Retro gaming with a modern twist
« on: June 29, 2013, 06:25:08 am »
It's a bit of a Skrillex commercial but I think it's well made.

If anyone knows of other games like this (high-quality advert games), I'd appreciate some links.

Well the first and obvious rec that comes to my mind is Minecraft, but I'm sure you've already tried (or at least heard) of it.
There's also indie games like Cavestory, Bastion, Limbo, Super Meat Boy, VVVVVV but those are not quite the same (yet still fun to play in my opinion)
And finally, there's I Wanna Be The Guy, which requires Jolly Green Giant's Balls to play, and basically reserves a spot for you in the closest mental institution after 2 hours of playing. :P

And not one of those games is an advertisement.  :'(

You're right! :)
tbh I don't know any advertising games (also can't see why you'd want to play one, but that's off topic), but will let you know if I get to play one.
Yet, while those games didn't fit the "Advert" category, they did fit the "Retro" category, so I thought it might be a good idea to introduce them.
Hopefully someone else will introduce better games :)

If you guys want a retro-modern game, go play Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon.
