Okay, this is totally outside the scope of this blog, but I couldn’t think of anything to write this week, so…

Here’s my list (in no particular order). All games are for PC or browser:

1. Redder — Play Online
A Metroid-type game with a shocking twist!

*******************************

2. HeroCore — Download
A tough-as-nails retro shooter! Even on “Normal” mode this game is super hard, and on “Hard” mode it’s impossible. But I beat it somehow. Are you up for the challenge???

*******************************

3. VVVVVV — Play Demo Online — Buy Full Game for $5
Awesome gravity-flipping action! This is the only game on the list that isn’t actually freeware; the two-level demo is free, the whole game will set you back five big ones. But it’s worth it!

*******************************

4. L’Abbaye des Morts — Download
Finally: a game that lets you play as a 13th Century French monk! Awesome Spectrum ZX-style graphics in this fun little platformer.

5. Guardian of Paradise — Download
Neat little Zelda-style game. It’s pretty easy, but still fun.
