Welcome to the Indie Showcase , a semi-regular column on Big Download that takes a look at games we haven’t covered on the site that we really think you should play. Yet another competition at tigsource has finished, and yet another batch of great little indie games have been released on an unsuspecting populace. This particular competi...... [Show More]
Cave Story Doukutsu Monogatari è un piccolo capolavoro di pixel art (e chip tune) rilasciato da Daisuke “Pixel” Amaya nel 2004, dopo ben cinque anni di intenso lavoro.
Si tratta di un platform ufficialmente ispirato, per stile grafico e gameplay, a classici del passato come Metroid e Castlevania, che non rinuncia tuttavia ad elementi propri del genere avventuroso: in vir...... [Show More]

Tem um tempinho que queria escrever sobre esse jogo já…
The Underside
…finalmente escrevi o tópico para ele.
The Underside é um jogo que vai parecer bem familiar pros fãs de Cave Story .
Decladamente “ins piradoR 21; no clássico (más linguas falam que é uma cópia descarada), The Underside tem uma difícil missão de fazer juz ao semelhante.

Oh, what a great game! Rock Boshers has everything, that you eventually miss on modern games: a slowly unfolding story, easy controls, fine graphics (if you love pixel) and a very charming retro spectrum ZX style. I don’t know exactly why, but the game hooked me from the very first second.
The loader of the game simulates an original “Tape loader” of the Spectrum ...... [Show More]

As animações são tão aleatórias, toscas e bizarras…
…que o jogo pode acabar sendo divertido.

Have been wandering quite happily around Las Vegas today - and it’s interesting that more than the obvious gambling rigmarole, the standard of restaurants is particularly high, even for plebs such as ourselves. This is thanks to downhome but upscale eateries like Hubert Keller’s ’Burger Bar’ and Tom Colicchio’s ’Wic hcraft&rsq uo; .
But this has nothing t...... [Show More]

teach a man to fish Post Source: cymonsgames.retroremakes.com Posted: Nov 05 2008 13:00:06
Try as I would I couldn’t get that old saying about fishing to quite fit with what I wanted it to say: “Give an audience a game and you entertain them for a day, Give an audience the level designer and they’ll entertain you years.”
Normally I try not to echo popular sites preferring instead to report on less popular topics or topics that have already been discussed to ...... [Show More]
Lawks a lordy, it’s Monday again, and that means the latest GameSetLinkDump, wonderfully started off by GameTunnel’s monthly indie game round-up - which will never ever die properly, much like horrible movie franchises like Saw, as far as we can work out.
Anyhow, this latest set of links includes pics of steampunk MMO Gatheryn, courtesy of sister online worlds site Worlds In Moti...... [Show More]
Via GameSetWatch via tigsource is a list of masterful ZZT games .
This fills my cold black heart with something akin to glee.
For anyone growing up in the nineties that had the game design bug, ZZT was where it was at. On a diskette somewhere in my closet exists all my ZZT modules. I’m sure today I would look at them with disgust moreso than nostalgia, but I went from stupid stock...... [Show More]
OK, still trekking across the universe with plenty of RSS-related GameSetLinkDump goodness in tow - and this episode starts out with MTV Multiplayer discussing the state of game over with some smart developer types.
Also hanging out in here - hidden-ish characters from Grand Theft Auto 3, the best ZZT games ever, the MUD’s birthday, Crispy Gamer’s cash injection, new shooting game...... [Show More]
Having recently discovered TIG (The Independent Game) Source site, i’ve stumbled accross a few excellent examples, both single and multiplayer, that you should check out.
Gravity Hook
The first and easily most addictive game I got stuck playing was Gravity Hook, by Adam Saltsman and Danny Baranowsky, a flash game simply based on single click frenzied gameplay.

Chances are that if you’re reading this blog, you’ve already heard of this, but I’ll put it here for archiving. :)
Trouble In Euclidea is a game I made for the tigsource Bootleg Demake Competition as an obvious demake of Geometry Wars. My intent was to demake the graphics (by using ASCII art for everything) more than the gameplay, but it turns out most peo...... [Show More]
