Ah, I see! Well, just to offer my perspective, I think what you'd get in exchange is access to their audience, to their curators, to Steamdeck.
On top of that, there is some comfort for players in knowing the game went through a review process. And that they can read/post their own reviews.
Full Frost Fatales 2026 schedule (Mar 8-14):
gamesdonequick.com/schedule/64
UFO 50 is once again in Frost Fatales and thanks to @theyetee.com and artist @kduffles.bsky.social there's an awesome Alpha tee available as part of the event merch!
The UFO 50 Bingo Race is on Saturday, March 14, but the full event begins on March 8! Check it out and get a shirt if you're keen!
I'd personally love to have more of your games to play on Steam/my Steamdeck and recommend them on my curator channel.
Having your free games on there may also guide Steam players toward Cursed Castilla and Super Hydorah.
Website is live! Hopefully it works ok for everyone. Bookmark if you want to keep up with my work in the future 👻

Those photos are amazing! A published book that collected scans of some of those arcade community notebooks would be so cool.

While we're celebrating Zelda's 40th, I want to give some love to some of the foundational action adventure games that predated it. Hydlide, in particular, deserves more respect outside of Japan for what it did for the genre in '84 (PC88).

The Katsuya Terada illustration isn't technically of the first Zelda game, I don't think, but I always felt his work captured its spirit best.

Shout out to The Legend of Zelda after 40 years! A game whose sense of exploration and adventure still feels unparalleled to me in many ways.

Genuinely unnerving trailer for this upcoming stop-motion horror game. Just like the horror movies I'm interested in, I'm alternately excited and apprehensive to see what it's about!
And the team's previous games, Judero/Mashina (also stop-motion) are on sale: store.steampowered.com/bundle/49099...
I LOVE the new art-style for Rift Wizard 3. The first two games were pretty utilitarian pixel-art, but the chalk-sketch aesthetic here is gorgeous.
Fresh one up on my Youtube today, an A-Z exploration exercise of RPGs and strategy games on the Genesis! youtu.be/83_uoaxoIqA
Hopefully a few in there you haven't seen before, enjoy!
At GDC this year, I'll be one of several people giving a microtalk at this session:

The larger topic is "Games about Games" but my talk will be about game collections in particular.
I'm happy to hear that - thank you so much! I feel lucky to have gotten to work with some amazing people on them. 💓
