Overview
Description

Apex Legends is a free-to-play battle royale built around squads of “Legends” with unique abilities, praised for its fast, fluid movement, gunplay, and ping communication system.

Pooyan is a vintage arcade shooter where you control Mama, a brave pig fighting to save her kidnapped babies from a pack of wolves. The game features simple vertical shooting mechanics, charming pixel art, and an addictive high‑score chase that defined early 80s arcade fun. Originally released in 1982 by Stern Electronics under license from Konami, Pooyan has been re‑released on modern platforms, preserving its retro charm while offering smooth controls for both solo and competitive play.

So much fun

Apex Legends has been my go-to lately. Strong hero design. One gripe: steep aim skill ceiling. Would recommend.
