Overview
Description

Counter-Strike 2 is the free-to-play successor to CS:GO, a tactical 5v5 shooter defined by precise gunplay, economy management, and deep competitive play built on the new Source 2 engine.

Gauntlet Legends is a 1998 arcade title from Atari Games that blends fantasy role‑playing with fast‑paced hack‑and‑slash action. Players choose from iconic heroes and battle through sprawling dungeons, collecting treasure and power‑ups. The game introduced password saving and character persistence, letting players continue their progress across multiple sessions—a rarity for arcade machines of its era. It supports both solo and cooperative split‑screen play, making it a perfect retro multiplayer experience.

So much fun

Counter-Strike 2 has been my go-to lately. Pure skill-based gunplay. One gripe: steep learning curve. Would recommend.
