I pretty much only play indie games and generally the unpolished, experimental, freeware variety at that. I just like small games that can sometimes be experimental and surreal. Some of cactus' work is right up there. No ass-kissing involved. Different strokes for different folks. Simple.

Hope the search bar on the front page gets added back soon. I miss it.

Just recently I was thinking about touching up Block Invaders. There were quite a few more ideas I wanted to put in there.

For one I don't like the enemy whirl in effect. Also it needs a blocky background. I really might pick it up again

That would be awesome.

Good job.

Oddly enough I was going to write a small guide up with all the little hints I've picked up when recording indie games. I don't use commercial tools, aside from Fraps on occasion. Not sure when I'll get around to it, if ever though.

There's a utility called Quickres that can change your resolution to lower resolutions then you normally get access to through display properties - it puts an icon in your System Tray for easy access.

Well if the series inspired someone to pick up where they left off that would be cool.

Meh I still think Final Fight is up there, even if it was the 1st. The Punisher was pretty cool also, if a little on the short side.

Cadillacs and Dinosaurs was awesome though.

one thing i learned from this game is just how out of touch gamers today are with real challenge. this game would have been considered fairly normal for a shmup 20-30 years ago. i didn't feel it was particularly challenging myself. not an easy game, but definitely not a hard game. standards change so much.

Not to mention the game only came out a few days ago...

Save options and infinite lives have brainwashed a generation of gamers. Dear god!

I featured the 1st in my original Underrated Indie Games youtube series. From watching footage of the sequel I tend to think it loses some of the B-game feel of the first (which was one of the appealing factors for me personally) but I haven't played it yet.

I think I might have his e-mail address somewhere.. I've contacted him via e-mail in the past but he doesn't usually respond quickly though. Will try and find out what is going on.

Cripple Apocolypse, Pasta Master and various others.. one of the better b-game devs I reckon.
