  <description>What We Are Playing This Week
Megaman X-2. I conquered the first entry in the X series as a kid many times, but never gave the sequels much of a chance. Now I’m changing that, and already discovering what I’ve missed. 
Steamdeck as a retro gaming paradise

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rs9jDHIDKkU 
https://linuxgamingcentral.com/posts/metroid-prime-trilogy-on-deck/ 
Dreamcast Defense Force
Analogy: Imagine a supremely talented athlete being drafted by a franchise that is clueless how to surround the player with talent and is saddled with a front office who are utterly incompetent. That’s what happened to the Dreamcast! In the end, the athlete never sniffs a championship and never gets the full recognition they deserve.
Shenmue: The open-world genre owes a huge debt of gratitude to Shenmue. Truly ahead of its time.
