Momodora

Boss fights as highlights

The first, deliberately simple entry in the Momodora series: a short, punchy arcade-style 2D action platformer with pixel art. It is rough and unpolished but challenging.

Athena

Fantasy setting

A classic SNK arcade platformer where Princess Athena fights through mythology-inspired worlds, picking up weapons and armor along the way.

Rygar

Fantasy setting

A classic arcade platformer where the resurrected warrior Rygar fights through hordes of monsters with his Diskarmor to reach the demon Ligar. Fast, linear action with old-school 1980s difficulty.

Momodora III

Boss fights as highlights

A classic 2D pixel-art action platformer where you play the priestess Momo through mostly linear levels, collecting items and uncovering secrets. It relies on quick dodging and tough boss fights, and you don't need to know the earlier games.

Wings of Vi

Pixel art

A demanding 2D action platformer where you play the angel Vi, leaping and fighting through perilous worlds to stop the freed demon lord Jeh'oul. Precise jumping and quick reactions are the core of the experience.

Lords of Exile

Pixel art

A classic 8-bit action platformer where you play a cursed knight fighting through linear stages in search of revenge. It delivers NES-era retro gameplay with a demanding challenge.

Alex Kidd in Miracle World

Pixel art

A classic 8-bit Sega platformer where Alex Kidd punches his way across Aries, rides vehicles and settles boss fights with rock-paper-scissors duels. Charming yet fairly tough, and an important piece of Sega history.

Magician Lord

Fantasy setting

In Magician Lord you play a sorcerer fighting through side-scrolling monster hordes and blasting them with magic. As a launch title for the Neo-Geo it is a no-frills, demanding arcade classic with an appealing fantasy atmosphere.
