Zilspleef	Mosoft (Mo Dernart)	2018	Quite a unique shooter and once again bizarre by Mo Dernart. The wind-up toy soldiers and trailing dog heads are pretty awesome and for this one it once again takes a crucial shooter-crawler approach. It appears you play as (pot-smoking?) bubble who must avoid getting pricked and popping themselves or run into enemy and there flashing pixels of death. The great element is both technical and chrome-induced: First, the main enemies, such as the soldiers or 'dog soldiers' leave trails that if you do not 'take action' asap by either shooting or dodging you can get trapped requiring pixel-tight escape paths to slow you down. Very interesting and the trails are randomly generated. Therefore like in Mo Dernart previous games of this type it requires the decision to crawl, defend versus attack and evade or dodge. But maybe even more so here. Also there is one tricky maze-like 3-4 push scroll-screener that you have walk through hidden passage, spoiler aside there is a physical clue. There may also be another such spot, so player must think a bit, much lighter though than a couple other games by the developer. Secondly, like the games very dark color palette, thee is a dark, foreboding but simultaneous happy? atmosphere, perhaps surreal is a better term. The backdrop as one will see in an odd 2-color floor or walls or either rock wall barriers or prickling spikes and traps. It might take a few tries to discern that graphic patterns (not uncommon to a couple games by the developer). But it's rather simple and becomes obvious. There is some sort of odd world build here with pseudo-fascist or nazi-type regime at play here including wind-up soldiers and large banners making things literally like the color scheme dark and dystopia. Lastly, there are also some other weird sprite such a smiley flashing block and even a dancing lemon? Overall, I found it very challenge and it took me a good while to beat it. Very unique game. Tip: I first played it on emulator with default VICE PAL setting. This might be best for beginner trying to figure games out. NTSC is faster on the speed and more challenging. I haven't played it in a while and just tossed it on my NTSC. Maybe I am just used to the games as it seems fine, but I know I struggled a far bit more when I got a copy a longtime ago and did play on PAL mode. Consider it a difficulty level swap maybe.

Ys Origin	Nihon Falcom;XSEED (Nihon Falcom)	2006	700 years before the events of Ys I & II, the land of Ys was on the brink of destruction. Demons came in droves and forced the twin Goddesses who ruled the land to whisk their subjects away from the surface, into the safe embrace of the clouds. The demons were persistent, however, erecting a massive tower in pursuit. The battle that raged upon the ground had begun ascending for a second round up above. One day, amidst this turmoil, the Goddesses stole away into the night, vanishing from Ys altogether. And there's only one place they could have gone: the Devil's Tower. A search party of knights and sorcerers was hastily formed and dispatched to the surface in hopes of retrieving these runaway deities. Among its members were apprentice knight Yunica Tovah and troubled sorcerer Hugo Fact. This is their story. Or at least, it's how each of them remembers it. Expanding upon the gameplay elements introduced in Ys: The Ark of Napishtim and further developed in Ys: The Oath in Felghana, Ys Origin perfects the formula by adding different styles of play and new features never before seen in the Ys universe. Best described as an arcade-like platformer RPG with Metroidvania elements and a complex, multi-faceted narrative, Ys Origin is the perfect mix of action, exploration and story. Screen-filling bosses with complex AI, unique platforming elements, innovative puzzles and a deeply involving mystery await within the wildly varied confines of this classic Ys dungeon. Come see how long you can last in the Devil's Tower... Key Features: * Officially available in English for the very first time. * Three unique playable characters in story mode, with additional variations (and characters?) unlockable through other modes. * Five difficulty levels ranging from "Very Easy" for casual players to "Nightmare" for true Ys masters. * Unlockable "Time Attack" and "Boss Rush" modes for anyone looking to show off his/her boss-taming abilities. * Unlockable Arena Mode pits players against massive hordes of enemies for unique gameplay rewards. * Over 40 unique Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud support and hundreds of highly competitive leaderboards. * Minutely configurable high-resolution graphics with true widescreen support. * Fully adjustable controls supporting virtually any USB gamepad, as well as a standard keyboard and mouse setup.*Steam/English release was on 2012-05-31*Prequel to the whole Ys series and the second game that doesn't revolve around Adol Christin (first was Ys Strategy), set some 700 years before the events of Ancient Ys Vanished (Ys 1&2). The chosen character affects the story some, but the played areas and such are the same. Encountered NPCs, including bosses, are not always the same and the dialogue tends to be different even if following the same lines. Some items are found in different places too.	Windows

Wake	Boss Baddie	2010	Te despiertas. El agua sube. Decide a donde ir. Estas son las premisas del juego. Transmite muy bien la sensación de agobio claustrofóbico con la música y los gráficos. Tiene una cierta rejugabilidad basada en descubrir todas las rutas posibles. Es un juego pensado para ser pasado de una sentada, que no se alarga mucho más allá de media hora (e incluso menos) Interesante. 6 de 10*Wake 2013 is an updated version that was not sold separately. Owners of original Wake could update to it for free and Desura copy of Wake was automatically updated to it.Note on the screenshots: the game really does look like that. The somewhat odd resolution is due to Multimedia Fusion's method of windowed gameplay easily fixed by using fullscreen mode but it wouldn't affect the "quality".*Wake is the story of an engineer trapped on a sinking ship. His goal is to navigate through the ship and find his way to the surface above. Dodge bullets and fire, most of all avoid drowning! * Collect keys, torches, flares and even an axe to help you escape * Discover the secrets of what really happened * 18 achievements * Online highscores * Full Xbox 360 controller support * Free OST with bonus tracks, full 12 page manual and health and safety brochure	Windows

Viriax	Locomalito	2011	Retro visuals and music, simple controls and procedural generated levels can turn this little game into something adictive, plus when it comes to challenge yourself with a score system that consists in the sum of your best score in each level. Be part of the Viriax infection and show humans who set the rules in the Earth. Infect important organs one by one, and destroy the ultimate defensive hope of humanity, the Nanobot Assembly System, implemented as a chip near the brain. Reach the organ core to infect it, but watch your energy level: each time you move up or attack you will lose part of your energy, as also you will lose a bunch of energy if you get hit by an enemy cell. Collect red globules to keep your energy full and think when it's a good moment to stop and make some points. The OST is composed again by the genius Gryzor87, but this time he used exclusively PXTone to create those sick chiptune tracks.

This game is dedicated to that virus![/quote] Features * Short and intense gameplay * 6 levels, with a different structure in each play * Play with only one hand, using the cursor keys * Unlockable items and documents***[media=vimeo]20756677[/media]	Windows

The Dead Lands	author	2003	A classic Zelda style quest with more difficulty in most aspects but easier in new ways. 2nd quest enemies are present as early as Level 2. Dungeon entrances are all hidden secrets. After dying, Link starts with full hearts. There are no enemies on the roads between kingdoms or in towns (like Zelda II). Fight the monsters, defeat Ganon, rescue 3 princess.***[sic]After Link saved Hyrule from the evil grasp of Ganon the kingdom of Hyrule prospered as a major center of trade. Three other kingdoms called Tenn, Montar, and Frellan arose around Hyrule, as a result of its expansion. Link put his weapons in the royal armory, because he had no need for them any longer, and the Triforce was placed in the throne room and heavily guarded. Link moved to the kingdom of Tenn and began to raise a family. But one fateful day Link was killed by a group of angry moblins; not even his great skill could save him. For over 10 years Hyrule reigned as the largest kingdom in the world, but the remaining band of Ganon's army sought tirelessly to revive their once great leader. After 11 long years they finally suceeded. Ganon easily retook the Triforce in the absense of Link and brought Hyrule to its knees. 9 years later Ganon grew angry because even though he destroyed Hyrule, the three daughter kingdoms still prospered, so he sought to capture and destroy them as well. He began by kidnapping the princess Julie of Frellan. Then Ganon created strong-holds (in each Ganon put Link's weapons to keep them from any adventurous soul) in each of the kingdoms and sent his armies out to destroy the land. Now it is up to Link's son, also named Link, to gather his father's weapons and destroy Ganon in the Dead Land.	Linux
