• Mortal Kombat
• Street Fighter
• Darkstalkers
• Samurai Showdown
• Tekken
• Clay Fighter
• Bushido Blade

Fantasy Strike is a 3D fighting game where you can play against opponents online. I was able to use my Xbox controller in Mint 18.3 and utilize all of the available characters. The art is very Borderlands-style and animations are perfect for fact action fighting and special moves. Each character have typical (Street Fighter & Mortal Kombat) moves, but also a few unique moves as well. As with any fighting game, you...

Choose a team of 3 characters from the Sonic games and work your way through fast levels full of jumps, traps and enemies. Switch between your characters abilities to eliminate enemies and finish the level. Each level can be completed in different ways and then at the end is a boss fight.

Library Tab
Is kind of confusing, specially with no games installed. It must be where the shortcuts will reside once you install something?

Apps Tab
This is where you can search their repository of scripted installers... or Games. Similar to clicking Install in POL4

Containers Tab

Space Cadet Pinball is the classic game bundled with Windows XP. I remember playing it when I was younger and invested many hours clanking the metal ball around. In Space Cadet you have to complete missions for extra points which usually means hitting targets or successfully aiming the ball into hard-to-reach areas. Its quite rewarding for such a simple game.
