to do); there are several things (Like hooks for the challenge mode and such) that would be a pain to do if this was just emulation as opposed to a port or custom engine.

Personally, I'm probably not going to buy this unless the price comes down; I already have a couple of Famicom Megaman carts at home, and have played the heck out of the entire series to the point where I don't actually play the games that much any more.

I'll update this blog if there are any more freebies, or particularly good sales.

I never had much fun with the free games they gave out. Or most games i bought from there in general. Im still sitting on like 15 game keys i never used from bundles. As for MegamaN Legacy, i dont see any reason to buy another collection. I still have the one for gamecube which includes the first 8 games and the 2 fighting arcade games.
