Inspirational games

A very surreal, very interesting game that I love because of the unique gameplay, artstyle, and story.

The first tactical RPG I've played, and in my eyes still one of the best.

One of the longest lasting platformers.

Despite the fact that I continually wished it was Shining Force, this game had me wanting to make games more than any other in recent history.

The first in a line of a great series, and still the best. Combines RPG, megaman, and trading card games.

My affinity for tactical games becomes clearer and clearer. A great strategy game, that I spent plenty of time playing against my brother.

Does this one even need an explanation?

The first game that I got actively involved in modding, and one of my all time favorites.

One of the most difficult platformers of the 16 bit age, with some of the most varied gameplay I've experienced in a single game.

Great gameplay with an exciting story behind it - and all made by one guy. The kind of game that inspires you and makes you want to reach for the skies.
