Also I never really thought about it deeply but in ActRaiser you play the Judeo-Christian God and kill the "false gods" of the Greek, Egyptian, and Hindu pantheons before going after Satan.

It's like God of War but not absolute poo poo

some adventure time games are getting delisted today including one that I just beat, Finn & Jake Investigations

I can't recommend it because the combat sections are garbage, but the rest of the game was pretty fun as they basically tried to make a "Sam & Max-era Telltale" game with inventory puzzling and lots of dialogue

I was looking up the status of that game the other day. It's original 1.0 launch was to be in 2014. As of today it is in 3.1 pre-alpha.

When people post codes without obfuscation they are instantly snatched up and no one acknowledges them, which means they were probably crawled by bots.

Anecdotal, but putting captcha-style roadblocks seems to increase the chance they go to real posters
