Super House of Dead Ninjas, PC
This lovely ‘modern retro’ game has been made to look and play like a Super Nintendo game. And I mean that as a compliment.
Chibi-Robo!, GameCube
Released in 2005 on the Nintendo GameCube in Japan, and 2006 everywhere else, Chibi-Robo! is a memorably cute third-person 3D exploration game in which you take control of a small, house-cleaning robot that must do chores for a nutty family in order to rise up the worldwide robo rankings.
Crypt of the NecroDancer, PC

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.

The Magic Circle cleverly mixes modern high res graphics with retro DOS-style graphics, and is something of a first on that front.
Super Monkey Ball 2, GameCube
Sega‘s brilliant Super Monkey Ball series reaches its pinnacle with this Nintendo GameCube sequel.

Screenshots of every level of Hewson’s 1984 platform-gaming classic, Technician Ted. And what a tough game it is! It’s playable and very colourful, though.
