This. Also: Seiklus. Honestly, everyone who likes Knytt has to at least try Seiklus, and I am sure many have not. |

Anything by FAInd. I could do Eternal Daughter (IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN) if you aren't comfortable with it. The Spirit Engine. Um, let's see... did we ever do a Liero post (with the new versions and all that)? I feel like I may have started writing that post at some point.

BMcC- Don't forget Retarded Goat Hunter as well! Haha. I'm still embarrassed that the main carrot guy sprite in that is an altered Metal Slug guy. Also: http://www.realityonthenorm.info/ Reality on the Norm. An old and convoluted adventure game series made by many different people. Really is quite cool to take a dive into, as the scope is amazing. There is 9 pages of games on the site right now. (Something like 82 different games!) Has this ever been mention on the Tigs? It has to be the longest running indie game series  |

This. Christ, it's one of my favorite games ever. It beats a lot of my favorite commercial games. It's just FUN, and the music also kicks some serious ass!  |

yeah maybe as a post in classics week you could do a "career starting games post" where you post all the games that really started the career of designers that have been indie staples for a while.
Alex Austin: Bridge Builder
Tom Fulp: Picos School
Chris Delay: Uplink
i cant think of any other designers who are still making indie games now that did 6 years ago.... bah

I think Pixelships is worth a mention, since only Pixelships Retro was covered on TIGS, and that wasn't as good as the original; plus, it was shareware. I'll have a look through my freeware folder when I get home, and see if there's anything else that stands out. |

i was thinking at first that recommendations like seiklus and armjoe sound crazy because who hasn't heard of them or played them? But considering the frontpage again, most people there probably *haven't* played those. a few classics of indie gaming that i really don't think anybody should miss (besides armjoe and seiklus): photopia, the cleaner, magecraft, the spiderweb software exile trilogy (not the other games named exile, but the games that eventually were remade and called avernum), cute knight, uplink (by introversion), the 5 days a stranger series (there are a lot of others but i can't remember them offhand like this, will update later). this may also be useful: http://www.hotud.org/reviews/tag/developer/Freeware/?criteria=3&limit=10&order=jr_year&page=1it's a list of freeware releases on the-underdogs, ordered by year. there are 822 results so it's a lot to wade through, but going through that will give an fairly good history, even if underdogs is a bit biased towards IF games (it seems like half of the games on that list are IF games). they go back to 1979. |

On a slightly related note, I have a (mostly) mint condition Klick & Play CD standing on top of my stereo.
