Cave Story. What a fresh new game. Wait a sec. It isn’t new? What do you mean? When did it come out? 2004? What?! How did I miss this gem?
It’s all the best of 8-bitness without having the annoyance of blowing on NES carts. What is a home-brew homage to many different games, including Metroid and a long-lost Sierra game, Zeliard, brings to the modern age a bit of that nostalgia for simpler times. It feels 8-bit, but it isn’t quite as rough around the edges.
