This week's testing highlights: 23 games across Epic, GOG, itch.io storefronts — including cool finds like Angry Video Game Nerd I & II Deluxe, And Yet It Moves and Arachnowpunk all work out of the box.

Happy Holidays Everyone!

Wow, can’t believe it’s Christmas already! Where did 2025 go? Time just flew by for us both, and we’re definitely not ready for 2026 yet. Don’t get me wrong, we’re excited for what next year will bring for Junk Store, but there’s still so much we want to wrap up before the year ends!

I tested as many games as I could this week, though I missed a few and ran out of time tinkering with others. I’m hoping to catch up on those before we head to my parents’ place for Christmas. My sister, brother-in-law, and nephews will be joining us for Christmas day, then we’ll head back to the boat before New Year to finish up some outstanding bits.

We hope you all have a fantastic Christmas wherever you are and whatever you’re doing! Now, let’s get into this week’s testing results:
