Ryukishi07's honest regard for KEY's nostalgic VNs surface in a young-adult novel strong in its intriguing scifi premise and emotionally arresting later half, but might disenchant some non-YA readers.

Hard to explain how hugging and moving your turret-girls plays so readily as a premise. With how frantic and cute it gets, its a strikingly fun little game, its just hit with a need for more content.

In a fun, sim-like score-attack game, Namco arcade legend Yuriko Keino returning to retro sound design is a remarkable treat in this unique title about digital lifeforms living in old microprocessors.

An adventure of cryptic exploration and memorable interactions, this is the artistic PSX gem many modern indie RPGs owe unsung lineage. At its heart, Moon is about meeting unforgettable characters.

A true forgotten gem from an era of rough 1980's microcomputer game design, its influence largely unsung. With level editor and many historic modes, the reverential effort in this port is outstanding.

An incredible sequel to one of the most intelligently written SciFi VNs I've ever read. If choosing between the game or anime adaptions, the VN's frequent inner dialogues make for a finer experience.

This must be the best take on a "flappy" game yet. Simple fun, so much style and an incredibly catchy acapella soundtrack could make this among the most addictive entries in anyone's Steam library.

Gems like this were THE reason to import in the 32bit days. Tengoku's a festive tribute to the arcades full of character way beyond any shmup I know; it and this port were clearly made with much love.

Very enjoyable, very cute TD with surprisingly great voxel graphics but also intuitively well-thought-out involving verticality and compactness in its many stages. Play this excellent little TD gem!

An FPS with approachable difficulty and a Doom-wad sense of good shooty fun. Though same-y in art assets, theres still some interesting setting ideas in Citadel (and doujin FPS are quite rare to see).
