The New Video Game Recommendation Thread v2.0

[Jonesey]

Alright - I'm being spoilt this weekend. Check out Godkiller for the Speccy 128! Very tidy. Slowdown and everything.

A frankly excellent new version of Donkey Kong Junior has been released for the C64.




Download it for free HERE.

Recommended - Lethal League - Dodgeball / Pong / Streetfighter / Break Dancing culture mixed together into a fast paced baseball fighting game with a strong nod to 80s street culture. About $7 or 4 Quid on steam this weekend.

Excellent little (free) Tron light cycle remake, give it a whirl.

Catslevania for the ZX Spectrum 128. Great stuff. You can redefine the keys as well so don't worry about that QAOP bollocks.

Disappointed at lack of cats.

Tough Love Machine



“Wiggle arms, touch hearts”

A short, original and fiendishly ingenious, puzzle game. Free, hosted on various portals.

1. Downwell

It's a really simple game that's on Steam for £1.99. Minimalist retro graphics - which work, because the game moves fast, and just detecting "red = danger" in a split second is basically all you need. You fall down a well, with guns on your feet. You can bounce off white enemies to kill them, and need to shoot red enemies. There are also different foot weapon power-ups and a little shop to buy things from.

2. Undertale

Also on Steam. It's a weird retro-style RPG that's just very funny and you don't have to kill anyone. Battles take place with you avoiding bullet patterns, sometimes danmaku style. Every action you make, the game remembers. Even if you don't save the game and reload, it might still remember. It's making a large number of people wish their mother was a friendly goat. It's making people laugh and cry.

Man, my kids are so into Undertale.

Short, simple 3D maze game that really messes with your mind:

And rightly so! Game looks so simple, but it's really a breath of fresh air The entire story telling is well done, the fighting system is a nice change, albeit sometimes frustrating. All in all, one of the better small games I've seen in a while!

Currently playing Morrowind. Except for all the bugs, I can recommend that one. Next up after that:
Loom
The Dig
Grim Fandango
Sam & Max
Age of Decadence
Wasteland 2
Fallout 1 or Tactics (still got 1, 2 and Tactics to play)
Night of the Rabbit
Baldurs Gate
Oblivion

Probably got a few more, but don't have Steam and Good Old Games here with me, so can't check which ones I put in "next up". I'll be busy with this list for quite a while already. The adventure games should go pretty fast. The RPGs, on the other hand, can easily take 6 - 7 months each.

BARRIER X on Steam. It's very simple, super twitchy, very pure. By stage 4 it gets proper mental.

A lot of the reviews compare it to Super Hexagon and Velocibox, and normally my reaction to that would be "well it's not for me then, is it?" but no, this one's much more fun, much easier to get into, IMO.

It's also currently priced at 39p, which is why I decided to give it a go.

Oh also the guy in the image banner for the game totally reminds me of the kid on the Super Megason IV box : http://i.imgur.com/uyr2Mrx.jpg

Just picked this up today, and am absolutely loving ot so far. It's really cleverly done. I fucked up near the beginning and

Spoiler: show

regretted killing someone

, so I quit out and restarted from the save point,

and the game knew, and didn't let me forget it

...

(Not really spoiling any story stuff, I think, but I put in spoiler tags just to be sure)

If you haven't all played Gris yet, you should. Genre-wise it's a platform adventure. Beautiful watercolour artstyle, hand-drawn animation, and the music is sublime. There are some puzzles. It's not a difficult game, nor a particularly long one. It has a lot in common with Journey for the ps3/ps4, so if you liked that, you'll like this. I really really love this game.

Thanks for that recommendation as I totally miss this game And Nintendo Life gave it 9 out of 10 to so I’ll get it later -
