I posted this in the non-Nintendo section of the chatbox awhile ago. Nobody looks in the non-Nintendo section of the chatbox ): Swell list though.

Karoshi is a great game on there, as well as Bonesaw and Dinorun. There are lots more, but those are some rgeat ones I saw on the first couple pages.

Sorry for the duplicate post. No thunder was stolen intentionally.

I played a few of the art / adventure style games (Judith, Pathfinder, Today I Die) as well as ROM CHECK FAIL. The Castlevania pastiche was spot on too.

After playing Sam and Max I have a hankering for point and click fun. Spooky point and click fun would be good too.

I tried Dinorun but wasn't overly impressed. I'll give Karoshi a go later though.

This link you provided allowed me to check this ROM CHECK FAIL out...was highly entertaining....need to give some of these others a go

ROM Check Fail is entertaining just for the idea of it and for the first 2 or 3 levels, but then it already gets extremely stale and it's also pretty buggy, which got me completely stuck a few times, requiring me to start all over again...
A nice idea but nothing more than a decent execution.

My opinions about ROM CHECK FAIL was mostly like KeeperBvK's. Nice idea, but just gets stale after a while.

I have to check out some of these games later because some look really interesting.

Great thread! Wonderful list of games, and I love the shout-outs to GemCraft, Eversion, and Chexquest, but it's a bit depressing not to see Knytt Stories anywhere.
I DLed Spelunky a long time ago, and never got it working. Guess I should get it from another site.

I gotta try some of these out for sure!

Knytt Stories isn't there for the same reason Cave Story isn't there. It was already shown in a previous year's list. The game did come out in 2007 and gained immediate popularity after all.
