As of January 1 2024, Steam will officially stop supporting the Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 operating systems.

After that date, the Steam Client will no longer run on those versions of Windows.
In order to continue running Steam and any games or other products purchased through Steam, users will need to update to a more recent version of Windows.
This change is required as core features in Steam rely on an embedded version of Google Chrome, which no longer functions on older versions of Windows.
In addition, future versions of Steam will require Windows feature and security updates only present in Windows 10 and above.

Shining Force 2: Return to Grans

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9geIrmeIeo

Return to Grans is a more challenging version of the original game, which also features a better narrative as well as improved visuals.

Dialogue in the game has been vastly reworked - about 40% of all text passages have been altered, replacing the oftentimes bland writing of the original.
Most of the not so appealing graphics in vanilla SF2 have been improved/replaced, such as the battle sprites of the Vicars or the Archers.
Difficulty and balance have been reworked by tweaking enemies’ stats, skills and numbers on the battlefield. Battles will usually appear familiar due to mostly the same enemies and setups, but will often play out quite differently thanks to new abilities, magic spells and some surprises.
Gameplay-wise, the hack will require you to play more tactical; careful positioning and a well-thought-out composition of your party are more important than in the original game.

Landstalker: Heart of Diamond - The Canceled Landstalker Sequel

Someone has posted pictures Landstalker: Heart of Diamond, a 1997 fan book which includes a summary of the story as well as drawings of the various characters drawn by Yoshitaka Tamaki for the cancelled 2nd episode.

Link : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qdSGcia64xCQisZHn2FFHl-b-wAeJ0LG/view?fbclid=IwAR0jgdxpkKBBFLQoQkk7FsZxG9hO_EKSELH3bXwnk5gjKeRVcukDj1PfqCk

It says that Lyle gained the ability to transform into various animals after receiving a magic wand, that Zak, Karla and her gang and the Duke of Mercator were back in the game and that the story was to take place in Gamul, a place we discover in the opening of the first episode.
Lyle and Friday are given a mission by the minister of Gamul to rescue a woman imprisoned in a diamond, presumably held by a demon king hiding in a dungeon and trying to conquer Gamul with his monster troops. Lyle refuses but goes after the demon king anyway.
Friday is kidnapped by the Duke of Mercator and the big bad of the story turns out to be the one who had given his task to Lyle, the imprisoned girl and the demon king being in fact a couple of beings of the same species, who have been targeted by the minister.
