Neon Drive is a beautiful modern retro game that is a kind of cross between an old, ’80s arcade game, and a rhythm game.

BioShock Infinite, PC
BioShock Infinite (2013) is the third game in the BioShock series, and it is one a hell of a game! It is a bright, imaginative, funny, touching, emotional, violent and downright surprising adventure, set in a steampunk-style cloud city called Columbia.
Bit Blaster XL, PC
Bit Blaster XL is a modern (2016) take on the age-old Asteroids style of gameplay, and what it does it does extremely well.
Teleglitch: Die More Edition, PC
This incredibly tough roguelike shooter is a wonderful game. It looks fantastic, scrolling along, with an overhead 3D view, but with 2D sprites in the playfield. Graphically Teleglitch is clever.
Stunt Island, PC
This excellent MS-DOS title, released by Disney Interactive in 1992, literally allows you to set up stunts, film them, and then edit them together into an independently-playable movie afterwards.
Crypt of the NecroDancer, PC
Crypt of the NecroDancer is a smart modern, indie retro game that crosses rhythm game mechanics with ‘Roguelike’ dungeon-crawling. And it works extremely well and is a lot of fun to play. Crypt of the NecroDancer is like Ultima, but played to the beat of an Abba tune…
Limbo, PC
Dark and disturbing, Playdead’s Limbo is a small boy’s journey into a world filled with deadly traps and killer monsters.
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.
