I've nothing to say in this introduction. I've run out of clever (and
not-so-clever) things to say about Epic giving away free games on
Thursdays. Maybe I'll think of something new next week. Anyway, let's
just jump right to the offerings.

* Castlevania Anniversary Collection
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/castlevania-anniversary-collection-a61f94
     This is a seriously awesome collection, and I say that
     even as somebody who doesn't really /like/ the Castlevania
     games all that much. But I'll be the first to admit that
     these games have had an outsized impact on the industry,
     and rightfully so. It does include all the 8- and 16-bit
     games in the franchise leading up to it (with the
     exception of "Rondo of Blood", but that was a TurboGrafix
     CD game, so it's not like most people even knew it existed
     anyway). It's a good primer of the series before "Symphony
     of Night", which is where the franchise truly blossomed
     (but is sadly not included in this collection).

That actually is quite the giveaway this week then.
I'm not even a fan of the games, but they are impressive in a lot of ways.

* Snakebird Complete
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/snakebird-complete-e6f0ae
     A puzzle game utilizing the basic mechanics of the classic
     "Snake" game, where every move makes you grow a little bit
     longer and trying to cross your length results in a game
     over, except rather than chasing after dots you need to
     navigate increasingly complex levels. Honestly, it's
     pretty much a mobile game (or, back in the day, a flash
     game) on PC, and while the core concept is sound, there's
     just not a lot of meat on the bone. But it probably
     appeals to some. Includes "Snakebird" and "Snakebird
     Primer".  You may already have it, as Epic offered it
     as a freebie back just under a year ago, in December 2023.

For the numb... wait, I already got this.
 
 
Start keeping track of duplicates, then :D

well, I will just notice once Epic tells me "In Library".

My number comes mostly from Launchbox, which gives me a sum of all the
games I have (and allows for entries containing multiple copies on
different storefronts)

But Snakebird is one of those games that I even commented on here, and
then forgot that I have it.


Fair enough
