It was released for Wii, Nintendo DS, iOS, Microsoft Windows, OS X, Android and Linux spanning 2009 to 2012.

Then I saw on the game page that the characters were designed by the person who created _My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic_. I grabbed it because my youngest daughter loves that cartoon and would at least probably like to watch me play it. We already play a tabletop RPG based on the cartoon. ---

Not to complain about free games, because hey…free games. But I haven’t grabbed anything from Epic yet. ---

By the way, there is free DLC with Amazon Prime for Total War: WARHAMMER II on Epic Games. I think the full game was free on Amazon Prime or Epic itself previously: [The Twisted & The Twilight Lords Park](https://gaming.amazon.com/twisted-twilight-lords-pack/dp/amzn1.pg.item.802dbadd-92d9-4f28-ae95-fbb637fade5e?ingress=amzn) It expires on December 21, and seems to be more substantial than just the usual free game loot. There are new Characters and units, and I think new factions, for Wood Elves and Skaven. The usual December Amazon Prime free games are still available until the end of December. They are Quake on Epic Games, Rose Riddle 2: Werewolf Shadow on Legacy Games, and Spinch, Desert Child, Brother: A Tale of Two Sons, Banners of Ruin, The Amazing American Circus and Doors:Paradox, all on Amazon. ---

While not completely on the subject, the Epic sale has been on a few days, and decent prices for a few things, but the icing on the cake is the 25% off voucher which knocks down my full price all dlc and the new expansion Far Cry 6 to £30. Seems to be on till January in case people are waiting for christmas cash to be gifted. ---

I got excited about the game and when I went to claim it, it was already in my library. When did I pick that game up?! ETA: Ah, it was free back in June. > [@Free PC game and free weekend notification thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/free-pc-game-and-free-weekend-notification-thread/704513/1386): > > [Wolfenstein - The new order](https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/wolfenstein-the-new-order) free on Epic this week. If you’ve not played it, and like 3d shooters, this is a good one. The best of the series (IMHO Old Blood next, New Colossus next and Youngblood had so many bugs I gave up), and rebooted the series into modern gaming, of stealth and shooting in a world run by Nazis. ---

Yeah, I was going to say, I think I already have that for some reason. Picking it up for free in June aligns with my memory. I’ll double check just to be sure though. ---

For anyone hesitant to play an old 800x600 iso RPG, there are high-res patches available for Fallout and Fallout 2. Makes menus etc. scale properly at higher resolutions. If you started with 3/NV/4 and haven’t played either of these, I would encourage you to check them out. Dangit, now I want to play them again. ---

I loved Fallout 1 and 2 waaaay back in the day. Seeing those makes me nostalgic. I’m going to grab those freebies and massacre some Hubologists. ---
