I have a friend who runs a freeware database. If you think it's apt. I will post the link.

I thought he meant post the link to the games on there...

or maybe...

I dunno!

Ah we know retro remakes, they featured James' rototzdx & our superfly DX - top site!

BTW you're free to post recommended games from that site in this thread

Bungluwa

And here's what both games above are lacking: more smooth movement. Here the sprite is tiny (smaller than the mouse cursor), and moves much smoother around the screen. Plus there's a trail of particles behind it while it moves, making it look very nice, and some parallax scroll, making it look even better.

The gameplay is very simple, just get to the other side of the level (top or bottom) and collect stuff along the way, avoiding hazards. Oh yeah, there's double jump in there. Or, better, multi-jump. Well, there's limited jump power, but you can jump a lot of times around the screen. This ruined it a bit for me, because in essence I could fly around the screen at will. But anyway, it's challenging enough still.

Before I forget, the musics reminded me of Mad Max's, especially one's bass tune seemed like an outtake from Ghost Battle

Anyway, jump to it! http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/545717

Wrath of Annubis 2

In lieu of a review, here's a few things that crossed my mind while playing:

• "Hmm, either I'll mute the music or I'm seriously going to hurt someone!"
• "Hey, this reminds me of Gold of the Aztecs! With shrunk sprites! And stuff move quicker!"
• "It's a bit jerky."
• "Wall jumping seems very crap."
• "So, navigate to switch, push it, hurry to the exit, collect treasures."
• "Lots of levels in there. But you can play them in any order. Just like crystal caves!"
• "It's challenging"
• "Argh! The music!"
• "Can anyone port crystal caves or do I have to do it myself?"
• "The jerky movement/frame skipping kinda ruins it for me"
• "Well, it's still fun"

I have no idea why I love this so much, I shouldn't. And it's also stopping me working/filing those disks.

It's a kind of "Draw the path" game. With a skier. I don't think it's been mentioned yet.

Oh yes it has . Adorable game in any case

Just out of interest, There's a new Cactus Games package out, I will link to that and the old one.

Nintendo conversions with stickmen aren't usually my thing. But there's something very wonderful about this one.

Any chance of adding some pics for those?
