Edit: Oh yeahh!!! Klass Of 99 http://retrospec.sgn...klass/downl.htm

Heh, this a pretty original idea. Making a mod that's simply TSC script. I'm not sure if anyone's thought of this on the forums. Not even Noxid, that sly bastard!!

1. Cave Story - Would I be here if it were anything else? Probably not.
2. Iji - Rocks my socks, but Cave Story already had my soul.
4. A game with a Kitty - Why you guys like #2 better? Does it even have a kitty? I didn't see one.
3. Any finished "Full size" CS Mod - Because mods are winsome. But scarce.
5. La-Mulana - Okay, I'll be honest, I haven't actually played this, but it looks good, and DC has like 80 videos for it. It's either this or IWBTG for #5 as "Games I haven't played but look like I would enjoy greatly if I did".

1. Zelda Classic http://www.purezc.com/-active community http://www.zeldaclassic.com/-another active community, plus it has the 2.10 engine-it's the original loz engine, but now improved, ever expanding, some betas even mimic Gamboy abilities. Plus there's an active community that's has about 16 pages worth of quests made for it. Very awesome, and my first good experience with freeware games.

2. CaveStory-pure awesomeness, made me remember the old nes days for sheer difficulty and awesome secrets.

3. Iji http://remar.se/daniel/iji.php- holy crap, this completely revised my opinion of GameMaker, it turns out you CAN make some seriously awesome stuff with it.

4. La Mulana http://db.tigsource....games/la-mulana-(sorry, can't remember the original site, lemme know if this one works)-Old School difficulty in it's prime, with equally Old School graphics. May cause you to commit suicide due to some of it's absolutely evil puzzles, though, damnit, that thing is eeeeevvvviiiilllll. EVIL! But still awesome.

5. Another Metroid 2 remake http://metroid2remake.blogspot.com/- Metroid II remade with incredible graphics and awesome design. Also made with Game Maker, seriously, in the right hands, you can make some really good stuff, some just as good as Cave story.

*Knock knock* Who's there? Necrophilia.

Anyways:

4. A game with a Kitty - Why you guys like #2 better? Does it even have a kitty? I didn't see one.

I completely agree. Loved that game although I sucked at it and never managed to finish it.

I hate making top lists and putting numbers on everything so I'll just give a few recommendations on excellent freeware stuff.

When it comes to platformers, there's always:
Posted Image
Tower of God
Quite challenging and short Gameboy-ish game where new rules are continously added.


Posted Image
Au Sable
An atmospherical horror run-n-gun with a very interesting control scheme.


Posted Image
Ivory Springs and other Konjak games
Old-school fun and in overall a good indie-developer



Other games:
Posted Image
(I Fell in Love With) The Majesty of Colors
Lovely and atmospherical point-and-click.


Posted Image
Today I Die
Stunning game that plays with poetry.


Posted Image
The Endless Forest
You play as a deer. You interact with other players through gestures. Unfortunately doesn't work too well on my computer.


Posted Image
Mondo Medicals and everything by Cactus
Whilst you were reading this post, Cactus made 7 new games.


Posted Image
Edmund
Noir-ish game about a rapist.


Posted Image
I'm not a Bad Person really, I just have low self-esteem
A short take on the Little Red Ridinghood.


I can also recommend the previously mentioned Karoshi 2.0, Knytt Stories, Knytt. Cave Story is a no-brainer.
Highly offensive signature
