The new MV3 architecture reflects Google’s avowed desire to make browser extensions more performant, private, and secure.

The project has been in the works for a while. About a year ago it seems several YouTube videos were released covering it. Here is one by T0nik. I was pleasantly surprised to see it is being worked on....
It will focus on total conversions of the main games. So Miami, Frontier, that mod that's set in Oregon, the Russian one for Fallout 2 (can't remember the name ATM), London, the Van Buren Remake, etc. I've never heard of Fallout 3 in OpenMW but I'll be including that now. That sounds neat.
Problem is I made this list awhile ago and never checked if the projects were active or not. I'll be checking that. But its gonna be anything I've seen that I though looked cool, no matter inactivity or how early in development.
I'll even throw in a mention of similar games like Ashes 2063.
I wrote an article about the 3 games and just how good they are. Imo, they're extremely underrated. I really wanna play more games similar to it but I can't find much in the way of isometric collectathons(?) at all. Looking for any suggestions. Apologies if this isn't the right spot. GBA is retro right?...
The Zelda games on the Game Boy and Colour are unique within the Zelda series as a whole. Strange plots, enemies, music, mystery and even gameplay plague the three games. Hell, in Link's Awakening half the enemies are straight up from Super Mario Bros. And the oracle games come with novels and feature interconnected password...
Alone: The Horror Begins is allegedly (more on that later) a J2ME game developed by Centrescore, a company I can barely find any information about. This company is hard to track down. After scouring their old website I still can't figure out where they were even located. I guess somewhere in the U.S.A. but even then all the info...
From the github description: "A Virtual Boy emulator for the Nintendo 3DS continuing mrdanielps's work on r3Ddragon, which is itself based on Reality Boy / Red Dragon. It uses a dynamic recompiler with busywait detection and a hardware-accelerated renderer to achieve high performance on the 3DS's limited hardware."
I've always been fascinated by these small computers. GPD makes these kinds of devices too. Ordered one once but I never got it. Been thinking of building one myself though I'm worried it would be too small to enjoyable use. I would definitely write on it, that I am sure of.

No idea how many people here are familiar with Zool but it was an especially charming platformer for early PC gaming. I think it's more remembered on the consoles from the time but the best versions were on PC (Amiga CD32 for Zool 1, either Jaguar or CD32 for Zool 2, i gotta write a comparison of those).

I wrote an article arguing that Web1.0, 2.0 and Web3 are all incorrect and inaccurate ways to categorize the web's history. Originally I was just going to write a post about how I didn't like the term Web3 but after reading about Web1.0 and 2.0 I don't like those either. It feels way too high level and ignores that the Internet...

Anyone know any games similar to the Spyro GBA ones? Isometric collectathons? I need more like this.
