Cave Story

[Vladimir]

I wanted to do that for a while, since I haven't seen many people who know about it around here.

Cave Story is a Japanese freeware game made by Pixel, a sprite artist. It is considered the best Freeware game ever, and has been compared to the GBA Metroid and Castlevania games. It's an action-RPG where you must... Actually, I'm not sure I can tell about your objective without spoiling the gameplay, so you'll see what the game is all about.

Since it's Freeware, you can find it in a lot of places, but you can download the Deluxe Package (with tons of cool stuff and the English patch included) here:

Hope you'll have as much fun as I did. :3

I played that game once. Never really got past the Sand Zone, if I'm right.
Saw a full playthrough of the game before I tried to find it, though. XD;;

How come?

Personally, I think the Sand Zone is the most annoying part of the game.
As soon as you get to the Core, it gets much more exciting.
