Forum Overview :: Mischief Maker's Maker's Mark :: Honorable Mentions

[quote name="Mischief Maker"]Here are some games that didn't make the list because I either hadn't heard of them before I finished the list or they're games I don't care for but other people love. <A HREF="http://www.dwahan.net/uki/" TARGET="new">Cloudphobia</A> (Freeware) The most drop-dead gorgeous freeware shmup I have ever seen. Your desire for transforming mecha porn will be satisfied here. Note that the sword mech is the true player's choice. <A HREF="http://www.wesnoth.org/" TARGET="new">The Battle for Wesnoth</A> (Freeware) A huge community-built turn based fantasy strategy game with emphasis on leveling-up units. <A HREF="http://www.moonpod.com/English/about_ss.php" TARGET="new">Starscape</A> (Shareware) A very pretty cross between Sinistar and the RTS portions of "Giants: Citizen Kabuto." <A HREF="http://www.toribash.com/" TARGET="new">Toribash</A> (Freeware but you pay for extras) A turn-based fighting game where you adjust your guy's joints to pull off moves. Worth downloading just to see the built in replays of fighters tearing their own heads off and throwing them through the other guy's torso. <A HREF="http://agtp.romhack.net/project.php?id=lamulana" TARGET="new">La Mulana</A> (Freeware) Gigantic Indiana Jones-styled metroid-alike with 8-bit productions values <A HREF="http://www.datarealms.com/" TARGET="new">Cortex Command</A> (WIP) Kind of like a cross between "Worms" and "Metal Slug." <A HREF="http://my.vector.co.jp/servlet/System.FileDownload/download/http/0/345493/pack/win95/game/action/nikujin.lzh" TARGET="new">Nikujin</A> <I>Direct Link</I> (Freeware) Brutally difficult platformer where you play a nude ninja. <A HREF="http://www.ninjabee.com/outpostkaloki.html" TARGET="new">Outpost Kaloki</A> (Shareware) Space Station management game with a cartoony futurama-esque style. It was ported to XBLA. <A HREF="http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/" TARGET="new">Dwarf Fortress</A> (WIP) One part Dungeon Keeper, one part Nethack, ten parts insanity. It's amazing what a pair of mentally unbalanced shut-in brothers can accomplish. <A HREF="http://edelweiss.skr.jp/works/ethervapor/index.html" TARGET="new">Ether Vapor</A> (Import) Absolutely gorgeous shmup that's plays like Raystorm with a touch of Einhander. It just went on sale at <A HREF="http://www.himeyashop.com/product_info.php/products_id/9163" TARGET="new">Himeya Shop</A> last week.[/quote]
