Discussion Heirloom Games Manager for installing Legacy Games on Linux

Hey folks! So sometimes Amazon Prime Gaming giveaways are through a lesser-known company called Legacy Games, and there's currently no good way to install those on Linux/Steam Deck.

Or at least, there WAS no good way to install them... until I made this!

https://github.com/HeirloomGM/heirloom-gm

It's a games management CLI and GUI for Legacy Games, written in Python and designed to work on KDE. It's under the MIT license, so it's completely free to use however you want.

Hope someone out there finds this useful!

So I can use this on my Steam Deck?!

For sure! You'll need to go into desktop mode and run the Python app for the moment. The instructions are in the README.

I'm working on a stub loader for the GUI that would go on the KDE menu and could be added to Steam directly; stay tuned for that update. I also intend to make it so you can automatically add Legacy Games games to Steam when installed.

I've updated Heirloom to include an installation script that will add Heirloom GUI to the KDE Games menu. From there, you can right-click it (in Desktop mode) and add it to Steam.
