Witchaven, PC
Developed by Capstone Software and published by Intracorp Entertainment in 1995, Witchaven is a sword and sorcery hack-and-slash ’em up, based on the Wyrm Works tabletop Role-Playing Game of the same name, and made using the Build Engine.
The Addams Family, TurboGrafx CD
The Addams Family for TurboGrafx-CD was developed by ICOM Simulations, Inc. and first published by NEC Technologies in 1991. It does not follow the template of all the Ocean ports of this game. It instead does its own thing entirely and takes advantage of the audio streaming from the CD by adding lots more sound and speech. Which gives it a distinctive “talkie” feel.
Anteform, PC
Anteform is a tiny, futuristic RPG, written for the PICO-8 development platform, and was first released in 2019. It uses the same game engine as Minima and was written by the same guy, Feneric (aka Eric W. Brown). It’ll run on Windows, Mac, Linux and Raspberry Pi.
Minima, PC
Written for the PICO-8 development platform and first released in 2018, Minima is a miniature version of the early Ultima games and runs on Windows, Mac, Linux and Raspberry Pi. It’s a tiny RPG with exploration, a scrolling overworld, first-person dungeon crawling, turn-based combat and movement, and NPCs to talk to.
Melkhior’s Mansion, PC
Another superb tribute to Ultimate‘s isometric adventures, this one called Melkhior’s Mansion. It was created by BitGlint Games and could be described as an “isometric Atic Atac“, although there is definitely more to it than that.
Sam’s Journey, Commodore 64
Developed by Knights of Bytes and published by Protovision, Sam’s Journey is a super-polished platform game released for the C64 in 2025. It has numerous similarities to Super Mario World on the Super Nintendo, which is no bad thing, and features 27 levels, each with multiple sections.
Brian Bloodaxe, ZX Spectrum
Described as a game with “primary imbalance“, by publisher The Edge in 1985, Brian Bloodaxe is a strange platform game that tries to have a laugh at the expense of everyone – you; itself, and the genre of platform games it belongs to.
Postal: Brain Damaged, PC
Postal: Brain Damaged is a so-called “boomer shooter” (whatever that means), developed by HyperStrange, and first published in 2022. It’s a fast-moving, humorous and challenging First-Person Shooter with a Story Mode and a Survival Mode (but no multiplayer, that I could see).
Turok 2: Seeds of Evil Remastered, PC
The second Turok was again remastered by Nightdive Studios and re-published by Atari in 2017. The original Turok 2: Seeds of Evil was released in 1998 for N64 and Windows.
