Hi everyone! So I just switched to Linux and I am a little unsure of what to play on my laptop.

It's a presumably decent laptop, 16gb of ram and Iris Xe, but I find that it has battery issues trying to play anything fancy like Skyrim.

I'm looking into things like emulation, finally tackling my Itch.io backlog, and bringing out old classics.

I like RPGs and text-based choose your own adventure games, so if you have any recommendations I'd appreciate it!

Or even the first RCT as it's written in assembly. Can't get much more efficient than that, even a potato can run it.

I'm also amazed by it. How can you write a full game that looks as good as Rollercoaster Tycoon when you're shifting bits left and right on the stack? Some kind of wizardry, that's what.

Even more impressive when you realize it was coded by one dude primarily, crazy stuff.
