• GamingOnLinux ☛ ASCII-based traditional roguelike 'Rangedrifter' has such a damn cool style | GamingOnLinux

  I love discovering new games, especially when they look as fascinating as the roguelike Rangedrifter. What caught my eye here is the graphical style. It looks like a classic ASCII game, but mixes in some fun effects to make it really come to life and it just looks awesome.

• GamingOnLinux ☛ Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace preservation project OpenPhantom adds Linux support via Wine / Proton | GamingOnLinux

  Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, the video game from 1999 is a bit of a blast from the past and now kept alive by OpenPhantom. An open source project that aims to be two things: a legacy patch to bring modern platform support and fixes, along with a reconstructed game engine as their long-term project to support modding and new features.

• MOZA Flight Adds Linux and macOS Force Feedback Support via FFB-Bridge

  Announced on September 1, 2026, the collaboration gives FFB-Bridge direct access to MOZA hardware, official SDK resources and the company’s technical team. The move should allow earlier hardware testing, faster resolution of device-specific issues and more reliable compatibility across supported desktop platforms.

  Importantly, this announcement concerns MOZA Flight hardware rather than MOZA Racing wheel bases. It should therefore not be interpreted as official Linux or macOS support for the MOZA R5 Pro, R5, R9, R12 or R16 Ultra.
