• FREE GAME: Crown Champion

    From Spalls Hurgenson@spallshurgenson@gmail.com to comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.action on Tue Jan 20 11:26:01 2026

    Proving that not just ant can post links to free crappy games
    available on Steam!

    (Just yankin' your antenna, ant! I love your posts! Keep it up!)



    * Crown Champion: Legends of the Arena https://store.steampowered.com/app/527710/Crown_Champion_Legends_of_the_Arena/
    Although maybe 'crappy' isn't a fair descriptor. "Unpolished"
    might be better. This game seems to have the bones of a good
    game in it, but it uses the RPGMaker engine and is very rough
    around the edges, visually and mechanically. Its gimmick is
    that you manage an arena-fighter academy. There's probably
    some meat to the bone, but also a lot of gristle; whether its
    worth your time really depends on how much amateurness you're
    willing to endure.

    Me, I have a library with thousands of unplayed games already. I think
    I'll pass.

    That's a tire-ant. "Tyr-ant" should be an ant with a tyrannosaurs head.

    But that would be a Tyrantasaurus Rex.

    Surely it would be an Ant from the City of Tyr, Russia.

    Or possible an Ant that worships the Norse deity Tyr.
    Also known as Tiw, and the origin of Tuesday, as Thursday is derived

    I was thinking of that, but the ant has a little (fake horned) viking
