I thought the red crab was kind've cute though.

Are there any samples we can hear on the voice acting? I'm curious now.

X Operations - It doesn't look as good as half life 2 but I thought this game had a goofy childish appeal going for it. Instead of one long narrative you play it one little mission at a time and the themes are all over the place.  My favorite one involved using a Rambo type machine gun to escape from an underground tunnel full of zombies.

Hi, everyone.    My name is Tom and I came across Derek through Pixelation. If you like games and drawing it's a no brainer to like Derek's work. ;p

I really like Rygar.

Did you ever get the chance to play the newer one on ps2? It looked pretty good, but I'm not sure.

Is there going to be any Aquaman type action? Bending the fish and crustaceans to your iron will, making them go to Wendy's at 11pm to get you some chili and fries.

Gunstar Heroes.

I should stop here but.....i can't.

Remember those games that you played in the summertime when school was out, and it was melting hot outside and you couldn't play b-ball?  This was one of them.  This is the first game that I ever played for an entire day switching back and forth between friends, and beating it.  Seriously.  I woke up, played, Capn' Crunched, played, Saminch, played, Din Din, played, played, played, played, beat, more breakfast, sleep.  It was hard, fun, and extremely satisfying at the same time.  I'll never forget it.  EVER.

The flow of the game from level to level, even though it was a shooter, was a treasure that only TREASURE could dream up.  ****sorry****

The story line was nutts. It had Giant dice rolling semi-mini games.  But the boss battles.

This thread is giving me a warm fuzzy feeling about simpler times. I remember blowing through Gunstar Heroes in a single day with my brother because we rented it. My favorite level was the space shooter level with the optimus prime, crab, handgun boss.

Tom, I added some screenshots to your post - hope you don't mind.  I love screenshots!

Nah, it's cool, mang.

Lol, that's amazing.   Which guys have you not done yet, I think I want to do a chibi zombie doing the two step anyway. ;p

Hey guys, I figure if we post links to our favorite downloadable games we can save on individual leg work. There's too many to try out and it's a hassle  spending 3 hours downloading a game that isn't really that fun.  Free and shareware are both good.




Crimsonland (Shareware):  http://crimsonland.reflexive.com/
Shoot at a ton of monsters with really over the top weapons. Twitch gaming boiled down as simple as possible. 



Warning Forever (Freeware)
Lots of really fun shooters but this is my favorite from this programmer. Fight a shooter boss over and over with him evolving to defeat your playing style.

I played nothing but doom1&2 for 3 years so I can relate to that one. I miss having an attention span.


I'll probably never have this much fun playing a game ever again. It oozed with character and it was really fun to explore. I wish I could start all over without knowing a thing about it.


The double dragon formula married to rpg bean counting and exploration had me hooked.



The levels felt insanely huge and it was fun running around digging for secrets instead of just rushing through the levels like in the original super mario.
I would drive that boot to work if it were possible.



I didn't really care much for any other megman games but this one was really fun.  Really cute art direction and freedom to explore at your own pace was great.
