Cover Title Genre Description Link Screenshot
Battle Kid: Fortress of Peril Platformer This game is a take on the game, "I Wanna Be The Guy!" It even has the same sprite. The only difference is that it is more Metroidvania like and you get power-ups. Not quite as hard as IWBTG, but still rather difficult. Commercial
Battle Kid 2: Mountain of Torment Platformer Bigger, better, and even more teeth grinding hard than the original. Commercial
Berzerk Shmup / maze Be a humanoid in a maze full of deadly robots. Faithful port of the arcade classic. Commercial
Blade Buster Shmup A short but pretty sweet caravan-style shooter. Fast-paced, very good visuals, some suspiciously familiar music... *cough*Super Star Soldier*cough* Link
From Below Puzzle Tetris with a twist: while you try to move some blocks around, the Kraken emerges from the depths to push them out of alignment. Link
Larry And The Long Look For A Luscious Lover Adventure You're a balding 40-year-old virgin, and tonight you're going out to try and find yourself some action. Fan remake of the PC classic Leisure Suit Larry. Commercial
Micro Mages Platformer A fast-paced upward-scrolling shooting platformer with 4-player co-op. Also on PC. Commercial
Over Obj Shoot 'em up A true bullet hell that blows past the NES' usual sprite limit. Commercial
The Great Gatsby Platformer The lost NES version of F. Scott Fitzgerald's literary masterpiece, unearthed as a mysterious prototype cartridge from a yard sale! Or that's the tale they made up, it's a parody of all the adaptations without rhyme or reason that the NES got. Short and dead easy, but pretty fun. Link
The Legends of Owlia Action-adventure The merman king has captured the great Owl-gods, and it's up to you to free them and restore peace to the land. You command an owl to fight and solve puzzles. Link
