*tear dropping*

 

Check out the Freeware game Cave Story.

Awesome soundtrack on that one.

The entire soundtrack of course also available for free from that site.

 

Yep, i've played it through sometime last year. Fantastic gameplay! It would be interesting to see how much mood actually comes from the pixel art and how the game would feel with todays graphics.

 

...and for the older ones amongst us: http://www-tc.pbs.org/kcts/videogamerevolution/arcade/name/name_that_game.swf?mii=1

 

I missed ET (never played it), GORF or whatever (never heard of it), and one more.... Think it was the zelda health warning.

 

Oh man cave story is the coolest. I love that game.

 

@Lallander
I got 16... ;O)

@Yoggy
The nice thing about the game is that is has gameplay and depth.

 

Not to mention that it's retro and free.

(and actually runs on mac)

 

... and not bloated...*to be continued* :O)

 

Not to forget good music......

 

also not the slightest tearing here...

 

tearing?

 

Due to that a screenupdate might not be synchronised with the vertical bank it can happen that you see both the image of the old and the new picture at the same time.

If you made any changes in the scene (transforms) you will notice a horizontal border from where on the content is displaced and so there are two halves of a scene which are teared apart from each other => tearing.


Back to buisness: ...and the steering is well done...
