Can we make a collection thread for all of those free games on PC that were created by lone indie developers or as passion community projects? The kind that AAA would never create?

I'm talking about sizeable experiences that may take more than an hour to complete. It can be standalone/total conversion mods, campaign maps (like for HL and GMOD), M.U.G.E.N games, RPG Maker games, small Unity game, etc. Anything you think is a good product of passion and is worth playing.

A few examples:

STALKER GAMMA - Amazing hardcore horror survival. Already spent hundreds of hours on it.


Hyper DBZ - The best original handcrafted M.U.G.E.N game no question.

Touhouh Gensokyo Reloaded - Does anything need to be said?

KOF WING 2022 - Best game with KOF characters you'll find in my opinion.


The Black Heart - Horror fighting game! Very cool.

I think that STALKER GAMMA is the best, but Hyper DBZ and IB are the quickest to download and jump into.

Thanks for your patience, I'll find time to download those games later. I'll start by playing some light PC games. Have a great day! I liked your profile picture.

I like to try different game genres, I like to vary my tastes, and what anime does your profile picture look like? It looks like Little Red Riding Hood.I'm making a list of games for me to play.

My profile picture is from Akazukin Chacha, an extremely funny retro magical girl anime that indeed takes elements from Red Riding Hood. Highly recommended!

If you ever decide to watch it, here's the best subtitles I found. It seems that a lot of versions out there have inaccurate subtitles:

I really appreciate the help, have a great day! And now I feel like playing that game you mentioned about Japanese memes, it's a fighting game...I'm a person who rarely gets stressed; I only get stressed when I get lost in a game that I have problems with, just like Zoro. Thank you for your patience. I think I've seen you around here before; we've spoken before, I think. Never mind, it must be my imagination. Thank you for your patience. I'm playing Pokémon Emerald.
 

Some of them do have price tag, but most of Nami's works are freeware

I'll try the Witch's House as soon as I can then! ::peacemario I was planning to play it at some point.

I played IB many years ago and I remember that I absolutely loved it. The characters stayed in my heart all these years. It's quite the game.

Nice! If you liked Ib, you'll like the witch house.

Wow, that's great! I'm looking for game ideas to play. I just finished a Super Famicom game. Do you have any recommendations? I just want to try this game first. Do you think it would run on...?In the Windows emulator you used
 
Throwing in Sonic Triple Trouble 16-Bit, a highly regarded fan made reimagining to the game gear title!



I'll suggest more soon but this is the one that immediately comes to mind, it rly is fantastic

How about... Famicom Fighters? ::badpc

And I'm not sure I follow the rest of your sentence...
Which hardware do you expect it to run on? Most of these games should run on any low-spec PC. Which emulator are you referring to?
