Deep Voyage	My Game Company (Mad Gears)	?	A proprietary commercial game.
Fragments of Power	author	?	Almost a straight-up Zelda game. Complete 9 dungeons to save the girl. Does contain an optional bonus dungeon. Graphic improvement of course. Game mechanics are updated a bit; you push multiple blocks to solve puzzles for instance. Also, game path is not nearly as open as the original Legend of Zelda (like later Zelda games).

1st Quest Revamp	author	2002	Collect useful items guarded by secret puzzles and enemies to gain access to 8 dungeons with more useful items guarded by bosses to gain access to the last dungeon to defeat Ganon and rescue Princess Zelda. This is a remake of the original Legend of Zelda. The graphic overhaul is immediately apparent but there are a few other subtle changes. Most changes make the game not necessarily easier, just a bit less frustrating. Save or Continue, and Link's hearts remain unchanged or filled to three if they were below that. Boss fireballs not deflectable and Stone Statue fireballs deflectable looked identical in the original, now players can see the difference. Dungeon rooms are rarely so square as they were. Blocks are often replaced by walls where appropriate. And rooms that used to be a pattern of blocks are not a more organically shaped area with various obstacles to maneuver around. The new room shapes and smoothed out terrain means there are less places that look like bombable walls, so bombable walls are easier to find. Most notable it the changes in dungeon layout, where are not so much changing the rooms as it is replacing the room-to-room tunnels with a simple stairway (instant arrival at the other end). New pathways have been added. And dead ends and pointless treks into obscure corners of the dungeons are virtually eliminated by adding something useful or even necessary to them. A good example of this is in the first dungeon. In the original, Link can go left and get a key by defeating enemies. Or, Link can go right and get a key by defeating enemies. Or, both, if the player choses not to or does not knows where bomb to avoid using keys. In this remake, Link can only go left. When enemies are defeated, the staircase must be opened and this leads to the right room where the enemies must be defeated to open the exit back to the entry room. Another trick is make dead-end paths useful by having pots in the rooms. This way, players can now grind for hearts and money on a path that was just a waste of time in the original. Also there's more completely optional secrets to discover. Certain room based puzzles in the dungeons have completely new solutions. Player will find themselves using items in ways they are used in other Zelda games and in unique ways. These are usually easy and nearly intuitive. Along the lines of encountering something new in a room in a dungeon on the way to the boss; using the item collected in the same dungeon in a on the new thing to solve the puzzle. These are not just an added step, these teach the player. These new tricks learned in the dungeon can be used elsewhere to find a whole new set of secrets that have been added to the game. Also, use old tricks in new places to find the some of new secrets. This aptly named 1st quest is but only the 1st, no 2nd quest follows on defeating Ganon (to the best of my knowledge).
Ganon's Claim	author	2005	Cerulia is a once peaceful land north of Hyrule. It sits between Nevachrea and Galhaldia, two nations at war, and remains strictly neutral. But, retreating from another defeat, Ganon encamped there and is causing havoc, so Link pursues him. Collect 8 pieces of the Golden Power. Collect items from mini dungeons, dungeons, shops, and hidden corners of Cerulia. Find Ganon, defeat him. Along the way, there are no simple caves, only multi-screen complex mini dungeons. There are actual mini dungeons and regular dungeons. Mini games and if you can find it, a master dome to test the skills of the best players.

Aquaria	Humble Indie Bundle (Bit Blot)	2010	It's out, see the gameplay video.*[media=youtube]S7wPM-GX2Yg[/media][media=youtube]ZBHemKy81Ms[/media] [Zerothis][[youtube:iTRJVhrvwLg]] [Sanguine]*Originally Aquaria was not going to have Linux port, but Alec apparently flipped over and ported it in one night (only the sound engine really needed porting). The most difficult part of the porting is case sensitivity in the filesystem rather than any coding part, Mac and Windows ignore case when accessing files while Linux doesn't, making files that open quite well on Win/Mac result in file not found in Linux. They're working to convert all the files and their names in scripts/code to match, so the issues will probably go away after a bit. [s]The Linux release may be a bit iffy still.[/s] (The thread shown in the source link has most of the stuff related to Linux port. Just scan for posts by Alec.) Update: Released as part of the 2010 Humble Indie Bundle after which Aquaria was also open-sourced. [Sanguine]
Icebound	Fastermind Games	2013	[b]Icebound[/b] is a dark fantasy visual novel that takes place in a world locked in the depths of an ice age. It features quality illustrations, a non-linear plot with multiple endings and puzzle game elements in the form of a portable alchemy kit. On the world of Permia, two races - human and feran - have forged a way of life revolving around alchemy, the ability to manipulate the forces of natures. In the north resides the Holy Empire, whose machinery and society both run like clockwork, and in the south, the Council, a powerful alliance of tribes who have mastered the spiritual arts. A wandering alchemist named Dougal winds up in the isolated town of Isenbarr with his Familiar, Isaac, hoping to find a job and earn some spending money. What he doesn't expect to encounter is a web of intigue involving a clockwork beast, a seductive secret agent, a priestess with mysterious powers, a mad genius, and a group of eccentric alchemists competing to vanquish a deadly monster. Nothing is certain... except that chaos will ensue.
