The Great Giana Sisters is infamous for being the game that Nintendo went after*, because it copied the formula of their Mario games a little too closely for their liking.

Video game companies.
Elevator Action Returns, Sega Saturn
This sequel to the classic Elevator Action was first released in arcades in 1994, then later for the Sega Saturn in 1997.
Space Taxi, Commodore 64
This ancient little game, made by Muse Software for the Commodore 64 in 1984, is still completely brilliant to play now and has lost none of its appeal over the decades.
FEZ, PC
FEZ is a wonderful, colourful 2D platform game that utilises an interesting three-dimensional screen-flipping technique as part of the game mechanics.
The Magic Circle, PC
Hugely fun, satirical 2015 indie game about playing a broken RPG.
The Magic Circle cleverly mixes modern high res graphics with retro DOS-style graphics, and is something of a first on that front.
Arkanoid: Revenge of Doh, Atari ST
More than just another bat and ball game, Arkanoid: Revenge of Doh on the Atari ST is a brilliant conversion of the popular Taito arcade game.
UFO: Enemy Unknown, Amiga
Julian and Nick Gollop and Mythos Games came together to make this classic 16-bit tactical combat game in 1994.
Super Monkey Ball 2, GameCube
Sega‘s brilliant Super Monkey Ball series reaches its pinnacle with this Nintendo GameCube sequel.
Scavenger: Legendary Canned Games, PC
***CANNED GAMES***
Last night I published a collection of rare screenshots, given to me by Scavenger in 1994, and showing a number of games that were being developed, but were ultimately canned. Meaning: cancelled. Never released. Never saw the light of day.
